It’s tiiiiiiime. It doesn’t matter how horrible the weather gets; for the next month, I am the holiest, jolliest person you will ever see. Work commute full of melted snowy sludge you have to walk through every day? I’m unfazed. Forced to brave the hellscape that is the post office during the holidays? Happy to do it. Holiday gatherings full of relatives asking if you’re still single? Don’t worry, Grandma, I’m not bothered! Mariah Carey is playing in my ears, and I’m soaking up the most wonderful time of the year. The only thing left before my holiday transformation is complete is getting my computer up to speed with the perfect holiday tech background.
If you need a little boost in your seasonal spirit, nothing will get you romanticizing the holidays like our December tech backgrounds. The gorgeous snowy walks in Central Park, perfectly wrapped gifts, and crackling fireplaces featured are all surefire ways to feel the holiday joy even on the busiest workdays.

For years, The Everygirl has been releasing monthly tech backgrounds to give your home screen a put-together, refreshed vibe. We include options for all devices, so you have choices for your phone screen, desktop or laptop, and your iPad or tablet. If you love having a calendar right on your screen to easily glance at throughout the month, we’ve got you covered—several of our backgrounds feature calendars, with options for a Sunday or Monday start. We also provide second-screen options for each tech background, so if you’re working on two screens (like a laptop and a monitor at the same time), you can have two of the same design.
