This pack came to me as a surprise, new christmas levels are always welcome to get in the feasty mood and it has been a while since last serious attempt at a christmas pack.
There are 3 levels total, typical to the original Holiday Hare. I’d say all 3 are of medium length, so the pack is good for about a quick 30 minute run during christmas. The story is simple yet slightly more detailed than other christmas packs. I also love the fact that different holidays are mentioned (Kwanzaa and Hanukkah) and finally the Krampus as your enemy, it’s great to see some love for the old germanic devilish creature.
The levels themselves are very easy even on Hard, but have that certain flow just like the original SP levels. Worst about this pack is secret placement which is often unclear, crate “puzzles” that just require you to move from crate to crate, and tileset usage that sometimes messes up masking. Eyecandy is mediocre, ammo placement is okay but nothing special, just like the standard share of christmas enemies.
Do I recommend this pack? Yes, but just to have a relaxing time during your well deserved holidays, and/or to have a nostalgic trip while playing something different.
The maps aren’t flawless, there are some tilebugs but overall I had a great experience.
Quite cool. It doesn’t provide any challenge or innovation though. Also, at some places the levels look empty or flat. Other areas look ideal for pickups but don’t contain any. One thing I would especially suggest to look into improving is the secret placement: avoid placing unmarked secrets in the floor or spikes because nobody will find them.

Wow, this levelpack is brilliant.
It is very easy and there isn’t much challenge, which I’m fine with as long as the level looks good that’s all what matters to me. And yeah, it really does. I love how there are gems all around the levels, how there is food everywhere, all sorts of food, and what I love most is how good the enemy placement is. I also love using these crates.
I know I’m late to review this as Christmas is over, but I didn’t wanna wait until next Christmas to review this great levelpack.
Well done, man. I’m sure to replay this level next Christmas.
There are some eyecandy flaws but it’s okay for me. It’s not too much challenging (like other people said) but it was enjoyful. Not saying “DL recommended” or “not recommended” but everyone can give a try for it.
Good package with nice usage of the customized tileset. There are a bunch of points where I felt like the levels were designed with only a specific character in mind, and overall the challenge itself and the finale was nothing special. All in all, good addition to the holiday collection!
