Google has unveiled its holiday Google Doodle, an animated iteration that plays “Jingle Bells” and then automatically directs you to the results for a “Happy Holidays” search.
As previously reported, a holiday Google Doodle went live early Friday in countries including New Zealand, South Korea and Japan, where it was already Dec. 24. The two versions are different, though.
In the Doodle outside the U.S., Google has replaced its traditional four-color logo with five holiday-themed objects outlined in Christmas lights: a snowflake for the “G,” a Santa Claus and a bell for each “o,” a snowman for the second “g,” a candle for the “l” and a wrapped present for the “e.” Clicking on the logo brings up a search for “Happy Holidays.”
The U.S. iteration, which went live around 3 p.m. ET, features a lit up Google logo with six multi-colored squares underneath. If you run your cursor over each square, you get treated to “Jingle Bells.” Googleemployed a completely different type of Doodle in the 2010 holiday season that turned the Google logo into an interactive holiday card with 17 holiday scenes — ranging from Santa on a rooftop to Indian classical dancers — from around the world.
