Thanks for sharing such a nice information. There are thousands of themes available but the lists you shared are best ones. I liked most Countdown clock. As a WordPress developer i rarely had chance to use Christmas themes for my client. But this year through your post I have suggested many clients to use this theme.
Thanks

I’m trying some plugins you suggest, Christmas is really here!
Thank you!
I found a nice theme with extra Christmas style, but it’s for WooCommerce and has more than what I need for my new blog, and quite expensive too :( Do you know what plugins I should use to get this big counter and styled menus like it: http://www.woorockets.com/
My bad, I pasted wrong url in the previous comment, here is the theme I found: http://www.woorockets.com/themes/emax/
