Google Santa Tracker is back again with a new village design, tons of new games

It’s that time of year again. Christmas is just around the corner, and in anticipation of the holiday season, Google’s Santa Tracker is back. With it comes new games, a new design, and much more.

Perhaps the biggest news this year is the most obvious one — the new design for Santa’s Village. The village got a big makeover in 2019, including a new greenhouse, a reindeer gym, and a new toy factory.

There are also lots of new games and activities too, including a new 3D snowbox where you can build your own winter scene. Of course, some of our favorite activities return this year like the elf maker and snowball fights, but now there are more activities for the whole family to choose from.

Also, since Google Assistant’s integration two years ago, you can ask Google for daily reports of what’s going on in Santa’s Village by saying “Hey Google, what’s new at the North Pole?” You can also catch daily North Pole news reports like the Reindeer Report and Good Sleigh Today on Google’s social channels.

As Christmas draws near, more activities will unlock, but we won’t find out what those are until the time comes. And once December 23 rolls around, you will be to track Santa’s every move as he travels around the globe. Until then, you can download the Google Santa Tracker app or check out Santa’s Village online at the links below.
