Let’s start with a classic; the Christmas tree! Is there anything that does a better job of making people think of the festive season than a fully decked-out Christmas pine? The combinations of the green tree and red and gold decorations crystallize the perfect image of a traditional Christmas.

We especially love this particular photo because it's artful and out of focus- quality gives an extra cozy, dreamlike feel, the photograph take great pictures. The small flecks of falling snow work as a wonderful overlay that help to soften the overall image! This image can be the perfect background idea for the Christmas period.

One of the best things about the Christmas period is the food! Using food imagery is always an effective way to connect with an audience and get them invested in your content – especially when said food is some cute homemade Christmas cookies.

These wintery biscuits set against the backdrop of oranges and pinecones conjure up the delicious smells of the season. This image exudes warmth, perfect for Christmas time!

In a similar way to Christmas trees themselves, festive decorations are an immediate signifier of the holiday season and are a joy to behold. Everyone is familiar with the fun and excitement of decorating a tree, and these are the feelings that photos full of decorations can bring up.

The soft glow from the lighting sets these decorations up to sparkle and shine with traditional festive colors; the image is infused with plenty of Christmas magic and excitement!

Stockings are another Christmas classic; who doesn’t relate to the excitement of finding a full stocking hanging by the fire on Christmas morning?
