Winter is such a beautiful holiday. The bright white snow, the shiny Christmas lights, and the colors of the season. Photographs of the winter season have always been my favorite. This is why I love finding the best winter phone wallpapers.
There are so many wonderful photographers that have created some amazing art. That is especially true during the holidays. The amazing photos of snow and the ability to capture coziness in a photo have always been amazing to me. I admire photographers so much.
This is why I love choosing a holiday phone background for my phone each year. I get to choose from some amazing photos done by some amazing artists. It is also a little spark of joy every time I turn on my phone to see a beautiful Christmas tree or a winter mountain scene.
And in a true sharing fashion that the holidays inspire in me, I want to share the winter phone wallpapers that I’ve found this year with everyone else.
There is going to be a wide variety of winter phone wallpapers in this post, so there is sure to be something for everyone. They will be broken down into different categories for easy searching. Whether you want your phone to include snow, or you want a cheery Christmas scene, I have the holiday background for you!
How to Download the Phone Background
These are the instructions for iPhones. I don’t have an android or any other type of phone, so I am unable to provide those. But I imagine that they are pretty similar. If you search, “how to save an image from a website on a [insert your phone], you will find instructions that work for you.
Anyway, here is how to download an image from a website onto your iPhone:
- Scroll through the options and select which winter phone wallpaper you want to use
- Tap and hold on the chosen image until a small menu pops up on the screen
- Select the “Add to Photos” option
- The phone background will then appear in your photos app, from there you can make it your phone wallpaper
How to Make a Photo your Wallpaper
Now that you have the photo saved into your photo app, here is how to make it your phone’s wallpaper. Again, these are the instructions for an iPhone, other instructions can be found by searching Google.
- Open the photo app
- Tap on the photo you wish to be your phone background, it will open to fill the entire screen
- Tap on the icon that looks like a square with an arrow pointing up, which is in the bottom left corner
- Scroll through the menu that pops up and select, “Use as wallpaper”
- From there you can play with the photo until it is perfect, such as zooming in and moving the picture around

Candy Canes
I can’t decide which wallpaper I want to use first, they are all so cute! I think I am particularly fond of the candy cane ones. The red and white stripes bring back so many nostalgic memories of Christmas in elementary school.
The holidays were just better when I was younger, and I know a lot of people my age feel the exact same way. Their excitement was better, the activities were more abundant, and the festivity was joyful. I would give a lot of money to feel the same way I felt as a kid on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning.
This is why having a winter phone background is so important to me. If I can get even a sliver of that joy by adding some festive cheer to my phone, I will do it! Anything for that drop of serotonin.
I created a post just like this with phone backgrounds perfect for autumn, so if you are looking for some darker and less snowy pictures, check out that post! Some of them would definitely work for this season, especially if you live somewhere with little to no snow.
