Hi everyone, today’s post will teach you how to use HTML and CSS to make a Christmas animation. Initially, we must prepare the idea to be new. It takes some javascript code to optimize the efficiency and stability of the code, and JS contains certain animated libraries, to create a Christmas animation effect using HTML and CSS. This HTML and CSS Christmas animation will animate similarly to an animated Christmas tree drawing.

Live Preview Of Animated Christmas Tree

I’m providing a live preview of this project to see the animation in action and ensure it functions properly across the board. Below is an embed of the live preview.

The SVG tag with path and its semantic components, such as mask, circle, and many more, are contained in the above HTML code. A polygon was utilized to draw the Christmas tree. This HTML code is fully structured, fully configurable, and comprehensible thanks to the use of HTML and CSS. You must pay attention to and comprehend the entire code if you wish to alter, add, or remove any components.

CSS Code

Firstly, we must link the CSS. There are two ways to do this: internal or external. I'm using internal CSS, which is <style></style>. You can also use external CSS, which requires <link rel='stylesheet' href='file_path.css'/>.Let's begin developing CSS code now.
body {
  background-color:#151522;
  overflow: hidden;
    display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center; 
}

body,
html {
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}


svg{
  width:90%;
  height:90%;
  visibility:hidden;
 
}

.sparkle{
  /* mix-blend-mode:luminosity */
}

Javascript Code

I believe you all understand how important JavaScript is to producing the best animation, so let’s use it to style the document object model. This means that we will control all CSS through the DOM, and we’ll also use the Gsap animation library to animate the SVG and its components. Thus, the Javascript Code Is Here.

MorphSVGPlugin.convertToPath('polygon');
var xmlns = "http://www.w3.org/2000/svg",
  xlinkns = "http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink",
select = function(s) {
    return document.querySelector(s);
  },
  selectAll = function(s) {
    return document.querySelectorAll(s);
  },
  pContainer = select('.pContainer'),
  mainSVG = select('.mainSVG'),
  star = select('#star'),
  sparkle = select('.sparkle'),
  tree = select('#tree'),
  showParticle = true,

Conclusion

I hope this Christmas project has taught you a lot. If you have made it, I also hope you had a great time creating it. We have attempted to cover all the fundamentals of technology and syntax in this project so you can understand how projects are built and animations work, among other things. You can share this project with your friends if you think it’s good.

Is it possible for me to Change Christmas tree’s animation?

Perhaps in the affirmative or negative Additionally, since a complete Christmas tree depends on SVG drawing animation, it can be difficult for you if you’re just starting off.

Can I add extra leaves or anything else to the Christmas tree?

Without a doubt, you may modify or add to this Christmas tree.

Is JavaScript used in this project?

Yes, I did add some JavaScript to animate the tree, the same as I did with SVG and Path.
