Carcassonne: Karácsonyi ajándék is an expansion for Carcassonne released in 2013 for 2–5 players and 30–45 minutes per game. It was designed by Attila Szőgyi and Hegedűs Csaba.
In this small expansion to Carcassonne, Santa Claus gives you a gift if you either place a tile next to a cloister owned by another player, or place a tile that only has roads (and fields). Gifts in the game are represented by 2 decks of cards from which the players draw when they are entitled to a gift. Some gifts must be revealed and resolved immediately, others can be kept to be played on a later turn or at the end of the game. This print-and-play expansion was included in the Hungarian magazine Játékos Emberek Magazinja (JEM) with permission from Piatnik Hungary.
