Christmas bookings are coming, and your booth needs a holiday design that fits the event without stretching the budget. This collection starts with all five free Christmas photo booth templates from TemplatesBooth, followed by 17 more designs from the full TemplatesBooth library.
The first five designs are free and unlock with an email address. Start there if you need traditional greenery, gold snowflakes, a knitted sweater pattern or a snowy winter look; look further when the event calls for a postcard, ornate Santa frames or a different color palette.
Every design listed includes 2x6 strips, 4x6 portrait and landscape prints, matching animated versions and four static welcome screens. Most also include square layouts, 6x2 horizontal strips and a 4x6 option with horizontal photos. You can replace the preview wording, names and dates with your own event details.
Quick answer
TemplatesBooth offers five free Christmas photo booth designs, unlocked with an email address, within a collection of 1,400+ Christmas layouts. Choose a template that matches your decor, leaves a useful photo area and supports your booth workflow. The free sets include print layouts and matching screen graphics; the full TemplatesBooth library expands the choice of themes and styles.
1. Free Festive Christmas Photo Booth Template – evergreen branches and gold lights
Free with an email address. This design is a strong starting point for a traditional Christmas party. Realistic evergreen branches frame a textured black background, while fine gold photo borders, string lights and scattered gold specks tie the composition together.
The preview stacks two photos above a lettering panel, with red-and-white gifts and a gold star at the bottom. Choose this set for a room decorated with greenery and warm metallic accents: the dark background gives the foliage and gold details a clear presence without filling the photo openings.
2. Free Merry Christmas Photo Booth Template – speckled border and pine garland
Free with an email address. A distressed navy-and-white border gives this option a different character from the black-and-gold opener. Two white-bordered photos sit above a navy footer, with pine branches and a collection of ornaments curling around the left and bottom edges.
Pinecones, candy canes, baubles, small gifts and string lights make this a detailed choice for a family celebration or community holiday gathering. It suits mixed traditional decorations particularly well, rather than requiring you to coordinate the whole event around one motif.
3. Free Christmas Photo Booth Template – gold snowflakes and red script
Free with an email address. For a lighter option, this design places two rectangular photos on white, surrounded by fine gold snowflakes and small starbursts. Looping gold lines at the top and a textured gold corner patch add decoration without the dense greenery of the first two picks.
The lower text panel combines red serif lettering and flowing script, with a red bar providing another strong accent. Use this one for an office reception or a dressed-up home party with white table settings, red decorations and touches of gold.
4. Free Ugly Christmas Sweater Photo Booth Template – knitted reindeer border
Free with an email address. This sweater design brings the theme into the frame itself. An off-white knitted texture carries red pixel-style reindeer, teal snowflakes, geometric crosses and diamonds, with stepped edging that resembles a patterned sweater.
Plain white borders keep the two stacked photos distinct from the busy knit-inspired decoration. Pick this for a casual sweater night, a playful staff gathering or a family party built around festive outfits. Red and teal lettering below the photos continues the border palette rather than introducing another competing color.
5. Free Frosty Winter Photo Booth Template – snowflakes and frosted edges
Free with an email address. Free Frosty Winter gives you a holiday look without a heavy Santa theme. Pale blue, white snow dots and snowflake icons surround two softly bordered photo openings, while frosted textures build up around the outer edges.
The dark blue serif text below the photos makes this a useful choice for a Christmas party with winter decor rather than red-and-green ornaments. It also suits a family celebration where you want the photographs to feel seasonal, but prefer snow and ice to gifts, bows or character illustrations.
6. Christmas Bow Photo Booth Template – red ribbon and frost
Christmas Bow uses a focused red-and-white design. A shaded ribbon bow sits at the upper left, while white frost speckles soften the red areas around two vertically stacked photo openings.
Compared with the ornament-filled free designs, Christmas Bow keeps its decorative vocabulary narrow: one large bow, frosty edges and restrained gray serif lettering below. It suits gift-themed decor or a clean red-and-white party setup.
