The holiday season is upon us, and in many parts of the world people are currently in winter. So, it is a great time to review great themes for WordPress. Even if you hate winter, many of these themes were well designed and fit appropriately with the season.

NOTE: These themes are not guaranteed to work with the latest version of WordPress. Read the details at the developer’s site before installing them.

Winter Ice [PREVIEW] – A two column, fixed width (930 px) theme that features a polar bear and winter background. Overall the colors are textured blue and white, however in my opinion the text could be improved for readability. 

Frozen Age – A two column winter theme featuring a clean layout and a mountain scene as the header. Designed by NodeThirtyThree and Free WP Templates/Free CSS Templates, it is also available as a CSS website. 

Winter Theme – Courtesy of Lunar Pages, this theme has two columns – with the sidebar on the right, and a small snowman on the top right corner of the sidebar. The overall look of the theme is clean and organized. 

Xmas Theme – Another theme from Lunar Pages, this holiday theme uses gingerbread, candy canes, and ornaments as icons next to post titles, in the sidebar title, and as part of the header. A simple theme, with two columns – right sidebar and a green and red color scheme. 

WP-Andreas01 1.7 [PREVIEW] has proven to be a versatile theme, supporting widgets and header images. It has three columns, is fixed width, with a left/right sidebar, and a white/clean color format. This theme is included as the default image is of a small town in winter, and the color scheme is reminiscent of winter. 

Iceburgg [PREVIEW] is full of whites and blues, and was crafted to meet valid XHTML and CSS standards. The theme is one column, which splits into three columns right before the footer with categories, search, and a customizable about section. 

Merry Christmas WordPress Theme [PREVIEW] – This theme was designed for use around Christmas, with very bold colors. The main content background is white, with a 3-column footer. There is also animated snow, with the option to change wind speed and turn it off. Above the main content is a navigation bar.
