It’s Time to ‘Let It Snow’ in the Apple Store App

Apple continues its tradition of holiday easter eggs in its Apple Store app. This year Apple Store app shoppers can “let it snow” in the app on their iPhone.

Apple is saluting the holiday season by hiding a cute little feature in its Apple Store app. Users can generate a snow globe-like snowstorm on their iPhone, as snowflakes will fall from the top of the screen as they shop. (I’m so old, that I remember when you actually had to go outside to see snow while you do your holiday shopping.)

To turn on the feature, type in the words “let it snow” into the search box. If entered correctly, snow will start to fall from the top of the screen.

The effect stays on screen while you continue to navigate the store’s pages. By shaking the iPhone or iPad, you will make the snow swirl around, like a snow globe.
