I know, I know. You read the title and thought “hey, it’s not even Halloween yet, why should I care about Christmas and Holiday graphics?”

I agree, that seeing the Christmas décor appear in stores right on November 1 is a bit overwhelming. But on the other hand, you can never get ready enough for your Holiday marketing campaign.

The following files and tools will help you solve your last-minute marketing and design tasks.

WHAT STYLE TO CHOOSE?

When it comes to Christmas and the holiday season, we all see reds, golds and pine greens. But this is just one of the many styles you can define for your brand’s holiday campaign. Personally, I like a rustic, neutral look more than the classics.

What matters is that the style you choose must work well with your brand. There’s no need to use all the fancy fonts to spear a joyful feel. Keep your fonts and add only 1 special holiday font for some extra detail.
