D&D 5E in search of a holiday adventure

[pukunui]

Hi all,

Looks like I'll be running a D&D session on Boxing Day this year, and one of my players has expressed an interest in playing a Christmas-themed adventure. Anyone know of any good ones out there?

I immediately thought of "The Longest Night" from Dragon 370, but it's for 11th level PCs, whereas my group will only be 4th or 5th level ... so I'd either have to tone down the dragon to a wyrmling or come up with a bunch of 11th level pregens.

I'd prefer not to run anything super-cheesy. Something vaguely Christmas-ish would be fine. Doesn't have to be 5e, although that would of course make things much easier.

Let me know if you've got any ideas!

Cheers,
Jonathan

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

I don't think I've ever seen a Christmas- or Advent-themed D&D adventure? We've got stuff like Castle Amber for Halloween, but nada for Christmas. Still, I admire what you're trying to do. Want recs for short adventures that aren't necessarily Advent-themed?

Or...how cool would it be to run The Grinch Who Stole Christmas as a one-shot?

We hope to have something themed in EN5ider this year.

Haven't played a single lick of any of these, but this is what I found with a quick Google search:

Krangel's Workshop
A Christmas Carol
Twas the Wight Before Christmas

The above two is all I can recall at the moment. There was one for D&D Gamma World 4e that might adapt to D&D but I couldn't find the link.

I would be tempted to do something with Krampus.

Thanks for the links, guys! I'll check 'em out when I have a moment.

To be honest, I actually have no idea who Krampus is. I guess I have some googling to do.

Yeah Xmas D&D adventures? Never heard of one! Let us know what you find and how it goes

I don't know too much about Krampus but they are releasing a movie on it. It is set in modern day but could easily be set some other time.
