Wannabe carollers can pick from 'Jingle Bells,' 'Up on the House Top,' 'Deck the Halls,' 'O Christmas Tree' and 'We Wish You a Merry Christmas.'

Click on one of the titles and the backing music will start and the lyrics will appear on-screen, in time with the music. The song can be skipped forward and backwards and paused too, for added control.

Also in keeping with tradition, Google's latest Easter Egg will not work on Windows Phones. Bah Humbug.
