Christmas Elements
Last Updated on August 13, 2026 by Editorial Team
Collection of 30+ Christmas elements in vector format (.AI and .EPS). It includes Santa, reindeer, Santa hat, gloves, gingerbread man, Christmas tree ornaments, gifts, gift sock, candy and many more.
Big thanks to Mario del Valle for creating this freebie.
What makes this set of Christmas icons stand out is the flat, mid-century color palette: a muted teal green, warm cream, and brick red carry through every single tile, so the whole grid reads as one cohesive family rather than a random pile of clipart.
The style is geometric and simplified. Circles, rounded rectangles, and clean shapes build each character, from Santa’s round belly to the snowman’s stacked body, giving the whole collection a friendly, retro poster feel rather than a cartoonish or overly literal one.
That restraint is what makes this Christmas vector pack so versatile. Because the shapes are so pared down, they hold up at tiny sizes for favicons and app icons just as well as they do blown up large on a banner or poster.
Look closely and you can see the range packed into this holiday icon set: Santa’s face and full figure, a reindeer head, mittens and gloves, a gingerbread man, a snowman, stockings, wrapped gifts, a candy cane, ornaments, holly, string lights, a bell, a cardinal, a mail envelope, a wine bottle, a phone, a tablet, a tricycle, and even a toy train running the length of one row.
There are also two little banner ribbons, one reading “Happy New Year” and another reading “Lapland,” which hint that this set was built with more than just Christmas cards in mind.
Where This Set of Christmas Graphics Works Best
These flat holiday icons suit projects that need a friendly, non-corporate seasonal touch: Christmas cards, gift tags, email newsletter headers, social media posts, advent calendars, or a holiday landing page for a small shop.
The toy train, tricycle, and gingerbread figures give it a family or kids-brand friendly tone, so it works well for children’s product packaging, holiday storefront graphics, or a seasonal blog post header.
Because several icons like the phone, tablet, and mail envelope aren’t strictly Christmas-specific, they’re handy for building out a “holiday sale” promo graphic that still needs to reference everyday objects.
- Christmas or New Year greeting cards and gift tags
- Email marketing headers and holiday newsletters
- Social media graphics, stories, and countdown posts
- Advent calendars or holiday-themed website icons
- Packaging accents for seasonal products
- Printed posters, banners, or party invitations
Editing these vector shapes is straightforward in any vector editor. Since each element is built from simple geometric forms, recoloring is mostly a matter of selecting a shape and swapping the fill, whether you want to match a specific brand palette or shift the whole set to a different seasonal mood, like icy blue and silver for a “cool winter” theme instead of the warm red and cream shown here.
Scaling is equally painless given the vector format; you can size icons down for a favicon or blow up a single figure like Santa or the snowman into a large standalone poster illustration without any loss of crispness.
If you want to build a custom scene, try isolating individual icons from the grid and grouping them into a new arrangement, say a mini Christmas mantel scene with the stocking, ornament, and candy cane, or a “sending you gifts” card using the train and wrapped presents together.
For pairing, a rounded, friendly sans serif typeface complements the soft geometric shapes better than anything too sharp or condensed.
If you’re laying these out alongside photography, keep the color grading warm and slightly muted so the flat icons don’t clash with a more realistic image; conversely, on a solid cream or teal background, these icons can carry a design entirely on their own without any photography at all.
