26 Festive and Free Christmas Wallpapers for Your iPhone
Every year as the Christmas holiday season approaches, we start thinking about how we’re going to spend the holidays, whether with family or friends, or possibly a getaway with just a spouse or significant other. We start planning our gift-giving and deciding where to shop and what to buy. We drag out the tubs and boxes full of Christmas decorations and deck out the tree and our homes with all the ornaments and baubles and knick-knacks that make the season feel festive.
So, while we’re getting into the spirit of the season with the music and decorations and gifts, why not bring a little bit of all that holiday bling to the one thing that most of us carry around with us all day long – our cell phones? That’s right, sometimes we get so busy with life and important things that we forget we can take a moment to express ourselves and help get in the holiday mood by doing something as simple as changing out the home screen on our phones.
With the Christmas iPhone wallpapers presented in this post, you’re sure to find something that ignites your holiday spirit. From Victorian themes to traditional holiday scenes, sparkly ornaments to baked treats, there’s a little something for everyone.

How to Download and Install a Christmas Wallpaper to Your iPhone:
When you find the Christmas wallpaper that’s just right for you, simply download to your phone by holding or long pressing on any image and click the “Save to Photos” option from the popup. Then, go to your Photos, click the upload button, and scroll down and select “Use as Wallpaper”.
Important: When the photo fills your screen, it will likely be zoomed in, so you’ll want to use your thumb and forefinger to zoom out by placing in opposite corners and pinching them together. (Be careful, though – if you zoom all the way out, the top part of your wallpaper switches to a soft focus, so zoom back in slightly to avoid this.) Then click “Add” at top of screen, and “Set as Wallpaper Pair”.
