Christmas is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than with some free goodies?
We sifted through the web (and our archives) to find holiday-themed icon sets for you that'll give
your creative projects some holiday flair. Perfect for Christmas cards, gift tags, last-minute wrapping
paper, or whatever else you can think of.

All icons can be downloaded for free, but please consult their licenses or contact the creators before
using them in commercial projects. Reselling a bundle is never cool, though. Have a happy holiday
season!
