A very merry LittleBigPlanet holiday

Don’t leave Sackboy out in the cold this holiday season - give LittleBigPlanet's popular mascot the perfect gift with these festive themed downloadable extras from PlayStation Network.

With the festive season in full flow, what better way to get into the mood than by adding a little holiday cheer to LittleBigPlanet - and with a number of downloadable extras available on PlayStation Network, it's easy to get started.

These fun extras are only available for a limited time only, so make sure you get them while you can...

Have fun in the world of LittleBigPlanet.

Xmas Home by Ocist

Explore a lovely festive looking and decorative house, complete with kitchen, bedroom, living room, television sets, and even a colourful tree which plays home to lots of well wrapped presents.

Oh Christmas tree by andrewnotmatt

Well designed stars, angels and candy canes are the features of this entertaining level, as well as a guest appearance by Father Christmas himself... albeit stuck in some clouds, the poor soul.

Merry Christmas! Noel by Kimidori-apple

An appropriately looking frosty background and welcoming Santa are sure to give you a festive glow, here - although the true star of the level is the jet powered reindeer. Hop in and take a ride.

Joyeux Noel (Merry Jakhirs-mas) Jakhris by Jakhris

Save Santa and go on a sub quest adventure in a cold cave where a polar bear lurks... although this snowy beast is more than he seems. Tackle this excellent level full of cable cars, ice slides, reindeer and sleds, and find out why. It's also great for two players, so grab a friend and enjoy.

Sackboy le pere noel by Rolerbal

A brisk level which has some nice prize bubbles and decorations which make great use of the PLAYSTATION Eye camera.

Buon Natale! by I__ALE__I

Take a trip around Santa's house at night time, which has a large batch of wrapped presents and an even larger number of helper elves waiting to greet you.

Weihnachten 2008/Xmas 2008 by Riesi4

A large and inventive level which packs in so many features you can't help but be entertained. Moving platforms take the shape of angels, you can zip along a Santa looking skyline, run across rooftops and travel down a chimney, avoid falling icicle traps and even ride off Rudolph the red nosed reindeer's sleigh.

Feliz Navidad (Merry Christmas) by JUCAVILIN 22

Take Sackboy on a journey that lets him light up several Christmas trees in a snowy setting full of snowmen.

God jul/merry christmas by European_Gamer

Play this nicely built level which was made for an official PlayStation Scandinavian forum competition, where you're tasked with finding your aunt and uncle to invite them to the local Christmas party. There are score bubbles that fall like snow from the sky, electrified ice platforms, a house full of illustrated artwork and lots of objects as gifts when you finally get to the party.

Santa's Sleigh by Foolishly

Hop into Santa's sleigh and go full speed ahead in this quick level which has an amusingly fun conclusion - check it out and find out for yourself.
