It simply doesn't quite feel like Christmas without the big man in red himself. This intricately detailed Santa Claus skin should fit nicely into any holiday setting, either single or multiplayer.

Players can even pair this skin with a nice holiday map, perhaps one pertaining to the North Pole. With players taking on the appearance of St. Nick, it becomes a constant reminder that Christmas is approaching. Just be careful, as some players may be expecting a few gifts when you arrive.

With winter comes plenty of snow in most parts of the world, and there's still plenty of snow to be had in Minecraft as well. Considering that, why not become a snowman yourself?

This skin achieves that effectively, coming complete with a carrot nose, buttons, as well as some orange gloves, a scarf, and a hat. After all, a living snowman might get a little cold itself.

This skin should fit in nicely in a snowy or tundra biome, where a snowman can feel most at home.

The story of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer has been retold for generations, and now players can take on the role of Rudolph in Minecraft as well.

While the skin, unfortunately, doesn't have antlers (understandable, considering the constraints in the game's skin models), it's still a cute and fun way to celebrate the winter holidays.

Complete with hooves, excellent texturing and the titular red nose that lights the way, this skin is an excellent option for celebrating Christmas 2022.

For some animals in the world, it's winter almost all year round. This is the case for many penguin species, but these animals are nonetheless a symbol of winter and make their way into Christmas time as well.

As that's the case, this skin is a perfect fit when it gets chilly outside or in Minecraft itself. The skin features a particularly tall penguin complete with a festive green and red scarf, as if you're going to keep warm in Minecraft this winter, so it doesn't hurt to add some Christmas-colored clothing.

Much like penguins, polar bears are quite used to the cold, but it never hurts to have a little help during the chilliest nights of winter. This Minecraft skin is both cute and fashionable, featuring a polar bear bundled up in a red plaid winter coat.

A polar bear skin like this fits in for winter and Christmas but also looks nice enough to be equipped for any season, especially in snowy or frigid frozen mountain peak biomes.
