We are currently “decorating” our Discourse for the holidays. Would it be possible to add a snowing effect to the forum? Similar to what WordPress blogs had back in the day.

Yes, such a thing is possible, but I’m not aware of a theme that does it. Here’s Christmas hats component, though.

We’ve been using the hats component for a while now, not only on Christmas. Thanks anyway.

I’ve created some seasonal theme components for both Halloween and Christmas for my forum. I used CSS last year, but it used quite a lot of CPU, as David points out. This year, I used JavaScript with better (and more attractive) results – you can see them at the link below:
The CodePen from which I got the script is here
I just put the script in the </head> section of a new theme component, and voila! Snow!

Thanks for sharing, Chris.
Also for David’s theme, to reduse CPU usage, we have removed two of the .png snow files.
In Edit CSS:
background-image: url($s3);
We also reduced the speed, as well as the opacity, so its more calm. Once again, thank you guys!

I love it @cjk77. I updated my component so it now has two options - the default is now the javascript-based one you shared
