Christmas card photo templates, built around your picture

Your family photo deserves better than a crooked crop. Every Christmas holiday card template on PosterMyWall opens with the frame and the greeting already in position, so your picture drops straight in and lands where it should. Browse Christmas greeting card templates, pick the one that suits your family, and make it yours in a few clicks.

Family photo Christmas card templates for any shot

Whether this year's photo is a portrait on the stairs or a wide shot at the beach, there is a layout shaped for it. Upload the picture, crop it inside the frame, and the design closes around it. No more squeezing a landscape photo into a portrait slot and cutting off half the family. Swap the fonts and colours while you are in there.

Download a Christmas card template and print it.

Your card should sound like you, not like a supermarket shelf. PosterMyWall’s Christmas designs run from mid-century retro to hand-painted watercolor, rustic kraft and pine, clean black and white, soft pink, and a beach Christmas for anyone spending it somewhere warm. Every one is editable, so a few colour changes turn it into a custom Christmas card template nobody else is sending. Pick cardstock between 80lb and 110lb so your cards hold their shape in the post. Download the printable Christmas card template as a PDF or JPG, set your printer to actual size, and run one test before committing the whole pack. Free downloads cover basic quality, and Premium unlocks the high-resolution file a print shop will ask for.

Christmas thank you templates for your client list

A Christmas thank you card lands better with clients than another discount code. Write it with AI Writer, keep your logo and colours consistent using Brand Kits, then send the whole list a Christmas email if stamps are not worth the trouble. Need a party invitation instead? The same Christmas templates cover that.

Frequently asked questions

How do you make a Christmas card?

Pick a Christmas holiday card template on PosterMyWall, swap in your photo and greeting, then download the file to print. The layout is already built, so the whole thing takes a few minutes. Change the colors, fonts, and wording if you want it to sound like you rather than the template.

What size is a standard Christmas card?

The most common Christmas card size is 5 by 7 inches, which fits a standard A7 envelope. Other popular options are 4 by 6 inches, 4 by 8 inches for a panoramic photo card, 5.5 inches square, and 6 by 9 for something larger. PosterMyWall also lets you set custom dimensions.

Are the Christmas card templates free?

Yes. PosterMyWall's xmas card templates are free to use, and you can download basic quality files without paying anything. Premium plans unlock unlimited high-resolution downloads, which matters if you are sending the file to a print shop rather than running it off on a home printer.

Can I print Christmas cards at home?

Yes. Download your card as a PDF or JPG and print it on cardstock with any home printer. Set the printer to actual size so the dimensions hold, and fit two cards on one sheet to save paper. A paper trimmer gives cleaner edges than scissors.

What paper should I print Christmas cards on?

Cardstock between 80lb and 110lb works best, since ordinary printer paper feels flimsy and curls in the post. Matte suits text-heavy designs and glossy makes photos pop. Buy a pack sized for your printer and run one test card before committing to the whole batch.

Can I put a photo on a Christmas card?

Yes. Upload any photo into your card design, then crop and scale it in the editor. Templates built for photos arrive with the frame already positioned, so the picture sits correctly without fiddling. Portrait shots and landscape shots each have templates shaped to fit them.

What do you write in a Christmas card?

Keep it short and specific: a line about your year, a thank you, and a wish for theirs. That is why most cards leave room for only a few sentences. Blank holiday card templates hand you the full inside page if you would rather write the message by hand.

When should I send Christmas cards?

Post them by the first week of December so they arrive before people travel, and allow another week or two for international mail. If you are running late, an emailed card lands the same day, and PosterMyWall's Chr
