December 15, 2013 By Emily 16 Comments

 

 

I don’t know about you, but my son loves apps.  Being part of the Windows Champions Blogger Program often means he gets to help me check out all the new apps.  He’s only four so his time spent with them is limited, but I have enjoyed adding a few Windows Apps to my computer for him to play with over the holidays!  I’m especially excited to use the Where’s Santa?: NORAD tracker app to get K excited about Santa’s visit, and more importantly get him to bed on time!

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! Here is just a snapshot of some great Windows apps you can download on your tablet or PC, just in time for the holidays.

Check out these 4 great Holiday Apps from Windows available for download now!

  • 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.
