'''''The Twelve Games of Christmas''''' was a series of Let's Plays created by [[The D-Pad]] that debuted on Christmas Day 2013. The series began with the unboxing of the [[OUYA]] that they "bought [themselves] as an ironic birthday gift", and proceeded to cover the free demos of twelve games available on the console, with the promise that whichever game's video received the most likes would be featured on the channel as a full LP. After playing the demos, they offered some final thoughts on the OUYA, and an unboxing of an [[Xbox One]]. The series concluded on January 10, 2014, after 15 episodes.

Ultimately, Ludosity's ''Zelda''-inspired ''[[Ittle Dew]]'' received the most likes of the twelve games. The promised LP has yet to materialize over three years later, though Rick maintains that it is planned for some time in the future.
