Christmas Night (Template 272) is a free full-site HTML/CSS template from Templatemo, built around a dark blue night-sky theme and a Flash-based homepage slider, designed for static holiday and winter-themed websites.
What is Christmas Night Template?
Christmas Night is a complete HTML/CSS website layout published by Templatemo on 04 December 2010 as "272 Christmas Night". It takes no server-side input — you download the ZIP file, edit the HTML and CSS, and upload the files to any web host. The output is a fully static multi-column site: the template is tagged as a 3-column layout and includes designed header and footer graphics that use a dark blue sky color theme. The homepage includes a Flash slider, a now-obsolete technology, so the animated component only works where Flash is supported.
Key Features
- Dark blue night-sky theme — The header and footer graphics are designed with a deep blue palette, giving the template a distinct Christmas-night atmosphere.
- Homepage Flash slider — A rotating image slider runs on the homepage; it requires the Flash player, which is no longer supported by modern web browsers.
- 3-column page structure — The template is tagged "3-column", with separate content areas for main content and side columns.
- 100% free for any use — You may download, edit, and use the template for commercial or non-commercial websites without payment, as stated on the Templatemo page.
- Static HTML/CSS layout — No programming language or database is required; the template runs on any static web server.
- ZIP download — The template is delivered as a single ZIP file, with a live demo and full-size screenshot available for preview.
Who is it for?
- Individuals setting up a seasonal holiday site — Use the ready-made Christmas night visual theme to launch a personal or family holiday page quickly.
- Small businesses and shops — Create a temporary winter-promotion landing page around the dark blue and festive graphics without hiring a designer.
- Web developers and designers — Download the layout as a starting point and customize the HTML/CSS, since the source files are open for editing and the template is free to reuse.
What can you do with it?
- Seasonal campaign pages — Publish a Christmas-themed promotional page for a retail store or cafe, using the 3-column layout to separate offers, news, and contact info.
- Non-profit or community holiday events — Present event details, a message, and images through the built-in Flash slider area (replacing the slider with static images for modern browsers).
- Web design practice — Study a structurally complete older HTML/CSS layout from 2010 to learn how multi-column static sites were built before frameworks.
FAQ
Is Christmas Night Template free?
Yes, the template is 100% free to download and use. The Templatemo page explicitly says you are allowed to download, edit, and use it for commercial or non-commercial sites.
Does the homepage Flash slider still work?
No. The slider was built with Adobe Flash, whose support ended in 2020, and modern browsers do not play Flash content. On a current browser the slider area will not animate, so you would need to replace it with a plain image or a modern HTML/CSS slider.
What do I get when I download it?
You get a ZIP file containing the HTML and CSS files for the full site. The page also links to a live demo and a full-size screenshot so you can preview the layout before downloading.
How old is this template?
It was added to Templatemo on 04 December 2010. Because it is a static HTML/CSS layout from that era, it does not use responsive design, modern build tools, or framework code.
