Xmas Lemmings

About

Xmas Lemmings is a 1991 strategy demo from DMA Design that repackages two levels from Oh No! More Lemmings with two new festive maps. Players guide pixelated lemmings through snowy terrain, navigating hazards like icy slopes and frozen traps while managing their path to survival. The Christmas-themed levels add holiday decorations, snowmen, and jingle music to the formula. Controls and mechanics mirror the Lemmings series, with a focus on assigning roles to characters to overcome obstacles. The demo’s charm comes from its seasonal aesthetic and brief runtime. Each platform version includes different existing levels, making replayability a minor curiosity. Though short, it offers a glimpse into the studio that later became Rockstar North. The Santa-hatted lemmings and twinkling lights feel quaint by today’s standards but work as a nostalgic time capsule for retro puzzle fans.
