“Stalk” Santa with Google’s Santa Tracker feature and app

As December 25 draws nearer, chances are your children are pretty much excited for when Santa will finally come down the chimney and deliver their Christmas gifts (wink, wink). To stop yourself from going crazy answering how many days it is until Christmas, Google has once again come up with a Santa Tracker, to keep kids occupied until D Day with games, features and even programming lessons as well.



Aside from the tracker, the page also has a calendar where you can see when the features will arrive. They'll get games (Play), videos (Watch) and "lessons" (Learn). Don't worry, the lessons part is actually pretty neat, with the first one being trivia about how other children in other countries celebrate Christmas. And later on this month, there will be lessons for kids (and maybe for you who don't know anything about it) on how to use Javascript and other basic programming info.


So far, aside from the lessons, you have a Rudolph racing game and a video showing people becoming elves when passing through airport security checkpoint. Plus, if your kids access the internet more through mobile, there's also now a Google Santa Tracker app. There's also a way for you to send voice messages for your kids, like reminding them to be nice not naughty or to tell them how much you love them (aaawww).


While this Google Christmas treat is designed for kids, of course this will not stop us from enjoying these games, videos and lessons even though we know that Santa is.....coming to town soon (this post is spoiler free, don't worry). So download the app from the Google Play Store or go and visit the site daily.
