PS Home erecting Santa's Grotto

Stay elfy this festive season.

PlayStation Home will open a Winter Wonderland on 10th December; a fantasy land of snow and elves and Santa's Grotto.

But unfortunately not all is well there and Santa will need your help to complete preparations and make Christmas a triumph. Rewards are promised to those who help, and mini-game tasks are designed to be frolicking good fun.

There will be a winter market with special clothes and items for avatars to buy, including what looks like a fetching duffel coat, satchel, hat and glove combo - judging by the screenshot on the European PlayStation blog.

A photo elf will even chuck-in a free festive border should you be snapped by him.

This man will greet your children with a smile.
