With Christmas just around the corner, a Christmas presentation can help you share holiday messages, promote seasonal campaigns, present year-end results, introduce festive events, or simply bring a warm, joyful atmosphere to your audience. It’s a simple way to communicate important information while keeping the tone cheerful, engaging, and on-brand for the holiday season. So today we will show you how to make a Christmas PowerPoint.
1) Choose the best template
Open GreatPPT and browse the Christmas category. Pick a template that matches your tone:
Playful & casual: lots of illustrations, bright colors.
Elegant & formal: muted palette, minimal icons.
Check that the template includes a matching infographic pack (icons, timelines, charts). That keeps your slides cohesive.
2) Plan your story first
Sketch a quick outline (title → message → proof → call to action). Decide what each slide must accomplish before editing. Less is usually better for holiday slides — aim for clarity and warmth.
3) Set up the Slide Master
Open View → Slide Master and:
Replace template colors with your chosen brand/holiday colors.
Set two fonts (heading + body) consistently across layouts.
Add logo and footer text once so it appears on all slides.
This ensures consistency and saves time.
4) Use and edit GreatPPT infographics
Swap text: Click the infographic text boxes and replace placeholder copy.
Edit shapes: Many infographics are vector groups. Right-click → Group → Ungroup to edit individual pieces. (Be sure to regroup after edits.)
Charts: Replace sample data with your numbers. Use simple, clear labels.
Icons: Replace icons with ones from the template’s icon set to maintain style.
Aim to simplify: convert complex infographics into a few focused points.
5) Add images and backgrounds
Use high-resolution photos (at least 1920×1080 for full-bleed).
Apply image masks from the template to keep the same style.
For text-over-photo slides, add a semi-transparent color overlay so text remains readable.
6) Typography & accessibility
Headings: 32–44 pt; Body: 24–28 pt.
Maintain strong contrast (dark text on light background or vice versa).
Add alt text to important images (right-click → Format Picture → Alt Text) for accessibility.
7) Keep animations subtle
Use gentle fades and simple appear/float motions. One effect type across the deck looks cleaner than many different effects.
Sequence bullet points with entrance animations if you’re speaking to them, but avoid over-animated distractions.
8) Polish & rehearse
Run Spelling & Grammar check.
Use Slide Show → Rehearse Timings if you want an auto-timed version.
Add speaker notes for any cues (music start, pause for effect, joke).
9) Export and share
For handout/email: File → Export → PDF.
For editable sharing: save as PPTX.
For web or remote presenting: consider uploading to Google Slides (File → Import) or exporting as MP4 if you recorded timings and narration.
