Snow Background For PowerPoint With A Glittering Ground And Star Garland

This background is for a holiday slide that wants to feel like standing outside on a clear winter night. A garland of icy blue snowflakes and strung fairy lights hangs across the very top of the frame, while the ground below sparkles with dense, glittering snow that catches soft blue and gold bokeh. Free, HD, and watermark-free for PowerPoint or Google Slides.

What This Snow Background Looks Like

Detailed blue snowflakes of different sizes hang from thin strings across the top edge, tangled together with warm gold star-shaped lights that burst with sharp points of light. Below that garland, the sky opens into a softer field of blue bokeh circles drifting down toward a glittering ground.

The bottom of the frame is dense with tiny sparkling points, like light catching real snow or glitter scattered across a dark surface, giving the whole scene a sense of depth from ground level up into the night sky.

Where This Background Fits

This suits Christmas and holiday party invitations, New Year’s Eve presentations, winter corporate year-end decks, gift guide or seasonal sale slides, and any title screen that wants festive sparkle without a literal Christmas tree or ornament.

Design Choices Behind This Garland And Ground

I hung the snowflakes and lights only along the top edge, rather than framing all four sides, because it reads more like looking up at an actual string of holiday lights than a decorative border. That choice leaves the vertical middle of the frame open as a natural transition zone between garland and ground.

Mixing warm gold star bursts into the cool blue snowflakes was deliberate too. A single-temperature palette would have felt flatter; letting the warm lights punch through the blue gives the piece the same glow you’d get from real string lights against a winter sky. The dense glitter ground anchors the whole thing, so it never floats without a sense of place.

Legibility Tip for This Background

Keep your text in the softer bokeh zone between the garland and the ground, clear of both the busy top edge and the dense sparkle at the bottom. White or pale gold text with a soft shadow holds up well against the blue bokeh there.
