If you really need wildcard, I don't know of any free ones.  Multi-domain SAN
certificates can be done via WoSign (https://buy.wosign.com/free/?lan=en with
only 5 domains for free) or Let's Encrypt (https://letsencrypt.org/) though.

Let's Encrypt will validate via a file served by the HTTP server, and it's been
 awhile since I used them but I believe WoSign will do the same.
