We are halfway through December already, and this month stands for one thing in particular—yes, the holiday season! Festivity sure is in the air.
Today, we put together some of the best free WordPress holiday themes. We noticed that most of the other holiday theme roundups, and the seasonal themes listed in the WordPress repository, are dominated by themes that were last updated in 2010, or even earlier!
Not wanting to leave you stuck with remnants of yesteryear, this roundup includes themes that have been updated in the past 12 months.
