New Year Icons

Last Updated on August 6, 2026 by Editorial Team

A free icon pack with 12 lovely icons for the New Year. The icons are available in two formats (.SVG and .PNG) and two styles (color icons and line icons).

Icons list: Christmas globe (tree ornament), candle, tree, mitten, candy, deer, bell, snowman, gift box, Santa Claus, snowflake, Christmas sock.

Designed by Andrey Stelya for Reinvently.

What makes this New Year icon set so usable is the consistency of its construction. Every icon shares the same bold, slightly rounded outline, the same offset drop shadow sitting just behind each shape, and a bright, candy-like color palette that includes magenta, teal, mustard yellow, periwinkle blue, and warm red.

That shadow detail is a small thing, but it gives the whole set a friendly, almost sticker-like dimensionality without tipping into heavy skeuomorphism.

Nothing here feels like a generic holiday clipart pack. The reindeer is shown as a simple cropped face with antlers rather than a full-body illustration, the snowman wears a top hat tilted at a jaunty angle, and Santa is reduced to just his face, beard, and cap, which keeps every icon readable at small sizes.

This kind of restraint is exactly what you want in an icon set meant for interfaces, not just decoration.

Because the pack includes both a color version and a line-only version, you get real flexibility for how it gets used. The color icons work well anywhere you want the holiday mood to be immediate and festive: seasonal banners, app splash screens, email headers, or a countdown page for a holiday sale.

The line variant is the one to reach for when you need something quieter, like inline bullet markers in a newsletter, small badges next to menu items, or accents in a document where full color would compete with your brand palette.

Practical Uses For A New Year Icon Set

This set fits naturally into seasonal marketing work: think Christmas sale landing pages, gift guides, holiday email campaigns, and social media posts announcing end-of-year promotions.

UI and product designers can use these icons for holiday-themed app features, like a limited-time badge system, a seasonal onboarding flow, or a festive skin applied to an existing dashboard.

They also work well in print, since the flat shapes and thick outlines hold up at greeting-card size or as small stickers on packaging and gift tags.

A few icons in particular carry their own personality and can act as standalone illustrations rather than just supporting graphics. The Santa face, the snowman, and the ornament all have enough character to headline a design on their own, while pieces like the bell, mitten, and candy cane are better suited as secondary accents scattered around a layout.

If you are building a full holiday page, mixing a hero icon like Santa or the tree with smaller supporting icons like the snowflake or sock creates a natural visual hierarchy.

Editing these icons is straightforward since the shapes are simple and geometric. If you want to match a specific brand palette, recolor the fills first and then adjust the outline color separately.

Because the black outline is doing most of the work to define each shape, keeping it dark even when you change the fill colors will preserve the graphic, illustrative quality of the set.

If you drop the drop shadows or thin out the stroke weight, the icons start to feel flatter and more corporate, which can be useful if you are pairing them with a minimal sans-serif typeface and want the holiday reference to feel understated rather than loud.

Pairing-wise, these icons sit comfortably alongside rounded, friendly typefaces and soft background colors like the pale blue seen in the preview.

They also pair well with other flat, outlined icon sets as long as the stroke weight and corner radius are similar, so if you need additional symbols beyond the twelve included here, look for line-and-color icon packs with a matching visual weight to keep the whole set feeling unified.
