Mahjong Christmas Holiday

Spot the Titanic in the background of a mahjong board and you'll do a double take - Mahjong Christmas Holiday sneaks in little surprises like that between the snowy landscapes. It's a proper Christmas mood-setter, tile by tile.

The gameplay is the classic pair-matching you already know: clear identical tiles from the board, but only if their left and right sides are free and nothing sits on top. Wipe every tile and the level's done. Simple to grasp, tricky to plan out when the stack gets tall.

If you're already into matching games or just want something relaxing to wind down with, this fits right in. Fans of the Mahjong Connect style will feel at home here too. It runs free in your browser on desktop or mobile, no download needed - just you, the snow, and a board full of tiles.

It's a solid pick from the Puzzle shelf when you want something festive but not frantic.

Clear the entire board by removing every pair of matching tiles. A tile is only selectable if its left and right sides are open and no other tile sits on top of it - buried or boxed-in tiles have to wait.

Use your mouse on desktop or tap the screen on mobile to select tiles. Two identical tiles selected in a row form a pair and disappear.

Scan the edges of the stack first - those tiles are usually your easiest matches and clearing them opens up what's buried underneath.
