Christmas is right around the corner, and creating Christmas-themed designs can be a lot of fun.
Here we've compiled more than sixty fantastic Christmas design resources, including fonts, icons, vectors, and even Photoshop brushes.
These can serve as a great jumping-off point for creating your own unique designs without having to start entirely from scratch.
