Tips for writing it

Keep coworker cards friendly, positive, and appropriate for anyone to read over their shoulder. Thanking them for something specific, such as help on a project or covering a shift, makes it personal without being too familiar. Avoid jokes about the boss or office politics.

If you’re not sure whether a coworker celebrates Christmas, “Happy holidays” or “Season’s greetings” is a considerate choice. Many offices close from around Thursday, December 24, 2026, so send cards in the week of December 14 or 21, before people go on leave.

Frequently asked questions

What do you write in a Christmas card for a coworker?

Keep it warm and simple: a holiday wish, a thank-you for something they did, and a line about the new year. Two or three sentences is ideal. Specific thanks, like help on a project, feel more personal than generic praise.

Should I say Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays to coworkers?

If you know they celebrate Christmas, Merry Christmas is fine. If you’re not sure, or you’re sending to a diverse team, Happy Holidays or Season’s Greetings is more inclusive. Both are perfectly polite.

Can I send one Christmas card to my whole team?

Yes. Address it to the team and share the link in your team channel or a group email. Everyone can open it on their own device without signing up.

When should I send holiday cards at work?

Before people start their time off. For 2026, the week of December 14 or the first days of the week of December 21 are good choices, since Christmas falls on Friday, December 25.

Is it okay to send a funny Christmas card at work?

Light humor about meetings, email, or coffee is usually safe. Avoid anything about specific colleagues, politics, or appearance. When in doubt, choose a friendly message with one small joke.
