A vintage film countdown intro that brings classic Hollywood charm to your Christmas and New Year greetings.

Unveil your Xmas holiday message in style with this festive Christmas countdown opener for After Effects. Built around a retro film leader aesthetic, the template counts down from six with authentic film grain, light leaks, and scratch overlays that give it that unmistakable old-school cinema feel.

An animated deer silhouette dashes dynamically across the countdown numbers, guiding viewers into a vibrant, sparkling logo reveal. The sequence wraps up with fully customizable greeting text — think "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year" — displayed against a shimmering backdrop of golden stars.

Perfect for:

• Seasonal event intros
• Holiday greetings and announcements
• Celebratory video openers
• Christmas and New Year social content
