Hiya, seems the fighting is fierce on the frontlines of Christmas/Holiday-themed match-3s!

and compare to mine:

Winter Wonderland uses outdoor snowy scenes though they seem to involve houses, there's only 4 backgrounds though. It has a nice snowing effect going on and lovely classical guitar music. The game has a hammer with 3 levels of power up, snowballs (animated like mine) and a bomb. Also you have to remove ice tiles like mine, and it even has double thickness tiles (with snow on), like mine! It has weird horrible looking graphics for the chains on the locked pieces. Pretty similar in some details, but overall it has a different vibe.
Holiday Gift has indoor Christmas decorations type backgrounds, a gingerbread man that looks like a voodoo doll, and some very dodgy music imho. This game is hardly any different from previous incarnations. However it was released before mine, so I hope that people didn't get their "fill" of Christmas games before mine came out!
Of the two I'd say Winter Wonderland is better.
Last Christmas the makers of Holiday Gift made Best Gift which was pretty much the only other match-3 Christmas game I was competing against, if I recall correctly. There also weren't that many other Holiday games but there's quite a few this year all competing. We'll have to see how well my game get's on in comparison. Also on Big Fish Games and Reflexive I actually have both Xmas AND Holiday Bonus out at once which gives me a bit more coverage. Hopefully fans of one will consider the other.
