Lemmings Holiday, released in 1993, is a festive spin-off of the classic puzzle game Lemmings, specially crafted for the holiday season. This stand-alone title stays true to the original Lemmings gameplay, while infusing it with a delightful Christmas theme, adding a touch of festivity to the beloved puzzle-solving experience. The game is set across a series of Christmas-themed levels, each uniquely designed with holiday decorations and a wintry atmosphere. The core objective remains consistent with the original Lemmings formula: players must strategically use the various abilities of the Lemmings to create a safe path to the level's exit. The challenge lies in ensuring that these adorable creatures can follow the path without coming to harm.

The primary goal in Lemmings Holiday is to save as many Lemmings as possible. Players need to think creatively and plan ahead, using the Lemmings' special skills, such as digging, building, or blocking, to navigate through the levels' obstacles and dangers.

With its combination of festive visuals, thoughtful puzzles, and the classic Lemmings charm, Lemmings Holiday is a delightful title in the world of puzzle games.
