Free Christmas Overlays
16 free Christmas overlays in HD. Falling snow and close-up snowflakes, sparklers, string lights, red and gold glitter and confetti, bokeh and red and green light leaks for Christmas reels, greetings and adverts, each on a black background. Put one above your footage, set the blend mode to Screen, and only the snow or the sparkle lands on your shot. No signup, no watermark, commercial licence included.
How to use Christmas overlays
Snow needs a dark sky
A Screen blend only adds light, so snow disappears over a white wall or a bright window. Put it over the darker part of the frame, or pull the exposure of your shot down a little first.
One sparkle layer, not three
Glitter, stars and bokeh all add light. Stack two and the shot turns to mush. Pick one, keep it around 40 percent opacity, and let it sit behind your title.
Are there Santas, reindeer or trees in these overlays?
No. These overlays are snow, sparkle and light on black, made to sit on top of your own footage. The library has no characters or faces, so they work over whatever your own shot shows.
How do I add a Christmas overlay in CapCut?
On a phone: open your project, tap Overlay, then Add overlay, and choose the clip. With it selected, tap Blend and pick Screen. On desktop: select the clip, then Video, Basic, Blend, Screen.
Can I use these Christmas overlays commercially?
Yes. Every clip is free for commercial use in videos, ads and client work, no watermark and no signup. Every clip is AI-generated and checked by hand.
