Happy Hotspot Holidays 2025 – A Developer Season’s Greetings Video

• Features by Jack Allin
• Published:

For many people, the holiday season is a festive time of tradition – exchanging gifts, decorating the tree, overdoing it at the big family dinner, and re-watching favourite movies and specials for the umpteenth time… which apparently includes the annual season’s greetings video from Adventure Game Hotspot!

We thought perhaps the feature had run its course, but we got so many requests to revive it that after a year’s hiatus, it's back by popular demand.

You’ve played their games and enjoyed their work, and now many of this year’s (or any year’s) top developers have gone above and beyond by bringing you their personal best wishes at this special time of year – plus a brand new original song by Robert Holmes and Sarah Kelley!

On behalf of everyone here at Adventure Game Hotspot, I join them in warmly wishing you the very best and expressing our deep appreciation for your support, from the bottom of our hearts.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah (if slightly belated), or a Wonderful Whatever your celebration of choice! May it be a time of friends, family, love and good cheer.

I would add Happy New Year as well, but there’s one more big surprise coming before 2025 is done, so stay tuned!
