15 Last-Minute Holiday Cards You Can Send with PicCollage

There’s still time to make an amazing holiday card this year!  We’ve got hundreds of template options in the app that are perfect for sharing in a post or sending in an email with a heart-felt message. 
We know it can be overwhelming to put something together last minute.  So we have templates organized in the app to help narrow down your search.  From the start page, tap Templates, then scroll through the categories to choose from options like Winter, Family Christmas Cards, Worldwide Christmas, Traditional Christmas, Christmas Faith, or Trending.  Explore options by mood or tap Christmas – All to see everything together. 
To get the creative juices flowing, we’re showing you a few (okay 15 – we just couldn’t choose) of our favorite holiday card scenarios – featuring photos of real users! We hope you will find something that suits you wherever and however you are celebrating this year! 

1. From: Our Family to Yours

Ah the “classic” Christmas card. If you had a chance to snap a great picture of the family this year, don’t let it go to waste.  Printed and mailed cards aren’t the only way to go. Find a vertical template that matches the color palette of your photo, and you will have things looking professional in no time!  Share it broadly as a beautiful facebook post.  If you prefer a more private option, closer to traditional mail – send an email out to your regular newsletter list with the photo included for a special touch.

2. From: The Extended-Family (even the cat!)

Since so many extended families won’t be able to gather in person this year, a special card can help bridge the gap! This template has room to include the whole family tree. You can send it to everyone in the family you will be calling and video chatting with as an extra surprise. Print it out and frame it as a special momento that is a little more photogenic than a screenshot of a Zoom call.

6. From: An Appreciative Resident

For the delivery driver who kept you alive this year! Make a special note with this letter template.  The page on the right is blank so you can choose your favorite font and jot down a few thoughts about why you want to say thanks.  Really this template is great for a quick note to anyone, we just love the vintage mailbox that reminds us of all of the delivery workers making sure everyone gets those extra online orders!

11. From: The Chef

To your guests to get them excited for Christmas dinner! Even if Christmas dinner is just with those already living in the same four walls as you, add a little fanciness to the occasion with a special menu.  You can send it in a message to build excitement, and then print it to lay at each place setting before the feast begins.

With extra social-distancing measures in place – it might be hard to get the classic shots you are used to taking each year.  Mall decorations and Santa photos are all going to look a little different.
