How to use Christmas sounds well

  • Use a bell or chime as an accent right before a reveal, then a soft shimmer on the reveal.
  • Pick one or two festive sounds per scene, instead of layering many.
  • Use wrapping paper sounds for unboxing and gift-reveal videos.
  • Add snow and wind under outdoor scenes for a wintry atmosphere.
