Bring some festive cheer to your designs! I’ve put together 10 Christmas fonts and color examples to inspire your next project. Each design includes a combination of 2-3 fonts, complementary color schemes, and charming illustrations to show how these elements work together to create that perfect holiday look and feel.
And the best part? All the fonts I’ve used are available in Canva, with most of them being free! If you’re looking for even more inspiration, don’t forget to check out my Canva Christmas template collection (right inside the Canva library!) for ready-to-use designs.
