Why Is It Essential to Prepare the Website for Christmas Holidays?
The holiday season, especially Christmas, is the best time to sell more products and services, drive new customers, and present the brand from the best angle. You better come prepared and devise a winning optimization strategy for winning over the customers.
For starters, why not refresh the homepage design a bit? You can use one or multiple Christmas widgets to make your site more engaging, festive, and enjoyable. Next, you will learn about a few widgets from JetPlugins that will help you quickly add some holiday elements to your website and prepare it for Christmas.
Run Run Rudolph

The dotted numbers look like tiny snowflakes! Be creative while trying out different Christmas widgets ideas, and use our jolly examples below for inspiration.
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like… Hotspot
Help Santa Mamas and Santa Dadas shop for Christmas using the Hotspots widget from JetTricks.

This way, you will help users learn more about each product and make the shop more customer-friendly.
The Most Wonderful Time of The Year
Let your achievements speak for themselves! The hot Christmas season is the best time to tell the world about them using the Image Comparison widget.

You can’t help singing when you discover that the Section Parallax widget makes your website look fairy-tale. Look at the samples and get inspired. It can melt even Mr.Grinch’s heart!
Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow
