This video is very creative and wonderful. The fireworks , christmas tree’s decoration and forest environment are superb. The Lightning Christmas Tree in the winter forest is the Best idea.
Hello ! what a wonderful Christmas Spirit starting on envato ! Really like this creative idea !
For Videohive After Effects Projects I chose this corporate opener :
This project reflects Christmas Spirit in a wonderful way and is very useful for
business and corporate projects. I like the fluid motion, the simplicity, the colors,
the design and the way it all forms the Christmas Tree and the logo reveal… nice work !
For stock footage I humbly choose one of my items :
It took my wife hard work to decorate this Christmas Tree, and it is one of
few footage that shows the nativity story through the grotto where Jesus was
born. I also like the quality and the colors and proud of it !
Ho ho ho! Christmas is coming soon! So i want to wish you happy Cristmas!)) I really liked making Christmas projects last year :^) And I’m going to continue my series of funny Christmas congratulations with my cheerful Santa.
Santa is a positive, happy and a little bit crazy))) I think it shows the spirit of Christmas with a great BIG love)))
One project from this series:
Stock footage i like is the pack of shining elements. It’s very useful footages. When i look these warm video-elements, i feel warm in my soul)))
For Videohive After Effects Projects I chose one of My Blockbuster Christmas AE item :
It’s a Cinematic Magical Christmas Greetings Template. The Text effect is gold and its so cinematic and feels really magical and the atmosphere particles and sparkle flashes denotes so festive,it suits Best for Christmas wishes and new year greeting Card…
For Stock Footage I chose this item :

My favorite AE Christmas template is Christmas Pop-Up Book by The_Yoshivara
It’s a very original work with great idea and great 3D animation. Very impressive work with perfect visual look. One of the “Christmas” bestseller.
I really enjoy this time of year and making Christmas greetings templates, so first of all thank you for this opportunity to get featured on Videohive.
For the After Effects template I want to nominate this one:
I think that particle animation (magic) in this template is nicely done, with beautiful ambience, smooth camera movement and with a little cinematic touch. It represents the magical spirit of Christmas in a very nice way and it can be very useful and easy to edit Christmas Greeting video card.
For the Stock Footage:
After checking a really lot of them, this one really stand out by my opinion. Cool idea and very well executed stop motion shot with nice details.
