Every Christmas kaomoji here is plain text, with no picture emoji in it. The first has snowflakes for eyes: (❅‿❅). Snowmen, parcels, pine trees and a beard under a pointed hat follow. Tap a face and it is copied.

Snowflake kaomoji: three flakes to choose from
Unicode has three snowflake characters and all three are here: ❄ snowflake, ❅ tight trifoliate snowflake and ❆ heavy chevron snowflake. ❄ is also on the emoji list, so some devices draw it as a small picture. ❅ and ❆ are not on it, and stay plain text.
Winter kaomoji, no Christmas
Winter, no Christmas keeps the 58 faces with snow, a snowman or a pine and nothing festive: no parcel and no beard. The parcel is ⊞, a maths sign named squared plus, which looks like a box tied with string.
Search snowman for the built one, ―(●▷●)―: coal eyes, a carrot nose and twig arms.
Fifteen faces carry a word. Wiktionary gives merikuri as a clipping of merry Christmas and yukigassen as a snowball fight.
No tree here has a star on top: every face with a star is on star kaomoji.
Questions and answers
How do you put a snowflake in a kaomoji?
Put a snowflake character where the eyes go, as in (❄‿❄), or one each side of any face, as in ❅(^‿^)❅. A keyboard has no snowflake key, so tap a face here to copy it.
Why does my snowflake turn into a small picture?
❄ and ☃ have the Emoji property in Unicode, so a device may draw them from its emoji font. The label under each face says when that applies. For flakes that stay plain text, pick a face with ❅ or ❆.
Is there a Santa kaomoji?
Upright, it is a hat and a beard: ▲(^灬^), where ▲ is a triangle and 灬 is a Han character of four short strokes. The sideways Santa smiley is on the text faces page.
What does メリクリ mean?
Merikuri: merry Christmas, cut short. Wiktionary lists it as a clipping of メリークリスマス, merī Kurisumasu, which is here too.

How this list was compiled: The entries are this site's own selection and arrangement: each was put together for this page from the parts a kaomoji is made of, with a snowflake, a snowman, a parcel, a pine tree or a hat and beard as the prop. Some are forms in common use that nobody owns. The labels, groups and order are this site's own. No face here is on another kaomoji page of this site. A face with a star is on the star page, so no tree here has one on top, and the sideways Santa smiley is on the text faces page. Reindeer are animals and are left to the animal pages. Unicode has three snowflake characters in its Dingbats block: ❄ snowflake (U+2744), ❅ tight trifoliate snowflake (U+2745) and ❆ heavy chevron snowflake (U+2746); ☃ is snowman (U+2603) and ⛇ black snowman (U+26C7). The parcel is ⊞, squared plus (U+229E), or ⋈, bowtie (U+22C8), in square brackets; the pine is ↟, upwards two headed arrow (U+219F). The Unihan database, version 18.0.0, defines 灬, U+706C, the beard here, as fire, a radical. The Japanese words come from Wiktionary, each entry read 2026-09-30: merī Kurisumasu, merry Christmas (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/メリークリスマス); merikuri, a clipping of the same (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/メリクリ); Santa, short for Santa Claus (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/サンタ); purezento, a present, a gift (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/プレゼント); yukidaruma, a snowman (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/雪だるま); yuki, snow (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/雪); hatsuyuki, the first snow of the winter season (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/初雪); yukigassen, a snowball fight (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/雪合戦); seiya, Christmas Eve (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/聖夜); fuyu, winter (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/冬); shinshin, falling heavily, of rain or snow (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/しんしん); samui, cold (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/寒い). Every character of every entry was looked up in UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt), and must be an assigned, visible character. Emoji shown as pictures by default are left out, the snowman without snow among them. No entry uses a character from outside the blocks of punctuation, common symbols and Latin, Greek, Cyrillic and Japanese letters. "Is on the emoji list" names each character that has the Emoji property in emoji-data.txt, version 18.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-data.txt): here ❄ and ☃, which some devices therefore draw as small pictures. "Short" means 6 code points or fewer, spaces counted. Nothing here says how any one device draws a face. Licence: own work
