3. Christmas Solitaire

Sure, you can play normal solitaire on your smartphone, but it’s not holiday-themed. At this time of year, you want Christmas Solitaire instead.

There are power-ups to aid you if necessary, offering increased odds of matches or card highlighting to show valid moves.

Of course, this is Christmas-themed, so each level is set against a cheerful holiday backdrop—and since there are 100 levels, that’s a lot of festive fun.
