Earlier this week, Microsoft released a free Xbox 360 "holiday theme" meant to celebrate the festive time of year. Now, the company has taken things one terrifying step further.

An Xbox Live Holiday Snow Globe is currently available within the Xbox 360's Spotlight channel, allowing Xbox Live-connected gamers to toss the avatars of their online pals about with a mere press of the A button.

For another random selection of all-too-eager victims, just hit X. Happy holidays!

I installed this theme earlier but couldn't find any snow globe in the Spotlight part of the menu, even after a reboot. Maybe it was right in front of me and I somehow missed it. (Or it's for US customers only like so many other things, lol.)

- You have odd friends. My friends are an eclectic bunch, and even they mostly built reasonable avatars. : Arcanum
