50+ Free Christmas Wallpaper Backgrounds For Your iPhone

During the Christmas season, I simply have to have an adorable Christmas wallpaper background on my iPhone. There’s nothing that puts me more in the Christmas spirit!

With everything going on right now, I’m more into the things that I can control.

I might not get to see all of my family members this Christmas, but I will decorate my home, bake goodies, and add fun Christmas touches like iPhone wallpaper.

Something about opening up my phone and seeing a happy wallpaper makes me that much more cheerful. Our iPhone’s wallpaper really is the new “bookmark” in 2020!

I’m that person who switches out my wallpaper every few days because there’s just so many fun options, especially during the Christmas season.

Whether you’re looking for super cute and general December wallpaper choices or you specifically want Christmas wallpaper options for your iPhone, there’s sure to be a great option among these free wallpaper downloads.

I included over 50+ December and Christmas wallpaper options so scroll through and pick out what you like the best!

Don’t forget that you can set a different wallpaper option for your home screen and lock screen if you’d like.

Note: some of these wallpaper options are more traditional pattern wallpapers, while others are gorgeous winter scenery or Christmas trees. They’re randomly placed below, so scroll through to see what you like best.

These Christmas wallpaper options all work better on the phone because they’re vertical, but it’s possible to use them on the computer as well if you don’t mind cropping them.

Most of these Christmas wallpaper options will work on any kind of phone, though. They all still look great even if they need to be cropped a bit.

How to Save and Use on the Phone:

Press and hold the photo that you want and click save to iPhone. This should work on Androids as well!

Once you’ve saved the photo to your camera roll, you can go into settings and change your wallpaper.

Keep in mind that you can use a different wallpaper option for your lock screen and your home screen, if you want, or you can use one photo for both.

I typically use a brighter wallpaper for my lock screen and a more muted wallpaper for my iPhone’s home screen so that I can see my apps over the wallpaper. This will of course depend on your phone’s aesthetic.

If you find a super bold wallpaper that you really want to use on your home screen, trying putting a muted overlay on top of the photo using an editing app like Tezza or Canva.
