Pattern description
This 80x119 counted cross-stitch pattern captures the nostalgic charm of retro video-game art with a holiday twist. Santa stands center-stage in his classic red suit with a white-trimmed belt, flanked by a cheerful brown reindeer, while snowy pines and a bright blue sky frame the cheerful winter tableau. The intermediate skill level makes it accessible for stitchers with some experience, requiring 17 DMC thread colors to bring the playful, blocky characters to life on Aida fabric. Perfect for holiday decoration or as a gift for retro-gaming and Christmas enthusiasts alike, this pattern delivers genuine seasonal cheer without sacrificing modern appeal. The crisp color contrast and pixel-perfect composition translate beautifully to counted cross-stitch, creating a finished piece that celebrates both vintage charm and festive joy. Whether framed as a small ornament or displayed as part of a holiday needlework collection, this design bridges nostalgia and celebration.
Stitch planning checklist
- Measure your fabric against the stitch count to confirm finished size.
- Sort floss by symbol before you start; pre-thread a few needles for speed.
- Work in small blocks to keep counting accurate and spot mistakes early.
- Backstitch at the end of each session so outlines stay crisp.
