‘Tis the season for holiday spirit, and what better way to nurture this than by making the most out of your virtual backgrounds for online classes, meetings, and casual catch-ups? Get yourself, your co-workers, classmates, teachers, bosses, and friends excited for the holidays by using these as your backgrounds the next time you enter a call.
September has come which officially means that his time is now. Who wouldn’t want to be seated beside Jose Mari Chan during Christmas time?
Take inspiration from TV Patrol and provide your classmates and co-workers with a daily reminder to begin decking the halls with boughs of holly. Countdown every day that brings us closer and closer to the holidays.
Home is where the heart is, even if you are Home Alone.
Please take note that “the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear.” (maybe double check if you’re on mute though first)
Although it’s already getting to be Christmas time, let’s not forget that Halloween must still come first. If Christmas is Jose Mari Chan’s time to shine, then Halloween is definitely Tim Burton’s.
Bonus points for The Nightmare Before Christmas being relevant during both Halloween and Christmas time.
Remind yourself that you’re a work of art and that it’s almost Halloween by joining Edward Scissorhand’s statue collection.
Don’t lie, this movie creeped you out too…
Embody your inner May Queen/King and be the center of attention with this background.
There are some movies that don’t necessarily include/revolve around Christmas or Halloween but are still must-watches for the holidays as well.
Why have class at home when you can have it in the magical and mystical worlds of Studio Ghibli?
At least you don’t have to sew buttons into your eyes to use this virtual background.
Hopefully this inspired you to use a more festive background in your next call, or maybe it gave you some ideas for other background references. Regardless of if you celebrate Halloween or Christmas, we wish you a happy holiday season ahead!
