Popular Photo Christmas Cards

Our Independent Creators have been busy in their workshop this year, preparing thousands of trendy and traditional templates for you to browse and customize. Like all our holiday cards, our photo Christmas cards come in many different formats and styles, and you can even adjust the paper type and shape to give your card a particularly unique look. However, what really makes our Christmas cards stand out are the photo designs. Here are some of our most popular card types:

• Funny Photo Christmas Cards: Grab your most hilarious (read: cringiest) photos and use them to send your loved ones into peals of laughter!
• Pet Christmas Cards: Put your growing stockpile of pet photos to good use by adding your best pug-shots to these holiday cards.
• Unique Christmas Cards: Every Christmas card from Zazzle is unique, but these templates are especially noteworthy. Expect outlandish colors, quirky greetings and avant-garde designs!
• Vintage Christmas Cards: Picture yourself in a quaint Victorian village with the help of these old-fashioned cards. You don’t necessarily need a sepia-toned photo or historical portrait to add to these vintage-themed cards; a modern photo will also work!
• Non-Photo Christmas Cards: If you can’t find a suitable photo, don’t worry! Take the stress out of coordinating photo shoots and scouring old albums by choosing a non-photo template instead.

Personalizing a Christmas card with a photo of your own (or with no photo at all, as we just mentioned!) is easy with the Zazzle design tool. We make it a snap to add text, graphics, backgrounds, artwork and photos to nearly any kind of card or gift. Follow the step-by-step guidelines below to make edits to an existing design.

• Step 1: Select a design you like. Click on the thumbnail to open the product page and see a close-up of the design, complete with a placeholder photo to show you what the finished product will be like.
• Step 2: On the product page, choose a desired size, corner style and paper type. Clicking on the ‘Details’ and ‘Compare Papers’ buttons will reveal more info about each option.
• Step 3: Click on 'Personalize' and then add images, text and the background to your Christmas card. The higher resolution your image is, the better it will look when it is printed. We recommend compact, high-quality files like PDFs, and colorful, high-depth files, like PNGs. Avoid compressed formats like JPEGs, which tend to look grainy in print.
• Step 4: Click 'Done' and see your final design! All you need to do now is click ‘Add to Cart,’ which will ready your custom photo card for purchase. Soon your cards will be winging their way towards your loved ones – once they arrive at your doorstep, that is.

Choosing the right background photo can be difficult. Luckily, we have some great ideas on how to put your album and gallery to good use! Recently, ‘A Year in Review’ cards have become popular, allowing you to share a memory from each month. Christmas can also be an opportune moment to announce a baby on the way, your purchase of a new home or an upcoming engagement party. If none of your existing photos make a good card, relate your favorite anecdote, holiday memory or Yuletide-themed pun as part of our funny Christmas cards.
