Pegman will bear the brunt of Google Maps' holiday spirit this Christmas. Yes, that little orange guy that you can drag into maps to enter Street View is getting a Santa hat tomorrow.

While Google's home page has been having all sorts of seasonal fun since 1998, before Pegman came along two years ago, Google Maps' halls were a bit harder to deck.

The drag-and-drop icon has become something of a mascot for the site. During past winter holiday seasons, he's dressed up as a snowman. He’s also gotten costume changes in support of gay pride in San Francisco, ridden a bike in the Tour de France and been dressed as a hippie, a witch and Uncle Sam.
