                  If you\u2019re counting down the sleeps until you wake up on Christmas morning, then these Christmas countdown images are for you! Make the calendars your Christmas background wallpaper, so you\u2019ll be able to count down the days in festive style.<\/p>\n

                  Not finding the right calendar for you? You can easily make your own custom Christmas calendar image in the PicsArt editor<\/a> by picking your favorite background and adding a calendar sticker on it. Simply search for \u201cDecember calendar\u201d or \u201cDecember 2020\u201d in the Stickers tool (on the left panel in the desktop editor or in the bottom toolbar in-app). Top it off with snowflake brushes<\/a>, COZY or ICY filters, snow masks, Christmas fonts<\/a>, and holiday stickers to make it really shine!<\/p>\n

                    \n
