How to Design a Christmas Card Online

1

Choose a theme

Pick a design that fits the tone you want: festive and bright, or something more understated and elegant. All fully editable afterward.

2

Write your message

Use the welcome message section for your greeting, and add a photo gallery if you'd like to include family photos from the year.

3

Add party details, if you're hosting

For a Christmas party invitation rather than just a card, add the date, time, and venue, and turn on the RSVP form so guests can confirm.

4

Share the link

One link works everywhere: text, email, or social media, with a preview image attached automatically.

What to Write in a Christmas Card

Christmas card wording varies more than most occasions. Religious, secular, family-focused, or professional all call for a different tone, and it's worth picking the one that actually matches the relationship.

Traditional / religious

Wishing you the blessings of Christmas and the joy of the season. May this Christmas bring peace, love, and light to you and your family.

Secular / general

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas! Wishing you a season full of warmth, good company, and a wonderful year ahead.

Family, with a year-in-review tone

Merry Christmas from our family to yours! It's been quite a year, thank you for being part of it. Wishing you rest, joy, and good food this holiday season.

Business / professional

Wishing you and your team a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Thank you for your partnership this year. We look forward to working together again in the new year.

Christmas card vs. holiday card: when it matters

"Merry Christmas" is the right choice when you know the recipient celebrates Christmas specifically. For a mixed group (colleagues, a broad friend group, or anyone whose background you're not certain of) "Happy Holidays" or "Season's Greetings" is the more inclusive default, and reads as thoughtful rather than vague.

For a business or professional context specifically, "Happy Holidays" is generally the safer default regardless of what you personally celebrate, simply because the audience is broader and less known to you individually.

Common questions

Yes. Turn off the RSVP section entirely if it's just a greeting, or turn it on if it's an invitation to a gathering you need headcounts for.

Yes. The gallery section holds multiple photos, which works well for a year-in-review style Christmas card.

Yes, a public card or invitation is free to publish. A private, password-protected version with a longer expiry is a one-time paid upgrade.
