Super Mario Run gets minor holiday-themed update with a handful of Christmas decorations

Nintendo today released the first update for Super Mario Run, and it isn't rolling out via the App Store, but in-game. The update doesn't bring any significant game content additions, but it's still a fun holiday-themed distraction for the latest mobile game sensation.

The update is available through Super Mario Run directly and brings a handful of Christmas decorations that you can use to make your corner of the Mushroom Kingdom look more festive. There are three time-limited items included with the update – a Mario Snow Globe and a Christmas Tree, both of which are huge and play the role of a centerpiece for your Kingdom, and a poinsettia flower pot that you can place anywhere on the grass. The snow inside the globe will flutter around if you touch it, while the Christmas tree simply lights up.
