Red and Green characters: Santa's year-round helpers
It's like every day is Christmas

Holly, jolly wardrobes
Merry whatever-it-is-that-you-celebrate! No matter your December festivity of choice, there's a good chance that every mall, restaurant, and department store you been in this month was plastered in red and green. Something about this color combination just makes the holidays feel all the more special, even if you don't participate in this whole "Christmas" business.
So for no reason other than to propagate the holiday spirit, we've wrangled up every red-and-green video game character we could think of into one place. These heroes and villains have taken it upon themselves to spread Christmas cheer every day of their lives--and by golly, we appreciate it. With that, here are 25 characters that take the December holiday season seriously.

Deck the halls with sprites and renders
Whether you're with family or friends, make the most of this holiday season--by telling us in the comments which red and green character we oh-so-stupidly forgot. If you're more of a Hanukkah / Kwanzaa kind of guy / gal, drop some knowledge on which game characters best exemplify your December holiday of choice!
