Christmas is coming and the digital marketing industry is getting into the Christmas spirit (thanks to all the cherry brandy liqueurs), so here’s what every geek wants in their stocking…

Elf Yourself is back for Christmas 2009 and now it connects with Facebook to save you some of the pain of finding photos. They’ve also added new tools to better fit faces to elves and even more dance and music styles.

Ogilvy have created (possibly) the first ever agency Christmas iPhone app (slightly less imaginatively) called White Xmas (iTunes store link). With the tag line “it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas”, the app allows you to snap a photo which it then sprinkles with computer-generated snow. A neat idea, wonderfully atmospheric and pretty innovative.

AIS have been warming their vocal chords with a Christmas sing-along. Choose a song and control the good people of AIS while they sing it for you! The controls are a little hard to get a hang of but those with nimble fingers will be able to produce a good tune.

Elfquilibrium is an addictive little Christmas game. Guide Santa along a precarious rooftop by helping him balance out his somewhat drunken gait. But keep on your toes, you’ve got to deliver presents down all the chimneys, too.

YouTube are running a YouTube Carolling competition in the US this year. People can record their rendition of a choice of 4 carols (2 traditional, 2 original) and upload their video. There are $100 gift cards for 15 runners-up and the overall winner gets the $5,000 grand prize! There are some frankly ridiculous entries so far, this being my favourite by far.

What’s your favourite bit of seasonal digital?
Merry Christmas!
