A quick look at Santa's Gift Run in action.
What Santa's Gift Run is
It's Christmas Eve and Santa's running late, so he's strapped on a jetpack. Santa's Gift Run is an endless flying game: hold to climb, let go to glide, and sweep up wrapped gifts drifting across the night sky over the rooftops.
There's no level to finish and no health bar. One touch from a toy soldier or a snowman ends the run, and Santa's jetpack has its own energy bar that drains as he flies — every second is a small decision: chase the next gift, or peel off for an energy orb.
It's an easy drop-in for a company Christmas party, an employee engagement campaign or a client-facing holiday email — a corporate Christmas game that runs right in the browser, with no app and no install.
Why Santa's Gift Run works as a Christmas activation
It's built on the same push-your-luck mechanics that make endless flyers addictive, tuned for a Christmas theme.
The energy bar keeps the pressure on
Santa's energy drains in about 24 seconds without a top-up, and green energy orbs only appear every 7 to 10 seconds. Players are always making a small call: chase the gift trail, or peel off for energy.
The booster rewards good flying
Fly into the candy-cane rocket and Santa boosts forward at almost double speed for 4 seconds, with no new enemies spawning — just a pure run of gifts for players who timed it right.
A leaderboard turns it into competition
Every run ends with a gift count and a spot on a ranked leaderboard, where tied scores share a rank. It's a natural way to get colleagues comparing scores over the holidays.
How to play Santa's Gift Run
-
Hold to fly
Hold the left mouse button, Space or the Up arrow on a computer, or just touch and hold on a phone or tablet. Let go and Santa glides back down.
-
Collect gifts, dodge enemies
Fly through the trails of wrapped gifts and steer around the toy soldiers and snowmen. Grab a green energy orb before the bar runs low — it flashes red and beeps under 30.
-
Chase the high score
Fly into a candy-cane rocket for a 4-second speed boost, then save your name and score to the leaderboard when the run ends.

Santa's Gift Run: your questions answered
Do employees need to download anything to play?
No. Santa's Gift Run runs right in the browser at the game link, so anyone can join from a laptop or phone with no app or install.
How long does a run take?
A run ends the moment Santa touches an enemy or his energy runs out, so most runs last a minute or two — long enough to be fun, short enough to fit into a work break or a party.
Can our logo or colors go on the game?
Yes. The jetpack flame, energy bar, boost glow and gift trail can all be re-themed to your brand colors, and your logo can sit on the loading screen and result card.
Is there a leaderboard for our team or event?
Yes. Players save their name and score at the end of a run, and the board ranks everyone highest first, with tied scores sharing a rank — a built-in leaderboard for a team or company-wide event.
