This wallpaper gives the warmest “walking home after buying fresh gingerbread” energy. The wooden bridge lit by lanterns, the glowing houses reflecting in icy water, and the gentle snowfall create a cinematic winter night aesthetic. It’s cozy, atmospheric, and perfect for winter lovers who want a little romance on their lock screen.