7. Blue & Gold Christmas Photo Booth Template – snowflakes and starbursts
This set fills a clear color gap in the free selection: dark blue paired with flat gold and muted blue snowflakes. Small dots, starbursts and three diamond accents decorate the edges rather than competing with the photo area.
The previews include one large rectangular photo and a two-photo stack, with thin, widely spaced gold lettering beneath. Choose Blue & Gold Christmas for a restrained corporate reception or a venue already dressed in navy and metallic accents. The flat graphics give it a more pared-back finish than realistic foliage.
8. Christmas Postcard Photo Booth Template – Santa postmark and stamp borders
Christmas Postcard turns the photo strip into a mail-inspired keepsake. Two stacked openings have white scalloped stamp borders, with red-and-green diagonal edging at the top and bottom and black postal cancellation lines beside the photos.
A circular Santa postmark and green script complete the cream background. The postage-stamp borders and Santa postmark give this design a Christmas card-style, mail-inspired look, rather than simply another festive border. Consider it for family gatherings or a holiday market with handwritten signs and traditional gift wrapping.
9. Modern Christmas Party Photo Booth Template – gold bars and leaping reindeer
Deep red and gold give Modern Christmas Party a formal direction. Vertical gold bars of different lengths run around the photo area, accompanied by dots and starbursts; a flat leaping reindeer sits above the lower text.
The two-photo preview creates a strong vertical arrangement, while single-photo versions place the headline beneath the image. Choose this for an office dinner or a formal Christmas reception with red linens and gold accents. The geometric bars offer an alternative to the free designs' branches, snow textures and knitted patterns.
10. Christmas Snowflakes Photo Booth Template – curling ribbons and white lights
White snowflakes, softly blurred lights and curling red ribbons sit on a deep red background. The result is more tonal than the gold-accented red designs, making this a useful option for a red-and-white event scheme.
The previews show a single large photo, four vertically stacked photos and a three-photo arrangement beside and above a text panel. Use the larger photo treatment when the portrait should dominate, or choose the multi-photo arrangement for a sequence of poses. White serif lettering keeps the event text consistent with the snowflake details.
11. Classic Christmas Photo Booth Template – gold holly and red bows
Classic Christmas uses dark green, red photo borders and fine gold inset outlines for a traditional palette. Gold line illustrations gather beneath the photos: holly, pinecones, bows, stars and circular floral and snowflake ornaments.
The delicate drawing style distinguishes this set from the realistic evergreen branches in the free selection. Choose it for a traditional dinner or an office celebration where the decoration needs to feel detailed but orderly. Single-photo portrait and landscape previews offer a less segmented composition than the two-photo strip.
12. Christmas Party Photo Booth Template – pine sprigs and gold bow
This version of Christmas Party pairs a red background with diagonal glitter-like bands, green pine sprigs and pinecones. Faceted gold stars, a gold ribbon bow and white sparkles make the border decorative and warm.
Thin cream frames separate the photos from the richly detailed background, with stacked and grid arrangements shown in the previews. Pick this set for a room full of traditional greenery and gold ornaments, especially if the simpler bow design feels too spare. Uppercase lettering and brush script give the text panel two distinct levels.
13. Santa's Grotto Photo Booth Template – Santa holding ornate frames
Santa's Grotto makes the character part of the photo border: a realistic Santa with round glasses, a white beard and gray gloves holds ornate gold-brown frames around the openings. Red velvet clothing fills the outside edges.
The two-photo strip repeats the framed portrait effect vertically. This is a purposeful upgrade for a Santa-themed family or children's event where snowflakes alone would not establish the scene. The hands and frames create a more staged composition than the flat decorative borders elsewhere in the list.
14. Contemporary Christmas Photo Booth Template – pink bauble and gold starbursts
Contemporary Christmas brings pink into the palette, with red, a large translucent bauble and gold starbursts. Tiny stars and glowing dots fill the surrounding space, while thin white double-line borders define the photo openings.
The strip shows two stacked photos; portrait and landscape previews use a single image. Choose this alternative for a bright holiday party with pink ornaments or contemporary retail-style decor. Slender white serif capitals keep the text treatment light, avoiding the heavier lettering found in several of the traditional red designs.
