Modern Christmas Decorations
Christmas decorations for 32px top-down shop interiors, plus Santa and an elf: trees and string lights that twinkle, garlands, a wreath, gifts, a seasonal drinks cooler, a counter display, rugs and a small wall and floor kit for a festive corner. Own one of our shop packs? Festive outfit layers dress its staff and customers too.
- 17 objects · 42 variants
- Twinkling lights
- Santa & an elf
- Festive corner kit
- 7 tilesets
Decorations, Santa, the elf and the kit work on their own. The outfit layers need one of our shop packs (sold separately). Use in commercial and non-commercial games.
Everything in this picture comes from the download: the lights twinkle, Santa waves and the elf walks in place carrying a gift, playing the pack's own frames. Shown at 2×.
What's included
Drawn on the same grid, camera, light and outline as our three shop packs, in one muted festive palette. Everything in the first three cards works on its own.
Christmas decorations
- 17 objects in 42 variants (141 direction sprites), in 4 directions where the object has a facing.
- Lights off, on and a 6-frame twinkle on 16 variants (the trees, tabletop tree, garland, string lights and lit wreath), plus the cooler's header light off and on: 448 light-state images.
- Garland and string lights come as wall modules that join into one continuous run of any length.
- 7 tilesets on a 32 × 32 grid (one per category, plus the room kit), and every sprite and light state as its own PNG.
Santa and the elf
- 115 animation frames and 9 expressions each.
- Walk and stand in 4 directions, also carrying a wrapped gift.
- Sit down and stay seated at 4 seat heights, in 4 directions. They use the same seat point as the seated customers of our Modern Bubble Tea Shop; this download has no seats of its own.
- Wave hello, talk and a talk-idle loop, facing the camera.
Festive corner kit
- 7 pieces: a honey plank floor, a plain wall face, wall caps and wall ends on the 32 px grid.
- The festive corner at the top of this page is built from the kit, the decorations and the two characters.
- No door, window or counter pieces: it makes a festive corner, not a shop.
Festive outfits for our shop characters
These need the matching shop pack, sold separately. On their own the layers show only a hat, a jumper or a scarf, not a character.
Two layers per character
- A Santa hat for all 12 characters, and a knit jumper for 8 or a knit scarf for 4 (the doctor, the nurse, the patient and the office customer).
- The two layers never share a pixel: use the hat alone, or both.
- Each layer image has the same size, folder and file name as its base image. Draw the base frame, then the layers; layer sheets match the base sheets frame for frame.
Which characters, which frames
- Modern Hospital (on itch.io: Hospital Staff & Patients): doctor, nurse, patient.
- Modern Bubble Tea Shop: cashier, tea maker, office, student and older customer.
- Modern Convenience Store: cashier, stock clerk, two shoppers.
- Every frame and expression of every animation in those packs (version 1.0), in the directions each pack ships, except the hospital patient lying in bed and sitting on the bed edge: 1,175 frames and expression images.
The outfit layers as they ship, hat and top, facing the camera. Alone they show only the hat and the jumper or scarf. Item sheets on this page carry a "SAMPLE" watermark; the files you download have none. Shown at 2×.

Good to know
So you know exactly what you're getting.
- Interior decorations only: no snow ground, no falling snow, no outdoor pieces, no window or door-glass decals. No fireplace, stockings or armchair.
- Signs and boards are blank, for your own text.
- Counter items sit on the counters of our tea shop and convenience store, the tea shop tables, the hospital counter, office desk and reception desk, and this pack's display table; xmas_GUIDE.txt gives each lift.
- Garland and string lights can run over any single door of our three shop packs. End the run before the hospital's double ward door, air conditioner or air freshener. Hang a wreath beside a door, not on it.
- On wall items the lights face the room: the N, E and W images show the back or the edge, where the bulbs may be hidden.
- Santa and the elf: talking, idling and waving face the camera only. No sack, no handing a gift over, no running or lying down; one standing frame per direction. To stand up, play the sit-down frames backwards.
- Santa shares his body shape with one of the shoppers in our convenience store pack. Don't stand the two side by side.
- Outfit layers fit version 1.0 of the three shop packs. The hospital patient lying in bed or sitting on the bed edge has no layers; use the plain frames there.
- No project files for Tiled, Godot, Unity or GameMaker, and no import test in a specific game framework yet.
- Own one of our other packs too? Every top-level file and folder here starts with xmas_, so this pack never overwrites a file from our other packs.

Questions
Do I need one of your shop packs?
Only for the festive outfit layers. The decorations, the festive corner kit, Santa and the elf work on their own. The outfit layers are hats, jumpers and scarves drawn to sit on the characters of Modern Hospital, Modern Bubble Tea Shop and Modern Convenience Store; without those packs there is no character to dress.
Will the decorations fit my own 32px game?
They are drawn on a 32 px grid for 3/4 top-down rooms with an 80 px wall face, light from the top left. xmas_GUIDE.txt gives every anchor, footprint and wall height so you can check them against your own art. The counter and wall numbers in the guide are measured on our three shop packs only.
What do I get in the download?
Transparent PNG sprite sheets, every frame, sprite and light state as its own PNG, 7 tilesets, and xmas_GUIDE.txt with all the placement numbers. No project files for a specific game framework are included.
Can I scale it up?
Yes. Scale by whole numbers (2×, 3×, 4×) with nearest-neighbour filtering to keep the pixels sharp.
