More than just a decorative skin, the holiday DLC will swap coins for presents and challenge players with learning a whole new vehicle in the form of Santa Danger’s Christmas Quadbike.

“I think of the Quad bike a bit like unlocking Luigi in Mario Galaxy,” explained Hello Games founder Sean Murray in a press release. “Suddenly the controls and handling are different, and every level has to be relearned and replayed. The ATV is faster for instance, but very bouncy.”

The free DLC will only be available on XBLA for a limited time, as Hello Games claims, “Santa disappears after Christmas and so does the awesome ATV!!

Joe Danger: Special Edition was released on December 14 as an exclusive for Xbox 360 daredevils. A sequel, Joe Danger: The Movie, is currently in development.

According to the listing, the game is to be released for the Xbox Live Arcade at some point in the future, with Microsoft Korea listed as the publisher. Though the XBLA version hasn’t actually confirmed by the developer it makes sense that they would port their game over to Microsoft’s console. Beyond simply being deserving of further acclaim (seriously, it’s like Trials HD had a baby with Sonic the Hedgehog), it would help build up the franchise in time for the currently in-development sequel. Though the original was PSN-only, the sequel, Joe Danger: The Movie, is scheduled for release on the Xbox 360, PC, and PlayStation 3, leaving you with no excuses not to check it out.

Then again, it’s not like the Joe Danger series has incredibly strong continuity. Joe doesn’t gain a new love interest or save the world, he just jumps bikes over stuff, so you won’t need to feel too bad if you skip the first when you pick up the second. Well, maybe just a little.
