Free Christmas Email Backgrounds & Stationery

The largest collection on the site

Christmas runs to more than five hundred designs, which is more than every other holiday combined. It splits into recognizable groups: Christmas trees, Santa, gifts, snow scenes, vintage illustrations, religious designs, and Season's Greetings layouts for recipients who do not mark the holiday itself.

Animated Christmas email backgrounds

Nearly two hundred designs in this collection animate, with falling snow, lit trees, and moving effects. They display in email clients that load images and fall back to a still frame in the ones that do not. Sort the category by Animated to browse only the moving designs.

Religious, secular, and neutral greetings

The three registers matter more at Christmas than anywhere else. Nativity and scripture-friendly designs suit a religious greeting, Santa and trees suit family and children, and Season's Greetings or winter designs suit colleagues and anyone whose tradition you are unsure of. Our sister site keeps Christmas messages across all three.

Sending Christmas email to a long list

Most Christmas greetings go to many people at once. Compose the design once, copy it, then paste it into a message addressed with BCC so nobody sees the full list. In Outlook, set the message to HTML format before pasting, or the background and inline images will be stripped out.
