To celebrate the holiday season, Farms.com is bringing back its annual Holiday Countdown Calendar. From the first of December to Christmas day, you are invited to visit the Holiday Countdown Calendar and enjoy a different daily farm-themed and family-fun activity. Each day in December, a new activity is unlocked. From puzzles, games and videos, the Holiday Countdown Calendar is full of festive activities.


This year, all of the games are now programmed using HTML 5 and/or JavaScript (no more Flash). So they should now all work on tablets, including iPad and iPhone.   Please note that to create these games so they work on newer devices, some games may not work on old browsers though (IE 8 and lower) as those browsers do not support HTML 5.


Farms.com knows that the holiday season is a special time to spend with friends and family – that’s why we have added a new feature to the Holiday Countdown Calendar: “Send to a friend”. Now you can share the Farms.com Holiday Countdown with friends and family, near and far. Why not create a new family tradition and make visiting the Farms.com Holiday Countdown Calendar a family affair – it’s a great place to find holiday activities for those special children in your life.


Farms.com and its family of companies, AgCareers.com, Farms.com Media, PigCHAMP, Farms.com Risk Management, Ag Buyer’s Guide, Farms.com Professional Services and CareersInFood.com would like to wish you and your friends and family a very merry holiday season!
