Thinking about new games, and wanted to gauge interest in a Christmas-themed pinball machine. Seems like a good family-friendly theme with lots of crossover outside the pinball community.
What features, modes, shots would be cool in a ground-up custom machine like this? Looking for concepts and ideas, so if there is enough feedback to make it compelling maybe someone will give it a shot...
Probably a bit too generic to sell. A more specific Christmas-related theme (e.g. The Grinch, Christmas Story) might do a little better.

Wait, you're not doing a one-off re-theme? No way anybody is going to start this project unless it's you.
Related, and much more interesting theme:

I would prefer a "Candle Nights" pin, its the pan-religious, pan-sexual, person pan pizza holiday. Much wider demographic than Christmas.
Personally think a Christmas themed pin would have limited appeal 11 months of the year unless it was a specific theme like suggested above. Example Krampus, The Grinch, Christmas Story, Charlie Brown etc.
Or you could do a calendar/seasons theme with multiple holidays that could be the different modes.
Just a suggestion.
