New Delhi: After Barrel Roll easter egg, Google has now come up with another pleasant surprise. Stop whatever you are doing and and go to the Google homepage. Type in the words "Let it snow" in the search box and Google will surprise you.
As you type, you will find snowflakes falling in your browser. Snowflakes will fall from the top of your screen and slowly cover Google’s search results.
Let it snow for a few seconds and you will find your browser filing up with snow. Once your browser turns into a frozen lake, you can skate around with your mouse. In other words, you can click and move your mouse to manually brush off some of the accumulated snowflakes.
It's a week before Christmas and Google are trying to get us all into the festive spirit.
On Saturday the web giant rolled out its latest joke which had a very seasonal nature.
If you typed in the words 'Let it snow,' snow flakes started gently falling from the top of the screen.

Evenutally the whole screen was covered in snow, the Huffington Post reports.
But before the searcher collapsed in exasperation at another computer problem the cursor would wipe away the snow, before adding 'Bye :)' in the bottom right hand corner.
There was even a 'Defrost' button instead of blue 'Search' button.
When the joke was taken down, it could be still be played by searching for 'let it snow easter egg.'
An easter egg is an intentional hidden message or an in-joke inserted into a computer programme or web page.
Last month it came up with 'do a barrell roll.'
When you typed in those wounds the screen rotated and flipped over like a fighter pilot doing a barrel roll.
