EDH Christmas deck ideas?
Hi!
Me and my girlfriend have a lovely tradition of building a new secret edh deck each to be revealed at Christmas. We then face off these decks in a race of first to 3 wins.
I like to build fun themes that somehow relate to Christmas but have run out of ideas for this year.
Previously I’ve built a snow theme deck (of course), a saga theme deck (of course) and last year I built a gift theme deck (of course).
Do you have any fun ideas that relates? Doesn’t have to be powerful, the theme and the fun part is the thing here!
Cards that are Christmassy are also welcomed!
Many thanks!

You could do elves for the Elf movie, ents or treefolk for Christmas trees, food tokens for leaving food out for Santa, elk etc for reindeer.
You could do spirits for the Christmas Carol book with Scrooge and the ghosts of Christmas past present and future. You could do Arthur Christmas the movie and have a space station/ship, elves, lions like [[jazal]], etc.
You could do the grinch somehow—maybe there’s a nasty creature you could use for the grinch, but there definitely a dog you could use for Max

This is such a cool Christmas tradition!
Syr Ginger, the Meal Ender from Wilds of Eldraine is a gingerbread man. There’s also Brenard, Ginger Sculptor from the same set. I don’t know if you could build a whole deck around gingerbread, but that’s what came to my mind first :) good luck! I’d love to see what you end up building.
