The holiday season is the best time of year for festive free Christmas fonts. Especially if you’re crafty or looking for a way to stand out on social media. My favorite thing about Christmas fonts is how fun they are and how much they can truly jazz up something simple. You can make stand-out stories on IG, craft something cool from Cricut, or make custom holiday cards for family and friends online with Canva.
If you’re anything like me, you might even feel the magic of those super cute Christmas fonts when big retailers use them in advertisements. There is something truly special about finding the perfect font. To me, fonts are a language all their own and I love them.
Today, I’m sharing 5 free festive Christmas fonts from dafont.com. If you’re new here let me tell you that dafont.com is my favorite database for fonts.

Most people turn a suspicious eye when I tell them it’s free. You’re probably thinking there’s got to be a catch but there isn’t. The fonts you find here are for personal use however most creators will upload a file with the option to purchase a commercial use license. It’s also just a guess but, dafont may-be using ad revenue to cover their operating costs instead of charging its users. And we love that for them.
I’ve never had an issue with downloading and using fonts from Dafont. It’s a perfectly safe and reputable place to find fonts.

Now, if you don’t have your own font but are interested in making on Dafont has you covered. Dafont have several resources to help get you started. You can check them out under the ‘tools‘ section. However, it’s important to note these software’s aren’t free. With a search around the web, you should be able to find ones that are though.
Also, you should note that creating fonts isn’t as simple or fun as it sounds. You’ll need a little skill and even more patience. I tried to make my own font once and gave up. I’m wishing you all the luck there is though!
