Christmas-related demos for Atari 400/800?

[JamesIves]

I realize this question has been asked before, but I was wondering whether there are any impressive Christmas-related demos (with graphics and music) available for the original Atari 400/800?  Perhaps something akin the the famous Commodore 64 Christmas demo (see below).  Links would be appreciated.   I'm a lifetime Commodore user who recently bought his first Atari 8-bit computer (a near mint Atari 800) - and I'm quite impressed.  Looking forward to getting my C64 and Atari 800 running Christmas demos simultaenously this season during holiday gatherings!

 

Thanks!

I recall a autumn trees basic demo in GTIA mode and maybe a falling snow demo or two, but no other demos come to mind.  Perhaps browsing through the ANALOG and Antic magazines repository on AtariMania.com would turn something up.

This isn't exactly a demo, but this program does have some music with animated graphic scenes.  It's kind of fun.

EDIT

Now I read OP question and this demo isn't a 400/800 related one.

This one was always a favorite of mine!

 

I think there's an Atari version of the C64 demo posted above.  It's one where there is light snow that turns heavy and the snow accumulates on the Atari logo.  I'll try to find it.

That is darn impressive! The snow rolls off the tree and it actually accumulates on the ground.

There was also a sort-of snow-demo-construction set in Atari Basic that allowed one to a) load a Gr. 15 picture, b) add a scroller and the program then added a snow animation - that's where one of the Snoopy XMAS demos and the Hosers demo come from (the disk contains two more demos, one shows a snowman thats not in the links above.)

Thanks so much, CharlieChaplin!
