Awesome thread, I'll add

The playlist is mine, me and my buddy put it together in 2009 and have tweaked it every year since. I've added all the ones you guys suggested, they are all good!

 

[ProtoCents]

A couple good tracks from Paper Mario Sticker Star

Snow Rise- Paper Mario: Sticker Star

Ice Flow- Paper Mario: Sticker Star

 

[Boss Doggie]

Damn, I thought the thread title was "Xmas moments in gaming" and I was gonna link Resonance of Fate's Christmas mission.

"I said the hem is very keen!"

Darn, looks like the music for that stage (Square Garden-Red & Green A and B) aren't in youtube. If you want to just search for that name.

Also glad you put in Ragnarok Online OST!

[Nocturnowl]

Damn that's a comprehensive list up there, it's even covered Cool Edge which I thought would fly under the radar, not sure there's much else to add.
Ah but i've always got an ace up my sleeve.
Winter in Lanseal (Valkyria Chronicles 2)
How pleasantly festive, it's also quite subdued compared to some of my favourite jolly Winter themes, i'm going to go drink some hot chocolate to this music as it seems appropriate.

If any other themes are missing that came out in the last year let me know and I'll add them.

Happy listening!!!
