Yes, it's already that time of year. Whether you love or hate Christmas, a small Christmas CSS animation can bring a big smile to your website visitors.

CSS Snowflakes!

Let's start out with snowflakes. Decorate your webpage with animated snowflakes. Easy to add, delightful to look at.

Snow Globes

Can you make a snow globe with pure CSS? Yes, here we have three stunning snow globes made with only CSS.

CSS Santa Claus

What would Christmas be without Santa Claus himself? The tricky thing is too choose which CSS Santa to go for!

Christmas Decorations in CSS

Why not adding some small decorative Christmas inspired CSS art? My favorite is definitely the Disney-like Christmas tree, which reasonably requires a good amount of JavaScript. If you don't want to use JavaScript, you have a quite similar mesmerizing CSS only Christmas tree animation in another link.

Interactive Christmas Animations

Here are some interactive Christmas animation. They naturally include a bit of JavaScript since they are interactive, but some manage to get away very easily with almost no JavaScript at all.

CSS Candy Canes

Wanting something sweet for Christmas? Try these CSS loading and progress bars in candy cane colors!

Other Christmas Art

Couldn't decide what CSS art to use to decorate your website with for Christmas? Here's a few more links which may come handy.
