DJ Pauly D - Beat That Boardwalk Christmas Edition
It's that time of year, and what better way to celebrate than by dropping fat beats in a retro-arcade inspired platforming game? "Help DJ Pauly D collect candy canes and pick up presents while gifting his love to the Garden State girlies. Yeeah buddy!"

Chicken Invaders 3: Revenge of the Yolk Christmas Edition (Full)
From Big Fish Games comes another holiday themed arcade-style romp with plenty of humor and plenty of poultry. Shoot the galactic chickens out of the sky to save earth from their nefarious invasion.

Island Wars 2 Christmas Edition HD (Full)
Another trending Big Fish Game, this one has you defending your south pacific island from gift-stealing baddies disguised as none other than the fat man in red himself. Use a cannon to shoot down the enemies and take back Christmas.

Stay Alive
Looks like arcade games are the trend of the day, right? This one involves piloting a space ship through obstacle courses and collecting power orbs along the way. The orbs can be spent to upgrade ship weapons, shields and ammo supply.

Visual Schedule Planner
Bucking the trend above, yet still trending itself, is this special education app by Good Karma Applications, Inc. It is "a completely customizable visual schedule iPad app that is designed to give an individual an audio/visual representation of the “events in their day". In addition, events that require more support can be linked to an “activity schedule” or “video clip” to help model the task even further."
