SQUAWK! Those loveable Angry Birds and the pesky pigs are celebrating the season with fantastic new levels for Chrome! Angry Birds fans can enjoy 25 levels of Winter Wonderland fun, as well as a special advent challenge on December 5th, courtesy of Samsung and Rovio.

Upon playing the December 5th level of the Chrome holiday game, fans will be invited into a new microsite experience. They can check out the Angry Birds advent challenge, participate in a competition to win Samsung Galaxy mobile devices, watch a funny new video, and send Angry Birds themed holiday e-cards.

“The holiday season is all about giving back and giving thanks, and this year we wanted to thank our millions of fans by giving them some great Angry Birds experiences,” said Peter Vesterbacka, CMO and Mighty Eagle of Rovio. “Not only are they receiving 25 new levels in our Advent game, but they’re also getting a chance to win the best Samsung products around and participate in a fun advent challenge.”

Samsung has had a brilliant year and our Galaxy devices are popular all over the world, so to be able to launch a holiday experience inside the most popular mobile game in the world, is awesome!” said YH Lee, SVP of Global Marketing at Samsung Mobile Communications Business. “To all those Angry Birds fans out there: enjoy yourselves and check out the Galaxy Note for an even better mobile gaming experience!”
