Google Doodle marks Christmas with a festive doodle spreading joy and cheer

In a long tradition of Holiday season doodles, it is part of a Happy Holidays 2019 series for Day 3, which has it’s reach in whole of North and South America, Australia, Europe and parts of South-East Asia.

On day two of the holiday doodles, the company featured a snow globe in their animated doodles, capturing the mood of Santa’s journey from the North Pole, showing reindeer and his sleigh.

Dashing through the snow
(Or granite, concrete, clay…)
Around the world we go
Laughing all the way!

Today’s Doodle is here
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to sing and cheer
Throughout the holidays!

And on the first day, it featured lit candles in a nod to the Jewish traditions of Hanukkah and African-american culture of Kwanzaa.

Also, to celebrate the festivals in a special way as during this time of the year search traffic increases, when one would search for “Hanukkah 2019” or just “Hanukkah” on desktop, the page will reveal a charming family scene featuring dreidels, a four-sided spinning top, played during the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah. And looking a bit closer into how it was designed, the number of lit candles on the menorah changes as the celebration continues, like people of the faith celebrating the festival would do.

Similar thing happens when searching for “Christmas” and the top right corner of the page would show a family busy in Christmas decoration, trying to put on the lights and star on the tree.

And when one searches for “Kwanzaa”, the animation changes to a family surrounding a kinara, a seven-branched candleholder used in the celebrations, with a feast on the table capturing the festive mood of the traditions.
