Jumpstart the Holiday with These 23 Christmas Illustrations!
It’s that time of year when the air is filled with cheer! 😄 From decorating, to making or buying presents, to cooking and hosting feasts, the year-end holidays can get a bit hectic, but the warmth of the company of people you love makes everything worth it, right? 😉
Now, let’s get into the festive mood with these Christmas illustrations!
Christmas Decorations
First, we need to make the place look the part! How do you decorate your space for the holidays?
Instead of buying ornaments, why not collect festive decorations from nature like this eco-friendly family by Siski Kalla?
And maybe even decorate an actual tree outside like this one by Anni Betts? Replace the leaves with trinkets and you’re golden!
After spending another year in storage, that Christmas wreath might look a bit worn. Fluff it out and spruce it up with some ornaments like this lion by Loo McNulty.
Don’t forget to hang those Christmas stockings! Which of these fab designs by Nosheen Ahmed do you like best?

Christmas Tree
The tree is the most prominent decoration in most homes. It usually stands where people gather, and of course, it’s where the presents are kept! 😁
Now, there’s this whole real vs. fake tree hullabaloo about which is better, but really, the important thing is you have one that you like and will make memories with! So don’t worry to much and go get one like this fox by Natalia Shaloshvili (represented by Good Illustration).
This penguin family by Marife Gonzalez even has a special Christmas car for hauling their Christmas tree home!
Up in the North Pole, Kristy Lankford shows us that Santa Claus’ tree is already merry & bright!
Do you have a big public Christmas tree in your community? Karine Makartichan shows us this gorgeously huge one that everybody loves!

These friends by Kasia Nowowiejska (represented by Good Illustration) decided to go for plain boxes for gifts to really make their tree stand out.
And as per this fab piece by Kirsty Oxley, singing carols with a magnificently decorated tree in the background is a Christmas hit!
Christmas Eve
It’s the night before Christmas… and the wait begins!
When everybody’s asleep and everything’s quiet, this pup and kitty duo by Geraldine Sy (represented by Good Illustration) keeps watch over the fire to make sure only Santa gets in!
But this ickle bear by Claudia Tenorio Pearl decided to try and stay up and wait for Santa. He’s ready with his hot cocoa!
The staying-up game is strong in this little one by Erin O’Leary Brown.
Aww… these fluffers by Dina Leuchovius have fallen asleep by the cozy fire.
