How I would choose
Want a browser tab and nothing to install? Christmas Mysteries, published through hiddenobjectgames.com, is the only row marked both free and no download. I link to that official page. I am not embedding it.
Want a short paid download on Steam? Christmas Mystery: 100 Hidden Cats listed at $0.59 on 14 Nov 2026, with a 10 Nov 2026 release date and ten scenes. Doodle Cats: Christmas Mystery is a $0.99 DLC requiring the separate Doodle Cats base game, released 18 Dec 2024, and the store text says 102 cats. Masters of Puzzle – Christmas Edition: Mystery Town is a $4.99 DLC requiring Masters of Puzzle, for Windows and macOS, with a single illustration you cut into 250–2000 tiles.
My Grandparents' Christmas Mystery is not a cozy find-the-object game. The Steam page calls it a first-person psychological horror walking simulator, about 20–25 minutes, $0.99, released 30 Dec 2022. I leave it on this table because the title matches, and I label the genre so a family search does not land there by surprise.
The two itch.io games by WojtekWesolowski are free Windows downloads (the second also lists Linux). Both are described as first-person horror, not party kits. Adventure Escape: Christmas Killer and the Elephant Games and Friendly Fox mobile titles are store apps. Their price cells say 0 because the store pages present them as free to download, which often still means an account and optional purchases. I do not have a second source for what those purchases cost, so I do not invent a range.

Free and escape, split out
A shorter list of browser rows is on free online games. Hint-style notes for the escape apps are on escape games. Full level-by-level pages wait until search data shows a specific game needs one. The walkthrough hub explains that rule.
Questions
Which Christmas mystery game runs in the browser?
Christmas Mysteries on hiddenobjectgames.com is the row with platform Browser and no download. The Steam and itch.io rows need an install.
Why are some prices blank or zero?
A blank means the page I opened did not show a price. A zero means the store presented the download as free. I do not convert either into a guess about in-app purchases.
