Google has proven in the last couple of years it's very serious when it comes to tracking Santa, and this year is no exception.

Besides letting you track Santa's whereabouts on an interactive map, Google has launched a couple of new games to keep you entertained while you await the holiday dinner. The games include a sleigh ride with Rudolph and Santa, a rocket-powered present pick-up race, and a simple game of dropping presents into chimneys.

You can also send holiday greetings to your friends and family via an interactive chat.

All these and more are located in the Santa Tracker village, a huge (even for Google's standards) virtual playground with a ton of interactive content. Google also has a holiday Doodle on its Search homepage, but this year it's just a simple image reminding us the holidays are upon us.
