If you’re looking for ways to celebrate the holidays during winter break, Nintendo has your back! Spend the holidays playing games featuring Mario and friends – available on the Nintendo Switch™ family of systems – while also lifting spirits, spreading cheer and bringing smiles with other Nintendo inspired activities!

Get Moving with Mario and Friends

If your little ones need an activity to get their sillies out during the winter break, join them in a few rounds of a  Mario Kart™ 8 Deluxe edition of “This or That”, where they’ll pose and high five their way through different ways to race around the course. Or they can stretch, jump and reach their way through an energetic Super Mario Bros.™ Wonder themed version of “Strike a Pose!”, where they can swim like Yoshi or jump like Mario!

These activities are fun for the whole family and get kids moving and thinking on their feet – all the while enjoying quality time with their favorite Mario and friends characters. It’s a great way to keep their minds and bodies engaged while school is out!

Spread Holiday Cheer with Mario

Give your holiday caroling a little Mushroom Kingdom spin! Nintendo has reworked a classic holiday tune so you can celebrate the season in a whole new way. It’s very catchy, though, so don’t be surprised if you and your kids are still humming it through the rest of the year!

Start Making That List

Has your child already started making a list? Well, before you check it (twice) head over to the Play Nintendo Wishlist Creator to ensure that they cross every “T” in “Toad” and dot every “i” in “Inkling”!

Kids can put together and share their very own, customizable holiday wishlist on Play Nintendo – they can add the games and products they are most hoping to unwrap this season and even print it out to leave (not so subtle) hints around the house!

Have Fun with Festive Activities

While your kids are on Play Nintendo making their wishlists, they can unlock even more ways to have fun during their winter break! Solve puzzles, print crafts (like cupcake toppers and coloring pages) and tickle their brains with quizzes – such as the Mario and friends personality quiz that’ll help them determine if they’re a little more Luigi than they thought, or if they have some heroic Peach tendencies!

Play Together on Nintendo Switch

Bring the family together to play games on the Nintendo Switch system, which can be taken on the go during holiday travel or hooked up to the TV for family game nights – giving you so many ways to keep everyone entertained!
