You can find an iPhone app for nearly everything on iTunes, including iPhone Christmas apps. The library is vast and your options are limitless. If you are an app fiend, like me, then you are always downloading and trying new apps. Especially the free ones! ☺ Below are seven fun iPhone Christmas apps to help you start (or increase) your own collection of Christmas themed iPhone apps.
Toca Salon Christmas Gift is a silly game that lets you style Santa’s hair in a variety of ways. This game is one of many iPhone Christmas apps that are great for killing time and keeping the kids busy. In Toca Salon Christmas Gift you can give Santa a blue Mohawk or shave his beard. You can even dress up a Christmas tree and add fun decorations. Take a photo and send to friends or save them to your camera roll. The Toca brand games are fun and this one is no exception.

The Xmas Music app has loads of music from around the world. Open this app and you will encounter many familiar holiday song titles and plenty more that you have likely never heard of before downloading this app. Doesn’t that sound fun! I love listening to different music from around the world. It is always interesting to see how a holiday theme plays out in song across different countries and cultures. Song types range from instrumentals to a-capella. Find a song you know and sing along to the music or find a new title to enjoy. The variety is fun and festive!

If you need a little more pressure to finish up your Christmas gift shopping this app is here to help. Christmas Badge Countdown displays an image on the app cover art with a number indicating the total number of days remaining until Christmas. Opening the app gives you a full calendar and clock countdown combination that is precise down to the second – if you need that much detail. In the app you can listen to a few holiday songs. You can also practice playing them on the tiny instructional piano within the app.

Christmas List is a practical app that is great for making lists and keeping track of things to do. This app is similar to other list making apps you may already have. The app is free and easy to use. There is an in-app function that allows you to email a copy of your list or set the list image as your wallpaper.
Cost: Free
In the iTree Christmas Tree app you can decorate your tree and save photos of it to use as wallpaper. The background scenery changes to include snow and night sky. It also changes to indicate a different location like a living room. The app is interactive – shake the phone while the snow is falling and you have a virtual snow globe. Don’t shake too hard or quickly! This is a cute app that you may want to keep on your iPhone all year. When Christmas day passes the lights disappear, the tree disappears and by February a new tree sapling appears. Watch as the sapling grows throughout the year, becoming a full sized tree by December.
Cost: .99cents
Each year on Christmas Eve a local television station has a segment that discusses Santa’s whereabouts and attempts to track his movement and progress. There is even a website dedicated to this particular purpose! The Santa Tracker iPhone app does this and much more! Use this app to track Santa’s progress via GPS and global imaging. You can also read Santa’s daily updates and text messages. There are even jokes from the snowman, a craft section, and recipe section from Mrs. Claus.
Cost: .99cents
