How to set a Christmas live wallpaper on Mac
- Download MacWall and drag it to Applications. It runs on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs with macOS 15 or later (for Mac only, not Windows).
- Pick any Christmas wallpaper above to preview the loop, its resolution, and its length.
- Choose Set on Mac. MacWall opens that wallpaper and applies it to your desktop, on one display or all of them.
- Optional: with Pro on macOS 26 (Tahoe) or later, use the same loop on your Lock Screen and as a Screen Saver.
Why Christmas wallpapers look better in MacWall
- Real video, not a GIF: loops play at full frame rate and up to 4K, decoded on Apple's media engine instead of the CPU.
- Battery-aware: Pause behind full-screen apps is on by default, and playback stops while the display sleeps. Turn on Pause on battery and it holds the frame whenever your Mac is unplugged and plays again when you plug it in. See live wallpaper CPU and battery use.
- Every display: sync one loop across monitors or give each screen its own wallpaper.
- One payment: every Mac gets a free 24-hour trial; the full catalog then stays unlocked with a one-time Pro license, no subscription. See pricing for your region.
