Ok, so I know there are a number of games out there that give you goodies/special modes if you fire them up around Christmas/Halloween/Easter/Whatever - but I thought a list of them would be a cool thing to compile for a thread...
...Lo and behold, TVTropes did it for me: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HolidayMode
The ones that I was most familiar with are:
Christmas Nights
Rise of the Triad
Animal Crossing series
Team Fortress 2 (hats, etc.)
Shenmue
Today I am going to try a few of the others listed on the site (Cave Story + sounds like it would be cool), and I'm curious if any of you have tried these or stumbled across holiday goodies not mentioned on the site. Share your experience here!
Games with unlockable holiday goodies?

Cave Story+ completely redos the tile set / character sprite today. Its an impressive ammount of work for one day of playing.

Tyrian 2000 says "activate christmas?" when you boot it in December. If you type "yes", then your ship will shoot candy canes instead of bullets.
Dirt 2 gives you a Christmas tree bobble-head toy for your dash.
Killing Floor does some Twisted Christmas thing with evil Christmas characters.
