I am looking for any suggestions for a Winter Holiday themed scenario for running at our local game store on Christmas Eve.

Thanks

3-01 The Frostfur Captives might be the right combination.

To Scale the Dragon has you climbing (and later skiing) off a snowy mountain, and Chasm of Screams has you climbing and going into a snowy mountain. From Under Ice takes place in Irrisen, but I didn't really find it memorable. The Shades of Ice trilogy also takes place across the northern lands of Golarion, of which the third actually features a lot of snow. Frozen Fingers of Midnight deals with people succumbing to a sudden chill, and Icebound Outpost is about an Aspis operation half-buried in a glacier. To Judge a Soul 2 is also high up in the mountains, although only one encounter actually features snow. Where Mammoths Dare Not Tread is also pretty light on the snow, only featuring in one or two encounters that can be skipped.
That's pretty much all I know.

From under Ice is another trip to Irrisen. It has viking and witches and a good amount of snow.

Scarab Sages

My vote goes to The Frostfur Captives and/or From Under Ice as well. Both really really good winter themed scenarios and in my top 10 in overall scenario list. The Frostfur Captives is lots of fun for GM as well.

Looking for something similar myself.

Besides those listed above, I'll mention the first part of the Quest for Perfection trilogy, which goes up into a snowy mountain.

Scarab Sages

We got little Christmas party with our local PFS group this year and our GM is going to probably run some evergreen as heavily Christmas themed version. He told us all to make level 1 Christmas Elves (gnomes actually, since they are closer to finnish elf). I think it's a wonderful idea.

Anyways I wouldn't mind more suggestions for winter themed scenarios, since I want to run game or two end of the year and winter themed ones would be nice. Or scenarios you could easily flavour to be winter themed without changing any of the mechanics. So keep 'em coming.

Why do we not have a Die Hard-style scenario yet?

Dark Archive

Or some Fae elves led by a guy in a red suit, running amok and handing out presents that end up eating the recipients.

It's not holiday-themed, but I'm still holding out hope for Big Trouble in Little Tian-Xia. Complete with a *single* playable Iconic who's artwork is oddly reminiscent of Snake Plissken.

The rest of the party plays normal PCs. I'm picturing a dice-game mechanic to decide who gets to play ol' Jacques.

3-01 The Frostfur Captives is the first one I though of. its winter themed and was a blast. just a touch of gm intervention on the part of the frostfur clan could seriously result in just about anything.....

And just imagine the mayhem resulting from:
those mischievous gobbos wearing red felt hats and everyone who sees them thinking they're festive instead of dangerous.

well holidays do often involve large meals or feasting of some type and good gods the food we went through.... including some not-foods that ended up food.

You know why the hats worn by redcaps are red, don't you? That actually seems appropriate for the Frostfur clan.
