   ribbon frame or a double christmas item power up is triggered.
   A cookie leaves a level three dark pulp.

2. Netted item: An item behind a net can not be swapped.
   Can only be removed by matching the christmas item behind the net
   with two other christmas items of the same type, or if it's in the
   path of a triggered power up chain.

3. Bomb christmas item : A bomb is represented by a dynamite with a timer.

   The timer shows the number of seconds before

2. Remove dark pulps.
    Dark pulps are removed be clearing the christmas item ontop of the 
    dark pulp.  There are three levels of dark pulps.  The darkest
    pulp needs to be removed three times, which means you need
    to clear three christmas items ontop of that dark pulp.
3. Bring down candy cane(s) to the bottom of the game board.
4. Free the netted christmas item.
5. Fly all angel(s).
6. Consume the christmas wreath.

----------------------------------------------------------

A vaulted item can only be opened by matching and clearing
all the keyed christmas items. 

----------------------------------------------------------
Angel(s) are not switchable

You need to match an adjacent item around the 
angel to change its phase

In order for the angel to take flight, the angel needs to
cycle  to all the phases, from tucked wing to
open winged angel.

All angel(s) needs to fly in order to level up.

----------------------------------------------------------

with a power up.

3. Dancing Santa
4. Christmas wreath

### 5/5 — Love this game!

*2024-03-07*

Great music, but you can turn it off in settings. I love the many levels that I can play as much as I want to without spending more money. 

This is the best game because it’s challenging and fun without being frustrating. All the Bull Bitz games are great!

### 3/5 — Update

*2020-09-22*

I love this game but a recent update has made it impossible to turn the sound off. Please correct it.

### 5/5 — So far it’s fun!

*2019-10-21*

I like that you can choose your level of play.  Great graphics, a little confusing as to which way the rows will clear.

### 5/5 — I absolutely LOVE this App!

*2019-05-03*

This game is one of a kind. Kuddos to the developer!

### 5/5 — Awesome games!

*2017-12-21*

Before discovering this developer, I had literally given up on match 3 games. They are all the same nowadays (either generic and poor quality, or filled with obnoxious advertising, Facebook nags and in-app purchases). You won't find any of it here! Christmas Drops is delightful and relaxing. The game's objectives are interesting and get you hooked. Effects are great, as well as the music and sounds. I've played through Halloween Drops and Christmas Drops twice. Now I'm back for more and I'll return again for Valentine's Day and Easter. Love the holiday themes! Thanks to the developer and Merry Christmas 😊🎄

### 5/5 — You’re awesome

*2017-12-12*

A rare puzzle game that is premium.  No ads, no need to buy power ups, no energy system, and no freakin lives. Awesome. The only problem I have is that it isn’t updated often

### 5/5 — Great game

*2017-11-12*

Levels get harder as you go. Kept my interest

### 5/5 — I’m glad to be back

*2017-10-29*

Enjoy all your games went from android to Apple glad I didn’t have to repurchase this one.

### 5/5 — Christmas Drops

*2017-01-25*

2 years since I wrote a review on these games.

The graphics are good, music is wonderful and the levels are gradually more challenging.  10 out of 10 every time.

Now all the games I have purchased need to be updated for IOS 10.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2016-05-07*

Excellent match 3 game. Nothing more to pay, great game play and cute animation. A bit tricky on the higher levels but lots of fun. Great value, if you play all levels all the way through, hours of entertainment.
