What would they be? Or maybe there's already a mod that does it?
Mighty Boot - Santa's Boots
Pipebomb - Explosive presents.
Devastator - Industrial bauble launcher (tree ornaments)
Good ideas I heard for the other guns.
Pistol - Nerf gun
Shotgun - BB shotgun
Ripper - Triple candy-cane-tipped chaingun
RPG - explosive present launcher
Shrink Ray/Expander - Magic candy cane
Freezethrower - snowball launcher
Trip mines - Christmas crackers
Thoughts?

What if Nuclear Winter had Christmas themed weapon sprites? "Similar to Life's a Beach"

I'm not particularly a fan of themed weapons like in Caribbean and the later Saint's Row game DLCs, but if I had to change NW's weapons to themed ones, "just 'cause", I guess I would pick:
Mighty Boot -> Santa's Boots (indeed)
Pistol -> Nerfgun
Shotgun -> BB rifle
Ripper -> Triple candy-cane-tipped chaingun
RPG -> Explosive present launcher (note: explosives would drop confetti)
Pipebomb -> Explosive presents (same effect as RPG)
Shrink/expander ray -> Santa's magic cane
Devastator -> Industrial "Present" launcher
Freezethrower -> Grinch's Delight, the... magic... stick?
Tripmines -> Attacheable naughty boy's list.

Good ideas. Not worth the effort of actually doing, but good ideas nonetheless. I feel like the expander should be something that stuffs enemies with food until they pop. Maybe it shows Duke holding a tray of Christmas cookies, when you fire it his hand does a throwing animation and the expander impacts are cookies hitting.

That's a funnier alternative, without a doubt.

I think that would be more fitting for the Freezethrower.

I had this in mind at the time.

The freezethrower could throw snowballs and when someone was hit with 5 or 6 of them, they would turn into a snowman version of the monster (instead of covered in ice as they do now). So the Pig Cop would be a vaguely pig-cop-shaped snowman with a carrot nose, coal eyes, a scarf, etc. Duke would mighty-boot them and they would turn into a cloud of snow with a 'Fushhh' sound effect, rather than the ice and breaking glass effect we have now.
The shrinker would turn people into tiny little elves. Where upon Duke would stomp the life out of them.
We have something in England called a 'Christmas Cracker'
vis:
It's like a cardboard tube that you have you and a friend pull on. It makes a snapping noise as it breaks and you get a toy in it. (sort of like Crackerjack, but without the popcorn!)
I think the pipebomb would work great for them.
The rocket launcher could be a harpoon gun that shoots a giant candy cane that impales your enemies.
The Devastator could shoot loads of icicles, cutting your enemy to pieces.

The thing I like about Caribbean Life's weapons is that they tried to make sense out of them. For instance the "water" based pistols actually shoot some kind of poisoned water.

I remember being banned from going near crackers when I was a kid... The exploding card strip (the snap) is a source of potential fun and they were easy to remove. Even easier when your family insists on making their own crackers out of bog rolls and wrapping paper because there were just bags of them lying around. I remember me and some kid from over the road trying to set carpets on fire with them, daring each other to hold the exploding bit while the other pulled the snap as well as sneaking up on his sister and snapping the snap by her ear. Pretty irresponsible looking back. Whatever that stuff is, it flashes quite bright as we kept getting arc-eyes from it.
The ban did no good as we just moved on to paper roll caps after that and started hiding them in ovens and toasters and shit. Ah, I miss those days.
