Santa Tracker

It wouldn't be Christmas without the odd Santa app making its way onto your mobile device. Google has unveiled its Santa Tracker, which allows kids to track the big man as he makes his journey on Christmas Eve. Until then, it provides a countdown – to the second – and a few interactive games to keep excited youngsters occupied. You can try your hand at Elf Jetpack or Gumball to pass the time.These are unlocked at different times throughout the month, stretching out the anticipation as any good Christmas app will do. The entire app has cartoon-style, child-friendly graphics, and it links up with Google's Santa Tracker website, so you can go online to see how preparations for the big day are coming. Google has also thought to include support for Chromecast, so if you have Google's TV device, you stream the whole experience to your home TV and watch in comfort. For kids of all ages. google.com/santatracker
