Not that an 8 hour, 6-player game is going to hit the table a lot in any case. Don't expect it to be something you pull out at Christmas to play with Uncle Keith and your cousins.
However, something you might want to play over Christmas with more casual gamers, especially if your holiday spirits run to beer and whiskey, is Sons of Anarchy. Like the TV show, it's about biker gangs fighting turf battles over the 'contraband' trade. It's also an absolute blast, rife with intimidation, threats, and treachery. Highly recommended.

Never played Twilight Imperium but my cousin raves about it. But we have gone over to play Game of Thrones a couple times which is similar and just an awesome game, so much fun. But yeah these games take a long time to play, which is too bad because they’re great games but you can really play only one round in an evening or day. And that game is going to take you to like 2am, which sucks when you have little kids to take care of the next morning.
