I added some hints for the various puzzles, saved everything, tested it, then discovered they got somehow deleted by itch.io (I'll add them back soon, so if you're looking for hints, come back in a day or two).

I loved the x's, thank you!
still working on 2 :(
stuck in 1 and 6, some hints?
I assume you’ve noticed the where the symbol for 1 also appears.
Gentle Hint for 1
How many turrets are there on the castle? Bear in mind that some a covered up by the banners.
Aggressive Hint for 1
26. All the remaining clues are found on the castle.
I think 6 took me the longest to get, so I don’t blame you for asking for hints!
Gentle Hint for 6
You should have noticed that there are no X’s on the map.
Aggressive Hint for 6
Where can you put X’s?
Nice variety between all the puzzles - I think the trees took me the longest to work out, or maybe the castle. Really fun!
I enjoyed this one! I don’t see a lot of this sort of thing in the Calendar.
I only figured out how to solve the 2nd one after I had brute forced it. Overall very fun. Nice puzzle!
I couldn't understand the 6th on until i hovered my mouse over the words I'd already submitted. Nice puzzle!
I can't find the words of park and x... My brain hurst! :-P
OK, I found the all the words! Nice puzzle! 🎅🎄🎁
Some hints:
Got everything but 3 and 6, wrestled with them for a while, before giving up and looking for help in the comments.
One at a time, my reaction to both of those hints was "but I'm already trying to do that!", for about half a second each, before I suddenly knew the exact thing I was doing wrong. I don't know if that means your hints were too good or exactly perfect, lol.
I like! But there are no other comments here so I can get clues, cos I is stuck halfway!! Grrr lol
Somehow I doubt there's a playthrough on youtube right now lol. Am gonna have to give up. You got me. I had about half of them, the rest, just too cryptic for me.
Read my comment above for a little help :)
