Top Christmas Cards for 2025

With the holiday season approaching faster than we realise, now is the time for retailers, event planners, and gift shops to review and refresh their Christmas card lines. At Tiger Feet, our wholesale Christmas cards range offers over 1,300 seasonal designs across boxed cards, flatboxes and single packs. In this article, we’ll explore the top card trends for 2025, highlight standout designs already selling well, and offer tips on how to stock your shelves for maximum festive appeal.

What's Trending in Christmas Cards for 2025

Luxurious finishes and metallic accents

In recent years, cards with foil, embossing, glitter, and metallic elements have seen consistent popularity. These premium finishes elevate simple designs into keepsakes. In Tiger Feet’s Christmas category, many cards are marked under “Traditional,” “Cute,” or “Contemporary” styles—with metallic touches helping push them toward the premium end.

Minimalist & neutral palettes

While classic red & green remain staples, we’re seeing growing demand for minimalist designs: soft neutrals, cream & white tones, and subtle monochromes. These appeal especially to consumers who prefer understated elegance or a “Scandi” aesthetic. Many of Tiger Feet’s card filters allow buyers to select flat, boxed, traditional or contemporary — giving room for neutral/modern lines to stand out.

Religious & nativity themes

For many, the spiritual message of Christmas remains central. Religious and nativity-themed cards are still significant in wholesale collections. Tiger Feet’s Christmas card range includes a “Religious” style filter, showing the ongoing demand for faith-based greetings.

Occasion-specific & family greetings

Cards addressing specific recipients (e.g. “From All of Us,” “Special Couple,” “To Godson”) remain strong sellers because they offer a personal touch. For example:

• Poppyhill 12 Pack Cards C50 Christmas Friend – a set that targets “Friend” recipients.

• Poppyhill 12 Pack Cards C50 Christmas Neighbours – speaks directly to neighbours (a classic seasonal customer need).

• Tiger Feet 528 Pack Boxed Cards Christmas Open – a large boxed open pack, ideal for retailers who want variety within one SKU.

These specialised recipient cards help customers choose cards more easily and often reduce guesswork at the counter.

How to Stock Your Christmas Card Section

Balance variety with bestsellers

Ensure a mix of boxed cards, flat singles, themed boxes, and larger bulk packs. That way, you cater to customers who want premium boxed sets and those seeking economical options. The variety in Tiger Feet’s “Wholesale Christmas Cards” collection reflects this balance.

Align with recipient categories

Segment your displays by recipient: Couples, Family, Friends, Religious, Pets & Nature, etc. As seen with Poppyhill’s “Special Couple” pack, targeted greetings sell because customers feel the card speaks to their relationship.

Display format matters

Slim boxed cards and flat single designs help with shelf space in compact stores. The 432 Slim Boxed style is a great example of adapting format to retail constraints.

Update your “New In” shelf

Highlight new designs for 2025 so returning customers see fresh lines. Many buyers browse for novelty before selecting the staples.

Don’t forget the offsets

While cards are the main product, consider pairing them at checkouts with matching envelopes, gift wrap, or greeting card holders.

Summary & Outlook for 2025

The 2025 Christmas card market will favour designs that combine elegance, personalization, and timeless sentiment. Cards with metallic accents, neutral palettes, or stylized religious themes are poised to perform strongly. Recipient-specific sets and slim boxed formats offer practical benefits for both customers and retailers. By curating your collection with a balanced mix of classic and modern designs — and using featured packs like the ones above — your shop or wholesale outlet can compete at the top of the holiday game.
