Christmas Card Day

December 9, 2026

Group of children making Christmas cards for Christmas Card Day

Christmas Card Day, celebrated on 9th December, is a special day dedicated to sending and sharing festive greetings in the form of Christmas cards. The tradition of exchanging Christmas cards began in the 1840s when Sir Henry Cole, a British civil servant, commissioned the first commercial Christmas card. Since then, sending cards has become a cherished way to spread holiday cheer and connect with loved ones during the festive season.

Christmas cards can be store-bought, handmade, or even digital, and they often feature warm wishes, religious messages, or beautiful winter scenes. This day encourages everyone to pause, reflect, and take the time to reach out to friends and family, letting them know they’re thought of during the holiday season.

Embrace the spirit of Christmas Card Day with these engaging content ideas:

  • Share the history of Christmas cards and how they evolved over time.
  • Post tips for creating personalised, handmade Christmas cards for a personal touch.
  • Highlight unique card ideas, such as pop-up designs or eco-friendly options.
  • Share a tutorial for crafting digital Christmas cards for those who prefer an electronic greeting.
  • Post a poll asking followers if they still send physical Christmas cards or prefer digital ones.
  • Encourage followers to write and send a Christmas card to someone they haven’t contacted in a while.
  • Share holiday card-writing prompts or warm messages to include in cards.
  • Post a story or anecdote about the most memorable Christmas card you’ve received or sent.
  • Highlight charitable organisations that sell Christmas cards to support good causes.
  • Share festive photo ideas for followers who want to make photo cards featuring their families or pets.
