Christmas is a gift for designers, with so many rich colours and festive motifs to play with.

Those promoting an event at this time of year can really go to town with their marketing materials making them as visually appealing as possible.

To inspire your own efforts, we’ve compiled a list of 20 Eventbrite events utilising gorgeous graphics or fab photos to put their potential attendees in the Christmas spirit…

1. Battersea Dogs and Cats Home Christmas Carol Concert
   

Everybody say “ahh”. Who can resist a lovely little doggy at Christmas? Going for the cute factor is one sure fire way to win clicks for your event.

2. The Church Christmas Boat Party

Injecting an element of comedy into your imagery can express the character of your event. The Church wants everyone to dress in Santa suits for its boat party… who the random man pictured on the masks is, is anyone’s guess!

3. The HelloFresh Christmas Bash

HelloFresh has charmingly depicted the festivities that will take place at its ‘Christmas Bash’ where guests will be able to tuck into Christmas canapés, taste wine and meet local producers.

4. Crystal Bavarian Christmas

Here’s a tasty looking venue. The Crystal Bavarian Christmas event promises a street market with delicious food and drink, and by the looks of it you might be able to have a nibble on the décor too!

5. A Christmas Cracker

This brilliant visual has so much going on, you simply have to pause and have a proper look. What with flying chickens and a one-eyed donkey, one can only speculate as to the story of this new play!

6. Mountview’s Christmas Concert 2015

It’s not only the festive sparkle of this picture that grabs the attention, you’ve also got to wonder how they got the fireworks to take on the form of a musical note. 10 points for creativity!

7. #LoveChristmas Storehouse Christmas Party

Christmas doesn’t always have to be about reds and golds and whites and silvers, this graphic looks great in purple, pinks and turquoise.

8. UBREW Christmas Tap Takeover

A Christmas image that’s a little bit different to promote an event that’s a little bit different. The UBREW Christmas Tap Takeover sees the brewery’s members serve up some curious Christmas creations such as Apple Strudel Stout and Honey and Thyme Saison.

9. Dark Rose for Christmas

The 70s styling of this enchanting graphic promoting a poetry concert with Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy takes us back to Christmases past. Christmas records on the record player, knitted jumpers from Nan and satsumas in your stocking. You can’t beat a bit of nostalgia!

10. Salon: Christmas Party

Skulls are usually more of a Halloween thing than they are Christmas, but the organisers of this party haven’t got their seasons in a muddle, Salon:Collective is a community of actors specialising in Shakespeare, so they’ve given Yorik a festive makeover in the Bard’s honour!

11. Children’s Christmas Charity Disco

Images drawn by children always have a certain charm, and this child-like design is as effective in its simplicity as something far more complex could be.

12. The House of St Barnabas Christmas Fundraising Concert

It’s unclear what exactly is going on here with poor old Rudolf’s nose, but with its artistic style this image is undoubtedly eye-catching, if not a little odd.

13. Christmas Adventures – Family Concert with Leo Geyer

This cartoon rendering of a scene from ‘The Nutcracker’ beautifully sums up the magic and romance of the festive period. You can almost hear the music just looking at it.

14. Skandilicious Swedish Christmas Pop Up Restaurant

Food is always a great choice for Christmas imagery, but the organisers of this event have taken it a step further and fused food with patriotism with a unique blue and yellow Christmas pud.

15. Christmas Calligraphy Volunteering Event

The different fronts used in this graphic really grab the attention, and perfectly illustrate the nature of this event, which is focused on sharing calligraphy skills.

16. Small Charities Coalition Christmas Party

Back to animals again… but this image combines the cute and cuddly, with the comic. A winning combo!

17. The Research Club London Christmas Party

Nothing says Christmas in London quite like the lights of Oxford Street. This beautiful image instantly brings to mind the smell of roasting chestnuts and the rustle of bags filled with Christmas goodies!

18. Late Night Shopping at the London Review Bookshop

More food… this time a mountain of mince pies, topped off by reindeers – can you get any more Christmassy?!

19. The King’s School Infants Christmas Play

This image takes us back to what it’s all about, but its beautiful colours and simplistic styling make it more appealing than some traditional religious imagery.

20. A Fairytale Christmas

Borrowing classic fairytale imagery, this image perfectly captures the magic of Christmas. The event offers children the chance to meet with their favourite fairytale characters, and looking at this storybook picture it’s is bound to have a happy ending!

Conclusion

Have fun with your Christmas design and be sure to capture all the joy and colour of the season.
