What to read if you need a bit of peace today

Happy Christmas everyone! We hope you’re having a good one, but at some point the traditional festive fatigue is bound to set in. When that happens, the best thing to do is find a quiet corner and curl up with your iPhone or iPad.

We’ve been posting a fair few festive articles recently, many of which suggest ways technology can improve the holidays, or the best apps to help you pass the time. In case you’ve missed any of our recent output, here’s a recap of everything relevant to Christmas Day cheer.

Christmas apps

First of all, make sure you’ve read our recommendations of the best apps for Christmas Day. It might be too late to fix a burnt turkey, but there are plenty more great apps in the roundup to keep things running as smoothly as possible through the evening and beyond.

We also posted a list of the best apps for Christmas planning, many of which are still relevant today – especially if you still have travel or cooking to do.

Things to read

Earlier this week we posted a roundup of our most popular articles of the year. You’re bound to find something there to pique your interest, ensuring you haven’t missed anything important from us these past twelve months.

If you’re looking to hunker down with something more involved, see our Reading Toolkit [Premium] to see all the ways an iPhone can help bookworms make the most of their hobby.

Pass the time

Like to dig into a good thinker at Christmas? Unloop was one of our favorite new puzzle games of the year, while we also compiled a list of all-time great puzzle games for iOS. Oh, and if you prefer something even more cerebral, make sure you choose the right crossword app.

Beyond that, you could check out Apple’s winners of this year’s App Store Awards for more recommendations. And stand by for more – a week from now we’ll be revealing our own Tapsmart App Award winners for 2023!
