Best Christmas Android app for tracking Santa
Google Santa Tracker
Price: Free to download
In-app purchases: No
Android version: 5.0+
If you’re looking for a great Santa-tracking application, look no further. Google’s Santa Tracker app is the best one around, at least in our humble opinion, and it just got updated for 2019. This app is getting better and better as years go by, and reviews on the Play Store definitely back that up. At this point, it’s not a simple Santa-tracking app, not at all. The Google Santa Tracker app includes various games, and additional content that you may be interested in.
Google’s eye-catching, cartoonish design is a great fit for this app. Everything looks fun and upbeat in this app, and it’s a joy to use. The also works really well, we haven’t encountered any issues with its performance in the short period we’ve been using it. The same has been the case last year as well, and that’s always great to know. Now, as we’ve said already, this app comes with various games that you can take part in.
You can play games with elves in jetpacks, or ride on sleighs powered by rockets. You can even design your own elf in this application, if you want. When December 24th comes knockin’, you’ll be able to see Santa and the reindeer delivering presents in their journey all over the world. Google did its best to offer content in this app even before December 24, so feel free to install it and see what’s on offer.

What better way of decorating your smartphone than applying a wallpaper. Even better, how about applying an animated wallpaper? Well, luckily for you, there are several really good Christmas live wallpaper Android apps in the Play Store. We’ve tried them out, and selected our favorite one. This may not be the most popular Christmas live wallpaper app in the Play Store, but it sure is one of the best ones.
Its Google Play Store rating is through the roof, and for a good reason. This app is currently holding a 4.9-star rating in the Play Store, and we encountered no issues while using it. The app does exactly what it’s meant to do, show a beautiful animated wallpaper on your phone’s background, while giving you some extra options if you’d like to tweak it. There is only one scene available via this app, but you can tweak that scene to your liking.
If you check out the image above, you’ll see what it’s all about. You’ll get a beautiful winter landscape on your background, with a tree that is full of Christmas lights. This live wallpaper comes with traditional Christmas music, and a small city in the background. You can tweak the snowfall intensity, snowflake speed, and snow direction. On top of that, you can take control of those Christmas lights as well, and the presence of fireworks. This is one of the prettiest Christmas landscapes we’ve seen, in general, and the fact it’s animated is only a huge plus.

You can preview ringtones in this app, and if you like some of them, you can download them to your phone and set them as your ringtone.
There are various songs available here, including Carol of the Bells, Drummer Boy, Joy to the world, O Holy Night, Deck the Halls, Christmas Tree, Dreaming of a white Christmas, and many, many more. New ringtones are still being added in this app, even though there are hundreds available already. The app is completely free, but it does come with ads, so keep that in mind.

Buying presents for Christmas is an essential part of the holiday. Many of you are probably planning to buy them for your loved ones, some more, some less. In any case, planning those purchases may cause headaches for some, as not everyone likes shopping. Well, the Christmas Gift List app may make things a lot easier for you. This app’s name is kind of self-explanatory, it’s supposed to help you organize your Christmas gift ideas and shopping in general.
So, you can create separate lists for separate people, and attach Christmasy avatars to them. For example, you can create an entry for your dad with the Santa avatar that is provided by the app, and an entry for your brother with the snowman avatar. In each of those entries, you can enter gift ideas, no matter how many ideas you have. In addition to that, you can list prices for those gifts as well, so that you have a nice outlook of what you’re looking to spend on each person.
You can even include pictures of specific gifts if you want, and then mark which gifts you bought already. The app has support for multiple currencies and languages, while you can even set your Christmas shopping budget, just to make sure you don’t cross it. This app looks really nice. It’s simple and elegant, and a great choice for Christmas gift-planning, that’s for sure.

Christmas Radio
Price: Free to download
In-app purchases: No
Android version: 4.1+
Many of you still like to listen to the radio, and what better way to get into the Christmas spirit, than to listen to Christmas-y content. Well, there is an app in the Play Store called „Christmas Radio”, and it allows you to stream online Christmas radio stations. There are a number of stations included on the list, like, for example: 181.FM – Christmas Mix, Xmas in Frisko: SomaFM, The Christmas Lounge, Christmas Rocks!, and many more.
This radio will be able to provide you with the sound even if you’re not in the app. You can continue using your phone while this app is running in the background, without a problem. You can even turn off the display, and the app will continue streaming, but be aware, your phone may kill it in the background. Streaming online content is usually more battery-heavy than your phone would have liked, so it has a tendency to kill such apps, in which case the streaming will stop.
You can take steps to prevent this, of course. You can lock this app in the background, in one way or the other. It all depends on what phone you have, and what software is installed on it. In any case, this app looks very nice, it’s really easy to use, and it’s free to use. Do note that ads are a part of the experience, though.
