PlayFirst celebrates Christmas in Diner Dash and Mall Stars on iOS

With Christmas being just a few short days away, it's time for yet another developer to jump into the Christmas spirit by releasing themed updates on iOS, and that newest developer is PlayFirst. The "dash" master has released updates to both the original Diner Dash and to the shopping themed Mall Stars, and we're here with a breakdown of what you can expect from both.

In Diner Dash, players can unlock the new winter Wonderland location for free and jump into Christmas themed levels where Flo must serve antler-wearing customers and send orders to a snowman chef. Flo herself is even wearing a Santa hat for the season, and the diner (and DinerTown) has been updated with new decorations.

In Mall Stars, the hectic nature of the holiday shopping season has been brought to life virtually with new decorations and attractions that are available for building. Your mall's "Stars" will also dress in their festive best, like elf outfits and Santa costumes. What's more, a brand new "Holiday Frenzy" mini-game is available for play, bringing Santa's Little Helper to your mall, complete with an endless amount of cheer.

Both of these updates will only be available for download and play for a limited time, so make sure to update your games (or download these games) from iTunes as soon as you can. Happy holidays!
