It’s almost Halloween and with that we know that Christmas will be sitting in our laps in no time flat. And what better way to get in the Christmas spirit than with a Christmas app, wouldn’t you agree? If so, check out the following ideas, and make sure you look at the App Store for a lot more that’ll help ring in the season in full festive cheer!

  • GPS Christmas List (Free) – Using both GPS (on the iPhone 3G) as well as cell tower triangulation (on the older models), this Christmas list application will find your location and then let you know if you are close to a store where you can purchase an item on your list. For each item you can set an end time for when you need to purchase it along with a note to help you remember. You won’t be wasting gas this Christmas season by forgetting to stop at a certain store!
  • I Christmas: Christmas Carols (0.99) – With over 100 of the most popular Christmas carols this application is great for the caroler in anyone. It not only includes lyrics and background information for each song, but it can also sing along with you on 85 of the songs via the speakers in your device making it like getting two apps for one low price! Better yet, it even offers shakeable jingle bells as well as mistletoe on the go!
  • Countdown to Christmas (Free) – This countdown application does more for you than simply keep track of the time left until Christmas — with a very graphic display it also allows you to email friends and family specific times so they too can keep track of how long it is until Santa comes. On top of these cool features, the app also plays a little Christmas music while you are patiently counting down the time until the big event.
  • Christmas Memory Match (0.99) What would Christmas be without a little deviation to keep your mind sharp? This memory match game contains graphics that allows users to try and find matches on the board using their memory. Like the other apps, this one also plays seasonal bells and tunes during the game to help get you in the mood of the season.
  • Christmas Snow Globe (0.99) – This delightful application not only allows you to add more snowflakes by simply dragging your finger along the screen, it also lets you decide which way they fall using the iPhone’s accelerometer. You can choose from three different globes — one featuring a Christmas tree, another is a bunny with a carrot, and the third is a snowman. If that’s not enough, you can also use any picture on your phone to place inside the snow globe for a truly personalized Christmas experience!
