It’s almost Christmas and those of you with gamer kids will know how hard it is for nontech-savvy parents to find a gift they will love. Hopefully, our Gaming Christmas Gift Guide 2023 will help you out.
As they grow older the gifts get smaller and a little more pricey, however, for the gaming-loving kids big and small you can still put a smile on their faces. I have two teenagers and a budding gaming girl who have advised me on what should be under the Christmas tree this year.
Cuisineer
One day, Pom returns to her hometown of Paell to see her parents only to find their restaurant closed for business and deep in debt. Now, she must re-open the restaurant and make it thrive. To collect ingredients from the land, Pom pursues adventure in the world outside Paell, wielding her cooking utensils against giant chickens, artillery shrimps, fire-breathing peppers, and other pesky perils, sipping boba tea along the way. Cook up a frenzy and grow the derelict eatery into a sensational restaurant that will make Pom’s parents proud.

Have a great Grinchy time trying to stop Christmas in this festive platformer – and help the Grinch’s heart grow three sizes along the way in The Grinch: Christmas Adventures!
You’ll have to be sneaky to steal all the presents in Who-ville! Thankfully, the Grinch has some wonderful, awful ideas – like a stealthy Santa costume, a Candy Cane Lasso, and a speedy snowboard to take on Christmas-themed obstacles in snowy locations.
With visuals inspired by Dr. Seuss’s illustrations, and two-player fun with the Grinch and Max, The Grinch: Christmas Adventures is a fun new way to enjoy this Christmas classic.
