Around the 19th of December, the VLC media player for Windows will show a Christmas hat along with the iconic 'Cone' logo.
Using the Systray option will also show the Christmas icon in the tray area too. Found with VCL version 0.9.8a.

Yeah, it is really cute. When I noticed the Christmas hat on the screen, it made me smile :) Thanks, the VLC dev. team and Merry Christmas to you all. yimai - Dec 20 2008 3:45AM

For being such an Easter Egg this was well in plain sight. Still pretty nice of the VLC dev. team! [E] eddie thieda - Dec 19 2008 2:39PM
