2. CSS Christmas Lights

After creating the Christmas tree, see how to create Christmas lights. It consists of just an unordered list, and the styles are written in SCSS. I think it’s perfect for web decor.

It’s amazing that today we can create compelling animations using only CSS.

SVG implementation of the Christmas loop

This is a good example of the power of SVG. Not only can you make simple animations, but you can make complex animations like this; Smoothly create loops that convert 3 different objects.

The animation was built using only a div and Lottie JavaScript library.

Christmas wish

This “pen” makes up some SVG to create landscapes, foxes, and birds. It uses a library called ParticelJS to create snowfall. Even cooler, when you move the cursor around the snow, the snow moves away from the cursor as you move it.

Winter Wonderland

The Christmas tree, snow and snowfall were all created using HTML and CSS. The animation is made with CSS and is very simple. I think this is a great example for people who are new to CSS animation and understand what it does.

6. CSS Animated Christmas Tree (Single element)

HTML and CSS3 are really powerful and when you know tricks like this “Pen” it gives you an example of how to create Christmas trees and animations. The trick here is to combine shadows, animations, and transition layers. This is a good example of improving your CSS skills.

8. Digital Christmas Trees

At first you just see colorful triangles, seemingly unrelated to the holiday season, but when you click on the “Show” button, they are combined to form a Christmas tree. This is not only a unique solution, but also reminiscent of a simpler game.

9. Snowfall Christmas animation

If you want to create a cool animation for Christmas, you don’t necessarily need JavaScript. In this case, the snowfall animation and background images were created entirely in CSS. It’s worth examining the code a bit, as it demonstrates the incredible capabilities of CSS3. The background image can even be mistaken for a real SVG graphic.

Santa Claus is running

Santa is running! Phaser.js is a fun JavaScript game built using the PHASer. js HTML5 game framework. There aren’t many rules to the game: Santa runs indefinitely, or at least until he drops. With this, you can learn how to write simpler games in JavaScript.

11. Secret Santa Namers

Picking names out of hats has long been a popular way for schools and offices to pick secret Santas — and this is just the digital version of that tradition. Since it only uses plain JavaScript, you can easily embed it in your own website. Simply change the name in the give variable.

You can move them by hovering your mouse over the desktop or tilting your smartphone. This feature is provided by object-oriented JavaScript, and developers cleverly use it to create custom Snowflake classes.

The snowflake itself was built with CSS3, and the background used gradient.

14. Holiday accordion experiment

This holiday accordion is very beautiful. If you hover your mouse over a TAB, it will focus by expanding a bit, and if you click on it, it will pop up and cover the whole page. Interestingly, the pen uses scalable vector graphics (SVG) with CSS styles.

SVG is more powerful than it might seem at first glance, and they can be positioned and designed smartly with the same style rules we use for regular HTML elements.

15, pure CSS Snowman

Who says flat design has to be boring? This adorable snowman can easily add a Christmasy touch to any design. There is no image for a snowman, it is written entirely in CSS. It’s worth taking a little look at the CSS code to see how developers can use the :before and :after pseudo-selectors to achieve the desired results.

21. Gift card user interface

This eye-catching gift card is not only good for Christmas, but can be used whenever you want to surprise users with gifts on your website. It does not rely on JavaScript because it is written entirely in the Sass stylesheet language.

22. Pure CSS Christmas cards

This infinitely laughing Santa — using HTML and CSS3 only — gives you a chance to see how to use keyframe animation syntax in practice. In CSS3, you can specify the rules for animation using the @Keyframes rule, and then you can bind the specified animation to an element using the Animation CSS3 property.

You need to add the name of the keyframe as the first value of the animation property, just as developers do with custom keyframes named bodyLaugh, beardLaugh, headLaugh, and mouthLaugh that are dedicated to this effect.
