101 Christmas Card Greetings and Holiday Wishes for 2025

Not sure what to write in your Christmas card this year. Then check out our list of 101 holiday card greetings.

Do you still send out holiday cards each year?

We sure hope so!

There’s nothing better than opening your mailbox in December and seeing it filled with cards.

Not junk mail…

or useless advertising flyers…

or pesky bills that are due…

but actual, hand-addressed greeting cards for you and your family.

It seems like people are busier than ever, especially during the holidays, so sending Christmas cards falls to the bottom of the to-do list.

We want to change that!

Did your family take family pictures this year or maybe you have some fantastic shots from a wonderful vacation?

But you haven’t ordered photo cards yet?

Maybe you just aren’t sure what to say on those holiday cards.

So you’ve avoided sitting down to actually order them.

We can help you!

Or we could have it all wrong and you always send Christmas cards out year after year to every single person in your address book and contact list.

Since you consistently send greeting cards, are you starting to struggle with crafting a new holiday message for your friends and family?

We’ve got you covered!

Or maybe you give cards to close family and friends that you’d want to express your wishes for each person during the holiday season.

How do you get the perfect meaningful and sentimental message across to them?

We have some ideas!

Grab a pen and get ready to jot down your favorite sayings.

We know that you’ll find one or two or maybe even 15 or 20 from our list of over 101 greetings.

So get ready to be inspired and find the perfect saying to use this year.

Then save this post on Pinterest so you can use it again next year and the year after.

After you save it, could you please share it with your friends as well?
