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.
