Origin is the digital store for Electronic Arts' PC games. They periodically have sales, roughly every month or so. Some of the sales, such as the Holiday Sale, are bigger. My team created unique visual themes for all sales, but the bigger sales got more specialized treatments.
Since Origin has regional online stores in many countries, it isn't always wintertime for all customers during the holiday season. I did a Google search to see what themes were prominent for the holidays in some of the larger countries in the southern hemisphere. I saw many of the same visual themes as the northern hemisphere, but on the beach instead of in the snow. I thought this would make a fun holiday theme for all regions.
