I always find Pinkfresh to be kind of sterile but I keep buying it for the challenge of working with it. So much white and pastels.
That being said, I like the papers with greenery on them, and the Merry Christmas paper. I also think the ephemera is pretty decent.
I like both of the alphabets but I always like Pinkfresh's alphabets.
I think I'll buy a few pieces to mix in with my other two Pinkfresh Christmas collections.

I will buy several of the papers: fa la la(for the stars), happy holidays, seasons greetings, ephemera pack, puffy stickers, cardstock stickers, mini alpha, and dots.
I like that is goes well with last year's line.

I like the patterned papers but I feel like they are all so large scale. Normally with Pinkfresh, I am head over heels for the patterned paper and can take or leave the embellishments, but this time I feel like I could get more use from the extras than the papers.

Too cutesy for me. I do like the plaids, though.

I love it. I still have a lot left from last year's and think it will coordinate nicely. I should probably just use up last year's, though, instead of adding more to it lol.
I think my number one choice for Christmas collections this year is still EP's White Christmas.

Pinkfresh is currently my favorite manufacturer, but this is an easy pass for me. I much prefer the last two Christmas lines they put out. Luckily I still have some left in my stash, and I can save $$ as we wait to see what PP, AE and other smaller companies will offer

This almost feels sacrilegious for me but I think I dislike just about everything in this. That light green shade is incredibly overpowering. Many of the patterns are boring imo and the few of the a-sides look like they should have been b-sides All very... plain. All in all very forgettable.. happy for my wallet though lol The ephemera has a snowglobe that makes me wish I'd bought their diy snowglobe ephemera from 2019 so that's bittersweet lol As a positive the alphas and enamels as always are great though!

Yep. I don’t care for the patterns or the color combos at all. Easy pass. I LOVED some of their previous Christmas collections, so it makes me sad that this is a big miss.

I'm in the #completemiss group on this one. I want to love Pinkfresh and had my fingers crossed as I clicked the link but the colours are too muted and the patterns too big and blah. Even the alphas don't tickle my fancy

I like the paper with the yellow stars, but that's it. Those papers are tough to use as backgrounds.
On the other hand, I think the ephemera pack has some good basics if you're scrapping on white cardstock, but I won't be getting it b/c not my holiday.
So, papers mostly no; ephemera gets an okay.

I had high hopes as I've picked up some pieces the last couple of years and appreciate the bright white backgrounds and the addition of the non-traditional colours which always seem to work better with my Christmas photos. I am definitely disappointed.

I love the Deck the Halls and Holly Jolly papers. It isn't a must buy right away either.

There are a couple of things I like about this line, such as the atypical color scheme for the holidays and more foliage as opposed to actual flowers, but... I don't know... it seems a little boring to me.

it seems a little boring to me. This sums it perfectly, it’s just boring.

it seems a little boring to me. That's what I was thinking too...sad! I was pretty excited about this. I am glad I got as much of the last year's line as I did, because I don't really care for this.

It's fine. It's not for me. I am really picky about Christmas stuff since I already have so much. If I get some of this in a future mystery box from Pinkfresh it won't be the end of the world, but I have no interest in buying it. I am a pretty big Pinkfresh fan, by the way, but their Christmas stuff is almost always a miss for me. I think it's weird that they don't do something bold and innovative once in a while with Christmas stuff as they have in some of their other lines in the past.

My favourite is the soft green thicker letters, and I like the blue snowflake papers, but would probably use them for general winter LO's.

I like their older Christmas collections much better but there are a few papers that are nice.

Thanks for your responses. I don't like the Crate Paper-esque irregular/handdrawn icons & scrawly fonts or bold yellow & salmon (which also echoes my thoughts about the color palette of PF Holiday Magic collection released last year). I do, however, like the (sans yellow) multicolor plaid pattern (Noel), but it's not a must have.

I’m a sucker for ‘Lacey’ foliage. Love all the blue papers. These would be nice additions to the papers I’m already hoarding. Yet, I do not need a single solitary Christmas or Winter thing. If the lss carry’s any of these papers I’ll probably choose a few. Of course I will.
