Epic HTC themes to get you in the Christmas spirit

It’s December, it’s Christmas time, and snow is coming! Download these themes using the HTC Theme app to make your phone more festive. Enjoy wintery wallpapers and jingly ringtones while sitting by the fire being thankful for all that we are blessed with.

Designers have worked hard to bring us lots of amazing themes knowing we may only download and use them for a week or month while we are in the holiday spirit. I am sharing these themes with you, because HTC approves lots of themes from designers on a regular basis and it can be easy to miss some of the great ones. Please enjoy this compilation of Chrismtas/winter-like themes and feel free to add your own recommendations in the comments below.

Merry Christmas

The first them is in this collection is by a somewhat novice designer. After looking at Mohammad Haddad’s collection, this is his first with custom HTC icons. With only one wallpaper, the warm red background with white squiggly lines and lettering are reused nicely in different areas. The color of the numbers on the HTC Clock get lost in the background so this may not be a favorite of some.

X-Mas Red V1.0

Here’s a theme with a similar wallpaper on the home screen. The red color scheme is a little darker than the previous theme and there’s more than one wallpaper plus the icons have a Christmas tree overlay that applies to all the icons. This theme was designed by HTCNerd Yoda who also made a few of the Star Wars themes in the last collection I featured.

Santa’s Sleigh

Santa takes flight tomorrow night to deliver presents to all the good boys and girls. Catch a glimpse of Santa dashing across your home screen with this theme that comes complete with a jolly old man holding all your apps. This designer spends extra time making very nice numbers for the HTC Clock. Check out her other themes in the gallery.

A Dream of Winter

This little dream of a theme has a dark color scheme with a bunch of nice custom icons (for apps, weather, and clock). With only one wallpaper and some frost icons this theme will be sufficient for my Christmas eve theme. Justin Patrick is a theme designer with many more holiday themes than I am featuring today.

The Faint Sound of Bells

Another JP design with Santa flying above the mountains. The clock, weather, and app icons are very colorful.

Senor Frost

Another of Justin’s themes with a minimal design. The lock screen has a few snowflakes and the home screen has a stencil-like snowman with shading that is also carried into the app icons.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Here’s a wintery theme with cartoon inspiration. The wallpaper is of a log cabin surrounded by winter and the app icons their own 3D characteristics. The main reason I selected this theme was for the colorful HTC Clock icons; very nice detailing! This is the only theme in the designer’s gallery.

Christmas

Did you see the snowman theme from this week’s theme review? Well this is another one of Dario Scardy’s themes and wow! is it detailed. There are several wallpapers, custom icons, clock, and weather. Very well put together.
