I'm just curious - what are the best run(s) with a holiday theme that people have GMed or played? I.E. New Years, Christmas, Easter, Val's Day, [insert national holiday of choice], but NOT Halloween please - it's been covered already.

A group of mine hijacked a truckload of toys and distributed them in the barrens for Christmas.
All on their own accord too. I couldn't believe it. |

At the beginning of December my team had a month to complete a (very dangerous) run. They procrastinated and dilly-dallied until Christmass. One player grabbed his AK and put on a Santa suit for the run. When they got the guy they were asked to retrieve, they called up Mr. Johnson and told him they had a Christmass present.
Not intended to be a Christmass run, but they took more time than I thought. That's the only one I've got, as I've not been GMing long enough for more than a full year in-game time. |

I once borrowed a scene from "The Long Kiss Goodnight" and had a crazed cyber-zombie use a gaggle of terrified carolers as a meat-shield for a hit. The encounter was going very well until one of the players decided to try using the mortar he picked up in the FoF catalogue. Santa hats everywhere.....
/closest I've ever come to a holiday run. |

I once wrote a run based on a cartoon in the New Yorker many years ago called "the great santa shootout".
Basically, as the holidays approached a terrorist group with armored santa suits and gift bags full of assault rifles and grenades cut the power to a shopping mall and stormed it. The PCs were inside on some unrelated mission sans heavy weapons. The first battle would be the toughest but after that they could use the dead santas as ammo depots since they were all carrying lots of ammo in those giant gift bags. |

I had a player stuff a Thanksgiving turkey with C-12 for a messy assassination. The news headlines the next day read: "Embassy Explosion! Turkey Being Investigated!"

Go into the Tir, locate a shed behind an inn, overpower a new-born baby and his poor bewildered parents and smuggle them out. Take them to Seattle and turn them over to Mr. Johnson.

We never knew What or Why. We were paid in Nuyen. The characters call it the "Baby Jesus Run". We don't know if Mr. Johnson was the Roman King Herod or one of the Wise Men. We worry about the Temple when the baby becomes a teenager. If he lives that long.
