If you need to download audios that are suitable for the Christmas slideshow, you can enter Christmas into the search box or find it on Genres > Novelty > Holiday > Christmas. Besides Christmas music, Users can download other audios with different categories.

MelodyLoops

MelodyLoops is another recommended royalty-free Christmas slideshow music download website. Users can find Christmas on the top navigation bar via For > Christmas. There are 349 audio files for users to listen to and download. However, you cannot download audio from this website for free.
