Christmas and Winter Blog Templates

This post is all about how you can give your blog a little Christmas (or "holiday") spirit. Several designers offer free Christmas blog templates (which you install yourself). A few others make custom premade templates that are for sell for a small fee. Some premades include installation and some don't, so be sure to check before purchasing if that is important to you.

I put a LOT of time into this post, believe it or not, so if you find it helpful, please feed me with some comments! (Just kidding, but not really).

Free Templates:



Lena at Simply Fabulous Blogger Templates has once again outdone herself. She has created several gorgeous winter and Christmas templates and all for free!





Louise at Adori Graphics has a few free holiday templates that are so cute and festive, and she has two holiday Twitter backgrounds she offers free also.





Almost Ready Blogs
Dawn at Almost Ready Blogs has three adorable holiday templates that she provides free. While you're there check out her neat Advent wreath.





Amy Bayliss at Split Decisionz has a cute Christmas Blogger template available free.





Template Mama has an incredible amount of free holiday templates, some cute and some sophisticated, definitely something for everyone.





Butterflygirlms Blog Designs has several templates available, some Christmas and some winter, all fantastic! 



Premade Templates for Sale:




Photobucket
Erin, Amy and Lauren at Designer Blogs offer gorgeous premade holiday templates, which include installation. I was up late one night last week and decided to buy a holiday template for my personal blog, Moving Forward. The template was installed less than 30 minutes later!




April at April Showers offers premade Christmas templates OR she can give your current template a few festive changes, which I think is SO cool!





Photobucket

Emily Joy at Rainy Day Blog Design has a few holiday premades available. They are really cute and include a lot of extras.


 LeeLou Blog Designs has several holiday premade layouts that will satisfy the inner-scrapper in you!

Custom Design Special:




Sneaky Momma Blog Design
Blogs by Sneaky Momma is running a special called "seasonal mini-makeovers." For just $12 you pick a special background, she makes a special header for you, installs the new template and then reinstalls your old one when the holidays are past. Seriously, this is an amazing deal!!
