Magic Christmas Tree: Match 3 is a tile-matching puzzle game in the popular Vega Mix series that features a Christmas memory. As a young girl, Vika, or Vicky, and her granny helped prepare and decorate their hometown for the holiday festivities. In this Christmas flashback, the player collects items from match-3 boards to earn coins that help them win the games and stars that they exchange to complete various tasks.
On each level, the game displays the number of available moves and tasks on the left side of the screen, with one or more boards near the center and boosters on the right side. A board commonly holds items seen during Christmas, such as gloves, ornaments, stars and trees. The player must do more than collect these items. They must also objects, such as wooden crates and ropes, and collect other holiday items.
Magic Christmas Tree: Match 3 provides the player with several tools to help them complete their goals. They can perform matches of four or more basic items to create special ones. With these pieces, they can remove a single basic item from a board and mixed pieces in large circular areas and along columns and rows. The boosters eventually unlock to provide similar aid. The player pays for more access with coins.
Once the player has saved enough stars, they use the lower-left Quests button on the town screen to help little Vika with her tasks. For example, they can use one star to shovel the walkway, knock icicles from the roof of the post office, and clean the front door.
