Lake: Season’s Greetings Brings Holiday Cheer to Nintendo Switch in December 2025

Lake fans looking to revisit the charming town of Providence Oaks will have a new reason to celebrate at the end of 2025.

Whitethorn Games has confirmed that Lake: Season’s Greetings, a festive downloadable content (DLC) pack and prequel to the original title, is officially set for release on Nintendo Switch globally on December 22, 2025.

Players in Japan will enjoy an earlier launch date, with the DLC available there starting December 11, 2025. Set during the winter holidays of 1985—a full year before the events of the original Lake—Season's Greetings shifts the narrative perspective away from series protagonist Meredith Weiss and instead places players in the role of her father, Thomas Weiss.

As Thomas, players will reconnect with the friends and familiar faces of Providence Oaks, as well as meet five brand-new characters, each bringing their own unique storylines and deepening the lore of the close-knit community. According to Whitethorn Games, Lake: Season’s Greetings gives fans the chance to experience Providence Oaks through the eyes of a long-time resident.

This new perspective not only uncovers more about the Weiss family dynamic but also expands on the unsolved questions hinted at in the original game.

Like its predecessor, the DLC emphasizes relaxing, slice-of-life gameplay, allowing players to unwind as they deliver mail, interact with neighbors, and participate in a variety of after-work activities—including group hangouts, nostalgic evenings with television favorites, and classic outings that capture the essence of 1985. The branching narrative structure, a key feature of the Lake series, assures that players can expect multiple outcomes and storylines shaped by their decisions.

Rather than seeking definitive right or wrong choices, the gameplay mirrors the intricacies of real life, fostering an atmosphere uniquely cozy and contemplative—especially fitting for the holiday setting. For fans eager to immerse themselves in the warm glow of Providence Oaks during the holidays, Lake: Season’s Greetings is set to reinforce the series’ reputation for heartwarming storytelling and immersive, relaxing gameplay.

With the arrival of five new characters and greater insight into cherished town members, this DLC is poised to be a highlight of the winter Nintendo Switch schedule. Lake: Season’s Greetings will be available for purchase via the Nintendo eShop.
