This time of year is often represented with a particular aesthetic. Sure, it doesn't reflect reality for the large swathes of the world that don't experience winter in the same way, but it's undeniably beautiful: landscapes dotted with fir trees, tucked beneath a gentle blanket of pristine white. Snowmen and snowball fights, belligerents wrapped in mittens and scarves. Cocoa by log fires, flammable stockings pinned above them with blithe confidence. Reindeer, sleighs, starry nights. You know what we mean.

For our latest screenshot bounty, we want you to find this aesthetic within your favourite video games and bring your best shots right here to the platform! Maybe you've found a lovely snowy planet, or your big MMO is having a beautiful winter event. The theme is 'festive' and/or 'winter' - show us something that'd make a great Christmas card.

We've got a special festive rate for this screenshot bounty: the six best festive screenshots will receive $10 apiece - double the usual screenshot prize!

Task: Take and share the best festive screenshot in any video game
