    From now until December 28, when you purchase a Windows touch PC under 14”, you’ll get a free $25 gift card to purchase apps from the Windows Store!

    What kind of apps would you purchase? There are some really fun apps that are perfect for entertaining the kids and creating wonderful holiday memories together!

    Where’s Santa?: NORAD Tracks Santa on Windows 8.1 is ready to begin the countdown on December 24th! Track Santa in real time as he travels the world delivering gifts. See where’s he’s been and where he’s headed next. Learn more about how and why NORAD tracks Santa, watch videos about the journey, play games, and hear special holiday greetings.

    Interactive Education: Get your kids out of their seats and enhance their learning and education with Sesame Street Touch & Learn TV. This TV viewing and interactive experience is an extension of the Kinect version, available exclusively on Windows. Kids can search for a variety of hidden objects in the eight 20 minute episodes for a more touch centric experience.

    Create: Morph and manipulate your pictures into funny photos with Crayola Photo Mix & Mash on your Windows tablet or PC and Windows Phone 8. And from now until the new year, Windows Store and Windows Phone store users will get an exclusive coupon for the Mix and Mash toolset!

    Holiday Cards: It’s not too late to get your holiday cards out in the mail! Create a personalized getting card from your Windows 8 tablet or PC and send directly to the mailbox with Hallmark Go Cards. Add a photo from your camera roll or snap one while using the app. Access the Message Library for inspiration and ideas, add your signature and save your favorite cards to rework and send again.

    And guess what? I have some pretty exciting news! Everyone's favorite app, Instagram is now available on Windows phones, along with Waze and Vine! Yay!

    *The $25 Windows Store gift card promotion is available at many retailers across the United States including Amazon.com, Best Buy, Fry’s Electronics, Staples, Newegg.com, Office Depot, OfficeMax, Sam’s Club, Wal-Mart.com, and the Microsoft Store.

      I am so excited to check out the Hallmark Go Cards app. This is perfect for the holiday cards I have yet to make.

      I would love to try the card store app. That would be fun to make my own cards!!

      I'm so excited Windows 8 now has Instagram! The cards app sounds really cool, I haven't done mine yet this year, so behind!

      We track santa every year. It would be convenient to do it right from my phone!

      I always enjoy tracking Santa with Norad. That's been around for a long time, I think, but not in app form.

      December 12, 2013 at 12:13 am

      We love tracking Santa through Norad! I have a MAC, but my husband recently got a Windows 8 touch screen...it is very cool! I was actually thinking of buying one since the kids are getting older and always want to use the computer. They can never use mine since I'm always on it! lol I will definitely keep that in mind about purchasing before 12/28!

      I love Holiday apps. Especially holiday card apps. I love the holidays. So much fun. And my daughter totally enjoys the apps.

    23. Liza

      December 14, 2013 at 9:39 pm

      We'll definitely be downloading the NORAD Santa-tracker this year. Maybe if my daughter thinks Santa is on the way, she might actually go to bed before midnight for once!
