15 Best Christmas Live Wallpaper Apps for your Android

It’s the month of December when you patiently wait to get back to your cozy chair with a big mug of pipping hot chocolate. When you look forward to those chunky sweaters and warm dinners at the end of each day.

The year 2020 has been challenging for all, with many endeavors coming to a screeching halt, many of you will likely need some motivation to get into the holiday spirit. With the plethora of Christmas themed laptop bags, skins, mobile covers, air pod cases out in the market, live wallpaper apps have also decided to join in on the fun. In today’s article, we cover 15 of the best Christmas live wallpapers for your android devices.

1. Moonlight Snowfall

Undoubtedly the top contender in this list is this live wallpaper app which features everything that you love about Christmas. Be it the twinkly lights on a large Christmas tree, a snowy night, or the mountains in the background, the scene is absolutely breathtaking. With picture quality that is sharp, crisp, and has depth to all different elements covered in animated snowfall, this wallpaper is a must-try this holiday season.

The app allows you to customize the wallpaper’s soothing music, fireworks in the background, lights on trees, and of course the snow (speed, intensity, and direction). While the app is fairly minimalist and user-friendly, visually it could be attractive especially since the ads take up half of the screen. Additionally, there is only one wallpaper in this app, but since the live wallpaper is fantastic, there is not much left to complain about.

2. Snowy Night

This app offers a set of 10 calming live wallpapers that includes motion pictures reflecting snowy winter and the night of Christmas eve. Think of it as a short video and not a live wallpaper. Whether it’s the lights, music, people’s movements, or the snowfall effect, it’s all subtle here. The app allows you to upload your personal picture or a video and turn it into a live wallpaper as well.

But sadly, there is no settings panel to customize the live wallpapers. Additionally, the frequency of ads is slightly annoying.
