Seasonal Effects Hub – Animated Holiday Themes for Your XenForo Community​


Bring your forum to life with beautiful seasonal animations! ❄️🎃💘🦃


Looking to add some holiday flair to your XenForo forum?
Seasonal Effects Hub is a lightweight, customizable add-on that adds animated effects for multiple holidays throughout the year — all selectable from the Admin Control Panel.


Perfect for creating atmosphere, running events, or adding a festive touch during special times of the year.



Choose from three different snow styles:

  • Light gentle snow
  • Heavy drifting snow
  • Magical sparkly winter overlay
Add a romantic vibe with floating heart animations, now using customizable heart images.

Celebrate the fall season with drifting autumn leaves using real leaf images.

Spookify your forum with animated flying bats and a subtle Halloween glow overlay.

More holidays coming soon!


Choose the current holiday effect via:
ACP → Setup → Options → Seasonal Effects Hub

Available choices:
  • None (Disabled)
  • Winter / Christmas
  • Valentine’s Day
  • Thanksgiving
  • Halloween

Some holidays have multiple variations (like the 3 winter modes).
You can choose the effect style under the same option group.


The add-on overlays effects without modifying any templates.
