Cosplaying at the holidays can sometimes make you feel a bit out of place depending on your character. So it raises the question of how to make cosplays for the holidays? Well there’s a lot of different ways to make your costume fit in.
Cosplay Characters from Holiday Films, Shows, or Books
You could start by picking characters from holiday themed content. Whether you cosplay santa himself or other characters from classic holiday movies, these are easy options to fit within the holiday themes. You can also often make some of these out of simple closet cosplay clothing to not let it break the bank.
Reskin a Cosplay to Fit the Holiday Theme
This one requires some creativity! You can take any cosplay you already do and redesign it to be more festive! This is a lot of fun since it lets you get creative with designing the costume and helps you connect with it more since it is unique to you. I love reskinning cosplays to be more unique and give it my personal flair.
See if the Character has a Holiday Themed Reskin
The character you cosplay may already have an available reskin to fit the holidays. If you cosplay Overwatch characters then you definitely have access to this! This will be more common with videogames that offer different character cosmetics. This way you can work off a holiday themed design that is pre built for you.
