December is the perfect time for brands to flex their festive spirit with seasonal ads, Christmas campaigns and in Sega's case, bizarre holiday-themed art. Back in 2009, the games company released what it thought would be a wholesome Christmas art piece to spread holiday cheer – what they actually created was the most unintentionally chaotic piece of Christmas-themed gaming art of all time.
Perhaps it's the oddly nostalgic art style or the motley crew of random Sega characters, but there's something charmingly disturbing about this festive illustration. Gaming trends may come and go, but this archival piece of gaming history lives on forever in my heart.
