The default WLED Christmas presets are... not great. If you prefer the elegance of the built-in "Sunset" gradient over seizure-inducing candy cane strobes, these are for you.
| Preset | Description |
|---|---|
| Christmas Ember | Deep burgundy → orange → wine, slow gradient flow |
| Mulled Wine | Rich plum and burgundy with warm accents |
| Evergreen & Gold | Forest green + champagne gold + warm white |
| Champagne Glow | Warm whites with soft gold sparkles |
| Winter Jewels | Sapphire, teal, and ruby aurora sweep |
| Candlelight Eve | Heavy warm white with amber flicker |
| Cranberry Frost | Pink-red, berry tones with soft white |
| Midnight Forest | Deep emerald with forest shadows |
| Spiced Cider | Burnt orange, amber, warm gold |
| Royal Velvet | Deep purple, magenta, plum gradient |
| Gilded Pine | Green with gold twinkles |
Plus an "Elegant Christmas" playlist (preset 250) that rotates through all of them with smooth 4-second crossfades.
