I received the following items in order to review. All opinions expressed are my own.
I am pretty sure that if you looked at the Christmas wish lists of kids across America, you would find video games on most of them. My kids always ask for video games and it’s no surprise since playing on their game consoles is one of their favorite things to do. Ubisoft has a HUGE assortment of games to choose from and just recently released some awesome titles just in time for Christmas. So if you’re looking for must have video games that the whole family will love, look no further.
Just Dance 2016
We have been buying the Just Dance games for several years now and I can tell you that they are one of our favorite games to play. Just Dance is a game that the whole family can join in and play, and actually have fun. Each year a new game is released and it’s bigger and better than the last.

I can’t stress to you guys enough how FUN this game is. We spend hours as a family playing it and while we are having fun, we are always breaking a sweat from all the movement. Just Dance is a great way to get an hour or so of exercise. I also wanted to point out how the game has really improved over the years. This game seems to pick up the movements much better than the other years which is great.
Just Dance Disney Party 2
For all those Disney fans, Just Dance Disney Party 2 is the ultimate game to get you up and moving. I wrote about this game last month in detail and you can check out the full review here. But just to recap, this game has some of the best Disney songs recently released and it’s the perfect family game. It features several songs from the super popular Descendants movie that you can dance to. Overall it’s a great game and would make a great holiday gift.
Just Dance games make the perfect addition to your holiday! Whether you give them as gifts or just challenge your party guests to a dance-off, both of these games are bound to give you hours of entertainment.
The Smurfs Nintendo 3DS
I was so excited to see that they have a Smurfs video game. I grew up watching The Smurfs and love seeing how it’s been given a new life the past few years. My kids love it as well so when I saw the release of The Smurfs on Nintendo 3DS I knew it would make the perfect stocking stuffer.
In The Smurfs 3DS game you will be able to play characters such as Papa Smurf, Smurfette, Brainy Smurf, Handy Smurf, Chef Smurf, and more characters from the original comics! With these characters you can play mini games such as flying a plane, making potions, play hide and seek and even play musical instruments. But my favorite part is the ability to rebuild the Smurf’s village however you want. You’ll be able to gather supplies such as wood and bricks. Decorate your house and even grown your own garden. This is such a fun game and perfect for kids of all ages (and even a few mom’s too!).
Gravity Falls Nintendo 3DS
And last but certainly not least is Disney’s Gravity Falls Legend of the Gnome Gemulets for the Nintendo 3DS. This is a really fun game and kids who love to watch the show are going to love this game.
In Legend of the Gnome Gemulets you get to play as both Dipper and Mabel inside Gravity Falls. You can switch between characters who each have their own unique powers and abilities. You’ll be able to explore the Mystery Shack, the Gnome Forest and much more. The graphics are really great in the game and look as if you are playing inside the TV show. Really fun for kids! There is also a lot of the same humor found in the show in the game.
All of these games would make the perfect Christmas gift this holiday season. There is still plenty of time to get your games and I promise, with these gifts under the tree you will have some smiling faces on Christmas morning.
