Winter Holidays Icon Set
Last Updated on August 11, 2026 by Editorial Team
A very nice and professional looking Christmas themed icon set that includes 6 icons: fir/Christmas tree, smiley with winter cap, gift, sledge, snowflake, fireworks/rocket. Big thank you to Bogdan Petrescu for creating and sharing this freebie.
What makes this Christmas icon set stand out is the texture work layered into each shape. Instead of flat fills, the tree, the gift box, and the sledge all carry a subtle dot or line pattern inside their color blocks, giving them a printed, almost screen-textured feel rather than a slick digital look.
That texture pairs with a soft drop shadow behind every icon, offset slightly to the lower right in a lighter tint of the same hue. It is a small detail, but it gives the whole set a bit of lift and dimension without breaking the otherwise clean, flat-design construction.
The color palette sticks to a cheerful, candy-bright range: forest green for the tree, warm peach for the winter-capped face, sky blue for the gift, mustard yellow for the sledge, teal and navy for the snowflake, and red for the firework. Every shape is outlined in the same dark navy stroke, which ties the six icons together as a cohesive family even though each one uses a different accent color.
This kind of holiday icon set earns its keep in seasonal marketing work. Think Christmas sale banners, gift guide graphics, holiday email headers, advent calendar posts, or a row of feature icons on a winter landing page.
The smiley face in the beanie is a nice inclusion too, since it gives you a friendly, human touch alongside the more object-based icons like the sledge and gift box.
Because the icons are simple and iconographic rather than illustrative scenes, they also work well as small UI accents: think order-confirmation emails for a holiday promotion, app notification icons during December, or little dividers between sections of a Christmas-themed newsletter.
Adjusting the Icons for Your Own Palette
If your brand colors do not match the greens, blues, and reds here, the good news is that the construction is simple enough to recolor quickly.
Each icon is really just two or three flat shapes stacked together: an outline, a solid fill, and the textured pattern sitting inside it.
In most editors you can select the fill shape directly and swap the color without touching the outline or the pattern layer, which keeps the icon’s structure intact.
If you want a quieter, more corporate look, try deleting the drop shadow layer and flattening the texture to a single tone. That turns these into simple flat icons that will sit comfortably next to a sans-serif logo or a minimal UI kit.
If you want to push the festive quality further, consider scaling the icons up and using them as standalone hero graphics rather than small inline marks. At a larger size the pattern detail becomes a real visual feature rather than a texture you only half notice.
Since the set only covers six icons, it works best as an accent element. Pair it with a clean sans-serif or a rounded display typeface for headlines, and let the icons carry the seasonal warmth while the type stays simple.
They also sit nicely alongside other winter or Christmas assets, such as patterned backgrounds, string lights, or gift-wrap textures, without competing for attention since the icon style stays fairly restrained.
