The most beautiful Christmas greetings from the heart: ideas and inspiration for personal holiday wishes

Why personal Christmas greetings matter more than ever

A sign of appreciation in the digital age:
Especially in a time when many greetings are sent via chat, a personalised card with handwritten words makes all the difference.

Tradition meets emotion:
Heartfelt Christmas messages connect people across distances. They bring joy and create lasting memories – regardless of whether you choose modern Christmas greetings or classic phrases.

Heartfelt instead of ‘quickly written’:
The recipient can tell when you personalise your Christmas greetings instead of copying a random template.

The right greetings for Christmas cards

At the end of your Christmas card messages, the right greeting adds a stylish finishing touch to your personal message. Depending on the recipient, you can choose between classic, warm or modern greetings. For family or close friends, warm closings such as ‘Merry Christmas from the bottom of our hearts’ or ‘All the best for the festive season’ are appropriate.

For business Christmas greetings – for example, to employees, customers or business partners – neutral phrases such as ‘With festive greetings’ or ‘Merry Christmas and a successful New Year’ are appropriate. 

For creative Christmas greetings, you can also use playful greetings such as ‘Happy holidays and sparkling greetings’ or ‘With a pinch of cinnamon and lots of joy’. This will make your card a harmonious overall experience – from the salutation to the signature.
