Jetpack is the most popular plugin which contains lots of modules likes Site Stats, Publicize, Sharing, Comments, and Sitemaps etc. If you already installed Jetpack, you don’t need to install other plugins to display snowfall effect, you just need to activate the module called Holiday Snow. Most of the Jetpack users don’t know about this module. Once you activate this module the snowfalls starts displaying on your site in the holiday period.

Displaying Snowfall with Jetpack is Straight forward. You just need to activate the Holiday Snow module. The main drawback of this plugin is that it doesn’t have settings to control the snow.

You can enable this feature alternatively by checking the Snow check box under General Settings of your WordPress dashboard.
