Heard of Portable North Pole? It’s a website (plus apps) where parents can buy personalised video messages from Santa Claus for their children.

Last year, the Portable North Pole apps were very popular for kids, and we hear another one’s coming this Christmas. But in the meantime, there’s another app to keep kids amused: PNP Santa Sprint.

It’s a game made by the same people, and gets kids to help Santa prepare for the festive season, while unlocking “video story tales” across 45 levels.

PNP Santa Sprint costs £1.99 for iPhone and iPad on Apple’s App Store. Update: the main PNP - Portable North Pole 2013 app has now been released for iPhone too.
