Christmas wallpaper for Windows 11

Christmas-themed wallpapers for Windows 11

It is once again the holiday season, and if you want to give your desktop a festive refresh, the Microsoft Store offers a small collection of seasonal themes with Christmas-inspired wallpapers for Windows 11 and Windows 10.

One of the highlights is the Winter Holiday Glow theme. This collection captures the warmth and charm of the Christmas spirit through cozy decorations, glowing lights, freshly baked cookies ready to be gifted, pine cones, and the classic red and green color palette. Each wallpaper reflects the small details that make the season feel special, and applying the theme is an easy way to add a subtle holiday touch to your desktop.

Another option is the Snow Sculptures theme, which focuses on the artistry of winter. This set features striking wallpapers of intricate sculptures carved from frozen water and snow. It is a great choice if you enjoy winter landscapes and want something seasonal without traditional Christmas decorations. The images highlight creativity, texture, and the quiet beauty of frozen art.

After applying a theme, you may notice that the desktop background changes more frequently than you would like. On Windows 11 and Windows 10, you can easily adjust this behavior. Open Settings, go to Personalization, select “Background,” and use the “Change picture every” option to choose how often the operating system rotates through the wallpapers. This lets you enjoy each image longer without disabling the theme.
