Using Seasonal Themes Year-Round – Smore

Previously, seasonal themes were only available during a specific time of year. For example, the Pumpkin theme could only be used in October, and the Snowflake theme was restricted to December. If you wanted to use a theme outside its season, there was no way to do it.

You can now use any of Smore's seasonal themes at any time of year, no more waiting for the right season to roll around. Whether you're planning for the holidays or sending a Valentine's-themed newsletter in January, every seasonal theme is always available to you.

How to use themes in your Newsletter

Open the Smore newsletter editor and navigate to the theme picker.
The currently in-season theme appears at the top of the picker as usual.
Below it, find and click More Seasonal Themes or All Seasonal Themes to expand the section.
Browse the full library of seasonal themes — all are displayed and selectable.
Click any theme to apply it to your newsletter. It works exactly like selecting the active seasonal theme.
Create and publish your newsletter. The chosen theme renders correctly for all recipients.

Any theme you choose from All Seasonal Themes works exactly like an in-season theme; you can preview it, apply it, publish your newsletter, and share it without any restrictions.
