Cut the Rope gets free Christmas levels

Anything Angry Birds can do...

Horribly addictive iOS time-waster Cut the Rope has just received a free festive level pack.

The so-called Cut the Rope Holiday Gift is available on the App Store now and adds 25 new levels, some fresh Achievements and a new gameplay element too, which sees you teleporting candy around the levels via a magical stocking.

Its EA-owned publisher, Chillingo, recently announced that the game had been downloaded more than three million times.

And those sales are well-deserved - Eurogamer's Kristan Reed awarded it 9/10 last month.
