Christmas Wallpaper : Holiday Desktop Wallpaper

This year, we're arranging our wallpaper images a little differently. The various Christmas wallpapers are now divided up by theme, and viewable on separate pages so you can quickly find what you're looking for. This page will be the main archive page, listing the various Christmas wallpaper themes, showing graphic representations of the kinds of wallpaper with each theme, and links to each of them. Each themed page also links to its corresponding widescreen wallpaper page for those of you with widescreen monitors.

Also on this page, below the theme links, are some older archived Christmas backgrounds from previous years. You can download those right from this page.

How To Download and Set The Archived Christmas Wallpaper On This Page as your Desktop Background

Unsure how to make one of these archived images from previous years as your Christmas desktop wallpaper? It's easy! Just click on the appropriate linked size (or the thumbnail image of the 2004/2007 collections) to load the full-sized image. (Be sure to wait until the entire background picture has finished loading). Then do one of the following:

Windows Instructions... When the image has finished loading, right-click the wallpaper and select "set as wallpaper." or "set as background." on newer versions of Windows.

Mac Instructions... When the picture has completely loaded, hold down the mouse button until a pop-up menu appears. Choose "download image to disk." Once the image is saved, use the Appearance Control Panel to make it into a desktop picture.

That's it! Enjoy the Christmas wallpaper!
