These Christmas-themed YouTube backgrounds include popular Christmas hits, traditional music, and winter-warming sound effects to get you into the holiday spirit.
The 4K Christmas Ambience playlist from the Relax with TV Backgrounds channel offers something for every holiday mood, from cozy snow globes and Christmas lights to crackling fireplaces and festive ornaments in ultra-high definition. Meanwhile, a fine array of ambient festive music is on offer, ranging from smooth jazz to classical guitar to big band orchestras.
For many of us, Christmas wouldn’t be complete without the songs of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, and Nat King Cole.

Many of these include festive fireside backgrounds, and runtimes are usually over two hours long.
If you’re not looking for anything specific from your festive YouTube background, the Holiday Backgrounds channel has several seemingly random videos. Each video on its Christmas Backgrounds Playlist has a unique aesthetic and musical accompaniment, with a choice of realistic and graphic designs.
