Google Assistant gets a jolly upgrade for the holidays

Christmas is coming, and Google Assistant is getting into the holiday spirit. Just in time for Santa's arrival, the fun-loving virtual helper has been given an injection of good tidings in the form of a few seasonal responses. Available across all instances of Google Assistant--Allo, Google Home, and the Pixel phones--the new commands will help you find Santa, have a good laugh or just get a dose of cheer. If you ask where Santa is, for example, it will tell you that he's still chilling at the North Pole. Presumably it will provide a more specific location on the night before Christmas to match the Google Santa Tracker that also springs to life that night.
