How to write it

1. Thank them for something. A business card without gratitude is just an advert with holly on it.
2. Default to inclusive wording for a large list. “Season’s greetings” offends nobody; assumed Christianity sometimes does.
3. Never sell. No offers, no next-year pitches, no links to the sale.
4. Sign it individually where you can. A handwritten name on a client card is worth more than the whole printed message.

FAQ

What do you write in a business Christmas card?

Thank them for the year, wish them a good break, and look ahead briefly. Three lines, no sales content.

Should a business card say “Merry Christmas” or “Season’s Greetings”?

For a known contact who celebrates Christmas, either is fine. For a large or mixed list, “Season’s greetings” is the safer default.

What do you write to employees?

Thank them specifically for the year’s work and tell them to switch off properly. Recognition matters more than festive wording.

Is it acceptable to send clients an ecard?

Yes, and increasingly expected — it is faster, cheaper, and easier to personalise across a long list.

What is a good short message?

“Merry Christmas from all of us. Thank you for a great year.”

When should business Christmas cards go out?

Early December. Cards arriving in the last week before Christmas often go unopened until January.
