Introduction
Add a polished seasonal snowfall to any Joomla page — with crisp SVG flakes, ready-made presets, and motion you actually control.
Christmas Snowfall 1.7 is a full rebuild for Joomla 4, Joomla 5, and Joomla 6. It replaces the legacy jQuery snowfall stack with a fast, accessible, vanilla-JS overlay powered by the Web Asset Manager.
Whether you run a holiday landing page, winter campaign, storefront promo, church event site, or school Christmas programme, Christmas Snowfall sets the mood without slowing the site or blocking clicks.
Why site owners choose it
- More than white dots — eleven vector shapes, from classic snowflakes to trees, gifts, stars, and candy canes
- Presets that ship fast — Classic Snow, Festive Mix, Golden Stars, Soft Flurry, Midnight Sparkle, Candy Wonderland, or Custom Mix
- Brand-friendly colour — primary and secondary tints so the storm matches your palette
- Motion you dial in — density, size, speed, wind drift, opacity, soft shadow, glow, and rotation
- Kind to phones — mobile density scaling keeps the effect smooth on smaller screens
- Respectful by default — reduced-motion support and pause when the browser tab is hidden
- Never in the way — full-page overlay with
pointer-events: none, so menus, forms, and buttons stay clickable - Future-ready stack — namespaced module services, no jQuery, built for Joomla 4 / 5 / 6 and PHP 8+
Built for real websites
Agencies need a Christmas look that feels designed, not tacked on. Shops need seasonal atmosphere without burying product CTAs. Schools and churches need something cheerful that still works on phones. Christmas Snowfall covers those use cases with one lightweight module and clean front-end code.
Use Classic Snow for soft white flakes, Festive Mix for trees and gifts with a pine accent, Golden Stars for warm sparkle nights, Soft Flurry for a subtle winter mood, and Candy Wonderland for playful lavender and teal shapes. Pick Custom Mix when you want exact control over which shapes fall.
