I'm going to assume you're talking about the upcoming HD remake, and if so well I hate to disappoint you, but you're not going to be getting it around Christmas or even on Christmas as it won't be released until Early 2015 unless they delay it. As for the price, no price has been announced, but I would assume anywhere around $9.99-$19.99.
However if my assumption is wrong and you're talking about the GameCube version, well you're not going to want it, not with the insane prices people are asking for it on eBay and Amazon unless you want to get it Used from eBay or Amazon which I would not take my chance on ($150 or more for a brand new copy from eBay and $72.50 new on Amazon, but as of right now there is only 1 brand new copy left on Amazon from what I saw. For used less than $20 on eBay and somewhere around $40-$48 used on Amazon.).