15. Merry Christmas Photo Booth Template – snowy frames and gold loops
Snow rests on top of the white photo frames, with pale blue icicles hanging below. Behind them, a red background carries gold loops, geometric ornaments and translucent circles, giving this design more layered scenery than Free Frosty Winter.
A scalloped white text panel leads into a curved snowbank with white deer and fir-tree silhouettes. Use Merry Christmas for a family party that combines traditional red decor with a snowy woodland theme. The winter details continue from the photo borders down to the bottom edge.
16. Green Christmas Photo Booth Template – snowy wooden sign and baubles
Realistic evergreen branches and tiny gold lights frame this green design. Beneath two stacked photos, a darker snowflake pattern supports hanging red and green baubles and a wooden sign topped with snowy pine sprigs.
The sign makes this a useful match for a holiday market or a Christmas gathering with timber decorations and plenty of greenery. Unlike the fine line art of Classic Christmas, this set uses recognizable objects and textured details. The lower section feels like a small decorated scene rather than a plain caption area.
17. Rustic Christmas Photo Booth Template – berry twigs and red bow
Rustic Christmas leaves much of the background white, with brown twigs and red berries across the top. A wood-textured gift box and large red bow anchor the bottom, joined by tan snowflakes and pale pink dots.
Two rectangular photos stack between those decorative areas. Choose this for a craft-led holiday gathering, a rustic venue or a market with natural materials and red ribbon details. The brown handwritten script and red serif lettering echo the illustration palette, giving you a softer alternative to dark green or metallic-heavy designs.
18. Bad Santa Christmas Photo Booth Template – stern Santa and cracked frames
Bad Santa Christmas deliberately changes the mood. Stern white-bearded Santa faces sit above ornate gold photo frames, gloved hands grip the edges, and cracked-glass overlays break up the otherwise traditional framing.
Dark red, black and jagged red lettering reinforce the irreverent character. Reserve this design for an adult-leaning novelty party whose hosts want a darker Christmas joke, rather than a children's celebration. The cracked-glass artwork affects the photo treatment itself, so choose it for guests who will appreciate that deliberately rough visual effect.
19. Christmas Ugly Sweater Photo Booth Template – knitted borders and toy trains
This sweater option adds a more elaborate setting than the free knitted design. Red, navy and white patterned bands surround the photo openings, with dark wood-style trim and a textured brown outer background.
Illustrated tiered Christmas trees and toy trains sit at the lower corners, while turquoise brush lettering supplies a bright contrast. Choose Christmas Ugly Sweater when you want a sweater night to include toy-shop details and framed decorations, rather than a simpler all-over knit effect. The added objects give it a distinctly different personality.
20. Christmas Special Photo Booth Template – brown deer and circular badge
Christmas Special combines a textured red background with irregular white photo frames and small white snow flecks. Two hand-drawn brown deer and bare branches decorate the lower section around a white circular badge.
The badge gives the event wording a defined home, separate from the two stacked photos. Pick this for a rustic Christmas party that needs more red than Rustic Christmas offers, or a woodland-themed gathering without realistic evergreen borders. The drawn deer and uneven framing keep the design informal rather than polished and metallic.
21. Christmas Party Photo Booth Template – cream moustache and holly
This cream version of Christmas Party has a playful detail that the other designs do not: a shaded cream moustache overlaps the lower photo. Green and orange holly leaves, gold snowflakes and outlined Christmas tree biscuits decorate the surrounding background.
Red script and a red banner finish the panel beneath the stacked photos. Choose it for a casual party with humorous photo touches and warm cream decorations. Because the moustache crosses the lower photo area, treat that overlap as part of the composition when planning your guest poses.
22. Elegant Christmas Photo Booth Template – poinsettias, berries and pinecones
Flat illustrated poinsettias and red berry clusters border a white background, joined by green leaves, pine sprigs, tan pinecones and small beige buds. Broad white gutters separate the rectangular photos from the botanical decoration.
