Good free holiday video templates are hard to find. Most free packs are dated, low resolution or covered in watermarks. We went through every free holiday video template in the catalog and kept the 10 that are worth using this season.
All 10 are free to download. They cover After Effects, Premiere Pro, and ready-made clips that work in any editor.

How we picked these templates
We went through every free holiday video template in the catalog and watched each preview. We kept the ones that look current and are quick to customize, and left out anything dated or carrying another marketplace's watermark in its preview. That left 10.
