Jingle Drop · A Christmas game

Every chimney
is waiting.

Fly Santa's sleigh over a snowy village, drop gifts down the chimneys and dodge the shooting stars. Made for everyone from 3 to 99.

Coming soon to Android · free, no ads

Santa's sleigh and two reindeer flying over a snowy village at night. A chimney just ahead glows, showing that a gift dropped now will land in it.

How to play

One thumb flies. The other drops.

Drag on the left side of the screen to fly up and down, and tap the right side to drop a gift. When a chimney glows, a gift dropped right now lands in it, so even the youngest players know when to tap.

The full how-to

  • Build a streak

    Every gift down a chimney scores. Land them in a row and your multiplier climbs, up to ×5. Miss, and the gift just bounces off the roof: the streak starts again and nothing else is lost.

    A gift lands in a chimney with a sparkle and a points popup, and the streak badge at the top of the screen shows the multiplier.

  • Watch out for shooting stars

    A twinkle at the edge of the screen warns you before each star flies in. Santa has three lanterns, and after a bump the team blinks safely for a moment. The first seconds of every run are star-free, and the village speeds up gently the longer you fly.

    A shooting star crosses the night sky toward the sleigh, with three lit lanterns at the top of the screen.

  • Beat your best

    Your ten best runs are kept on your phone, with the gifts you delivered and your best streak. Make the top ten and the game tells you which place you took.

    The game-over panel: a rank badge for a new top-ten place, the score, the best score, the gifts delivered and the best streak, with Retry and Menu buttons.

For everyone

Made for little hands too.

  • A glow tells you when

    The chimney a gift would land in glows just before the right moment, so aiming is "it shines, tap!" rather than guesswork.

  • Gentle when you miss

    A missed gift bounces off the roof without a sound. No buzzers, no scary moments: calm Christmas piano plays throughout.

  • Never lost by accident

    The back button pauses the game, and so does a phone call or switching apps. Tap Resume and carry on.

  • Plays anywhere

    In the car, on a plane, with or without Wi-Fi: the game never needs the internet.

No ads. No internet. No account.

Jingle Drop makes no network connections at all — it doesn't even ask for permission to. No analytics, no sign-in, no in-app purchases, and nothing to hand over: it collects no data from anyone, children included. Your high scores live on your phone.

Which also means there is nothing I can restore for you. Uninstall without a backup and your high scores go with it.
