With high-quality materials and endless ways to personalize, your cards become keepsakes that loved ones will cherish. Highlights include:
Creating picture Christmas cards is simple with Shutterfly. Start by uploading your favorite family photos, then choose from hundreds of design templates to match your style. Choose from double-sided designs or opt for a traditional, minimalist card with no photo. Add your holiday greeting, customize the colors, and select from flat or folded formats. You can even enhance your design with festive foil-stamped lettering, glitter accents, or unique trims.
Once you’ve finished, preview your design and order with confidence—our high-quality printing ensures your personalized Christmas cards look as beautiful as your memories. To make your cards even more special, add finishing touches like custom envelopes or holiday-themed address labels.

After you’ve designed your customized Christmas cards, ordering is quick and stress-free with Shutterfly. Choose from a variety of shipping options to make sure your cards arrive right on time—whether you’re planning early or sending them at the last minute. Need a fast turnaround?

For your personalized Christmas cards to arrive on time, plan to mail them about 2–3 weeks before Christmas. Ordering in early November ensures plenty of time for printing and mailing, but if you’re running behind, Shutterfly offers expedited shipping for last-minute peace of mind. And if the season gets away from you, Happy New Year’s cards are a wonderful way to keep the celebration going.
Pair your holiday cards with thoughtful personalized gifts that make the season extra special. Create cozy photo blankets, photo mugs for hot cocoa nights, or design photo books that highlight your family’s best moments of the year. Personalized puzzles, canvas prints, and photo Christmas ornaments also make meaningful holiday keepsakes. With Shutterfly, every gift and card is designed to help you celebrate, connect, and spread holiday joy.