The previews include a two-photo stack, a four-photo strip and grid arrangements, giving you different ways to balance portraits and floral detail. Choose Elegant Christmas for a formal family dinner or a reception with poinsettia arrangements. Red handwritten script and dark serif capitals keep the text coordinated with the flowers and foliage.

Files work with LumaBooth, DSLR Booth, Darkroom Booth (.XBDR), Photoshop through layered PSD files, and Canva. Blank transparent PNG overlays support almost any other booth app. The TemplatesBooth browser editor lets you change names, dates and wording without design experience.
Free designs unlock with an email address and include the same layouts and file formats as the other designs in the library. A membership unlocks the entire library, every format and new releases with no download limits. Membership also includes a 30-day money-back guarantee, and you can cancel anytime.
What the five free designs cover, and what the rest of the library adds
The free selection covers several useful starting points. Free Festive Christmas supplies dark greenery and gold lights; Free Merry Christmas adds a navy border and an assortment of traditional ornaments. Free Christmas offers a brighter white, red and gold treatment, Free Ugly Christmas Sweater handles knit-inspired party styling, and Free Frosty Winter provides a blue-and-white seasonal backdrop.
Looking beyond the free five makes sense for a specific visual gap. Blue & Gold Christmas gives you a restrained dark-blue palette. Christmas Bow concentrates on one ribbon motif, while Christmas Snowflakes combines a red background with white snowflakes and curling ribbons. Christmas Postcard introduces stamp borders and postal marks that none of the free designs use.
If you want a shortlist from the rest of the library with a record of member use, Christmas Bow, Blue & Gold Christmas, Christmas Postcard, Modern Christmas Party, Christmas Snowflakes and Christmas Party with pine sprigs and a gold bow were among the most-used Christmas designs by TemplatesBooth members last season. Consider those six when their artwork fills a gap in the free selection, rather than upgrading for popularity alone.
Santa's Grotto adds a character-led scene, and Bad Santa Christmas takes that idea in a dark, adult-novelty direction. Christmas Ugly Sweater adds wood-style trim, trees and toy trains beyond the free sweater pattern. If you regularly need different looks, membership access to the full library, new releases and unlimited downloads is the practical upgrade.
For celebrations outside December, explore free photo booth templates for other occasions before committing to a paid theme.
Choose the format and artwork around the event
Office and corporate parties: start with Free Christmas for white, red and gold, or compare Blue & Gold Christmas and Modern Christmas Party for more restrained or formal styling. Match the frame palette to the room's existing decorations rather than adding an unrelated theme.
Family and kids' events: Free Merry Christmas offers a broad mix of familiar ornaments, while Santa's Grotto makes Santa central to the composition. For a Christmas party with wintry decorations but no character theme, choose Free Frosty Winter.
Sweater nights and holiday markets: the free sweater design already establishes the knit theme; Christmas Ugly Sweater adds toy trains and framed details. For market settings with natural materials, compare Rustic Christmas, Green Christmas and the mail-inspired Christmas Postcard.
Strips versus 4x6 prints: choose a 2x6 strip for a vertical sequence of poses. A single-photo 4x6 composition, such as those shown in Blue & Gold Christmas or Contemporary Christmas, gives one portrait more space. Elegant Christmas and Christmas Snowflakes also show multi-photo arrangements when you want several moments on one keepsake.
Santa's Grotto, Bad Santa Christmas and Christmas Ugly Sweater are the format exceptions: their listed print options are 2x6 strips and 4x6 portrait and landscape layouts, without square or 6x2 horizontal strips. If DSLR Booth is your regular workflow, you can also browse DSLR Booth templates when planning designs for the rest of your calendar.

When is it worth moving beyond the free Christmas designs?
Moving beyond the free designs is worth considering when your event needs a look the five free designs do not cover, such as postcard styling, pink baubles, ornate Santa frames or dark novelty artwork. Membership also makes sense when you need access to more themes, every format and new releases with no download limits. Matching animations and screen graphics already come with the free designs, so those alone are not a reason to upgrade.
Start with the five free designs and choose the one that fits your decor and photo arrangement. If the event needs a more specific theme, compare the other designs for that exact gap, then personalize the wording and coordinate your prints with the matching booth screens.
