Happy Holidays cards for business, friends and everyone
Not everyone on your list celebrates the same way, and a Happy Holidays card lets you wish them all well without guessing. The Silver Snowflakes card opens on pale ice blue as large snowflakes crystallise one by one in silver and blue, with small pine sprigs in the corners and gentle snow. It suits clients, colleagues and friends alike, whether they’re lighting a menorah, trimming a tree, celebrating Kwanzaa or just counting down to New Year’s.

Tips for writing it
Inclusive holiday wording is simple: talk about the season, the year and the people, rather than a specific holiday. “Happy holidays,” “Season’s greetings” and “Warm wishes for the new year” cover Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and New Year’s without assuming anything. With clients, keep the tone warm but professional and lead with thanks for the year. With your own team, you can be more relaxed and personal, and it’s fine to tell people to really switch off. Sign off with a real name (“Maria and the whole Northside team”) rather than just a company name, so the card feels like it came from people.
Timing matters more than most people think. Send holiday cards from early to mid December, before offices start closing. In 2026 Hanukkah begins at sundown on Friday, December 4, Christmas falls on Friday, December 25 and many businesses wind down from around December 18. A card sent in the first two weeks of December is read while people are still at their desks. If you’re sending to many people, you don’t need dozens of cards: one card link can go out to a whole email list, a client newsletter or a team chat.
Frequently asked questions
What do you write in a business holiday card?
Thank the recipient for their trust or partnership this year, wish them a restful season, and look ahead to the new year. Keep it to two or three sentences, avoid sales pitches, and sign with a person’s name along with the company name.
Is it better to say “Happy Holidays” or “Season’s Greetings”?
Both are inclusive and appropriate for business. “Happy holidays” feels a little warmer and more conversational, while “Season’s greetings” reads slightly more formal, which suits clients you don’t know well. Use whichever matches your brand’s voice.
When should I send corporate holiday cards?
Aim for the first half of December. In 2026 that means sending between about December 1 and December 15, so cards arrive before people leave for the holidays and before Hanukkah ends on December 12. Late cards can work as New Year’s greetings instead.
Can I send the same holiday card to my whole client list?
Yes. A CardPetal card lives at a private link, so you can create one card addressed to “our clients” and put that link into a single email or newsletter. For your most important clients, it’s worth making a separate card with their name and a personal line.
Are CardPetal holiday ecards really free for businesses?
Yes. There’s no account, no sign-up and no charge for creating or sending a card, whether it goes to one person or a thousand. You can also download it as a video or image to post on your company’s social channels.
