About Christmas slots
Many studios release a Christmas edition of an existing hit, so a lot of games in this list are reskins: the same rules and often the same RTP as the original, with a festive look. Others are built from scratch for the season.
Where a Christmas edition exists, compare it with the original game on its page. If the RTP versions and max win match, the difference is only the art.
RTP of Christmas slots
The highest headline RTPs among Christmas slots are Xmas Joker by Play'n GO (96.98%), Dear Santa by Red Tiger (96.76%) and Secrets of Christmas by NetEnt (96.72%). The average headline RTP across all 68 is 96.15%, and the lowest is 94% on Golden Donkey XMAS.
12 of them (18%) are published in more than one RTP version, so the return depends on the version an operator runs. The widest gap is on Xmas Joker: from 96.98% down to 83.99%.
Volatility and max win
Volatility is published for 49 of the 68 games: 2 low, 19 medium, 18 high and 10 very high.
The largest published max wins are 20,000× on Christmas Carol Megaways, 20,000× on Santa Express and 20,000× on Santa's Rage. The median max win of the 30 games that publish one is 5,000×. A max win is a rare ceiling, not a result to expect.

14 studios make the games in this list. The most represented are Pragmatic Play with 18 (average RTP 96.34%), Endorphina with 9 (average RTP 96.04%) and Red Tiger with 8 (average RTP 96.03%).
