This background is for a slide that wants to feel like stepping into a quiet, magical winter night. A snow-covered path stretches straight through a forest of frosted trees, lined on both sides by glowing lampposts, under a deep blue night sky drifting with snowflakes. Free, HD, and watermark-free for PowerPoint or Google Slides.
What This Winter Background Looks Like
Rows of tall, snow-laden trees arch inward from both sides, their bare branches heavy with frost, while a line of warm lampposts glows steadily down the path toward a bright, hazy light in the far distance.
Small snow-covered pines sit at the base of a few trees, each one lit from within by a soft golden glow. Large, soft snowflakes drift throughout the frame, blurred into gentle points of light against the cool blue haze of the forest.
Where This Background Fits
This works well for holiday and Christmas event slides, winter storytelling or fantasy content, travel and destination presentations, or any title screen that wants a quiet, cinematic winter mood.
Design Choices Behind This Snowy Forest Path
I built the path dead center and perfectly symmetrical on purpose, since a straight vanishing point immediately reads as inviting rather than eerie, even at night. The lampposts do double duty here: they light the scene and act as a visual guide pulling the eye straight down the path toward the glow at the end.
I leaned into a deep blue color grade for the forest and sky, then let every lamp and lit pine glow warm gold against it. That contrast between cold blue and warm light is what gives the scene its magical, almost fairy-tale quality, rather than just looking like a cold winter photo.

Legibility Tip for This Background
Keep your text along the upper portion of the path or over the sky, where the blue tone stays fairly even. White or pale gold text with a soft shadow will hold up well against both the blue forest and the warm lamp glow.
