★★★★☆

12 Games of Christmas offers a compelling take on Programming, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Holiday Projects is excellent, I found the sections on Holiday Projects less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Programming that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Educational Games more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Educational Coding will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Festive Learning, if not the definitive work.
