We start with a beautiful illustration of a Christmas tree full of colorful lights in the middle of the snow. We love how the sunset colors on the sky intertwine with the ones in the Christmas tree, and we believe it’s a great choice for any smartphone or tablet screen.

5. Miniature Santa Claus snow globe

On a lighter tone (literally), here’s a wallpaper with a miniature Santa Claus whose head is stuck in a snow globe. 🙂 If you think about it, it’s kinda odd… is he an astronaut, or a diver maybe? Still, we think it’s cute and interesting. Do you agree?

8. Santa’s little helper

While we believe you shouldn’t surprise someone by giving them a pet (unless your kid has been begging for a puppy since summer too 😉 ), there’s no harm in dressing up your pet to look like a Christmas gift. Right?

10. Gingerbread for Christmas

Gingerbread tastes better in front of the Christmas tree, accompanied by a cup of warm milk. Or maybe it’s hot chocolate? Ah, either way, we can’t wait.

11. Minimalistic dark-themed Christmas wallpaper

Yes, we like minimalistic Christmas wallpapers. We think that the simpler the image, the less cluttered it feels when looking at the Home screen. With multi-colored icons, all sorts of buttons and widgets, you don’t want a busy background image. Here’s a wallpaper that complements the dark mode on your Android phone or your iPhone.

16. Cats + Christmas tree = love

You know it’s just a matter of time. If you have cats, they WILL be hypnotized by the shiny baubles and lights and they WILL try to play with the decorations. So make sure your tree is properly secured for a maximum of Christmas joy.

18. The puzzling snowman

We have so many questions about this image. Why would the poor snowman be dressed in thick, warm clothes? Isn’t heat the enemy of snowmen? Also, why is he smiling? He’s melting in there! Anyway, the picture is nice and also managed to put a smile on our faces.
