The Apple Store app is hiding a holiday Easter egg – here’s how to find it

With the year almost over, you're probably shopping for the holidays. To give this experience something extra, Apple always features an Easter egg hidden in its Apple Store app. There, if you search for “Let it snow,” there’s a lovely animation of snow falling while you browse some Apple products.

This holiday season’s Easter egg isn’t new. Still, it's a nice touch while you do some regular shopping for a bunch of iPhone 16 models, AirPods 4, and maybe some high-end M4 Max MacBook Pro in 16-inch versions, right?

While you purchase a new Apple product for yourself or to gift others, Cupertino has changed its return policy during this holiday season. According to the company, “eligible products at the Apple Store Online that are received between November 8, 2024, and December 25, 2024, may be returned through January 8, 2025."

That said, all purchases made after December 25, 2024, are subject to the Standard Return Policy. Apple also notes that iPhone purchases that are carrier-financed are not eligible and are subject to the standard return policy.

Users can purchase, during this holiday season, iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and accessories using this extended return policy. Apple notes that opened software, electronic software downloads, and Gift Cards are among the products that can’t be returned.

Apple has a long article explaining how return and refunds work, so you don’t have to worry about buying a product from others and then needing to send it back to Apple.
