Hysterical Christmas Cards To Put You In The Holiday Spirit

Ah, Christmas! We all know the special holiday feeling in the air that can’t quite be explained. Gifts are being bought, memories are being shared…and so are Christmas cards. While the holidays aren’t necessarily a joyous time for everybody, surely funny cards can turn someone’s frown upside down.

We’re all aware of sibling rivalry and siblings getting jealous of each other. It’s a real thing. So what makes this photo so cute and comical is not only is the little sister wearing a “Santa’s Little Helper” shirt, but also that her baby brother is in a nicely wrapped box labeled “Return to Santa.” Well, Santa’s little helper sure is devious.

Are we the only ones who thought his left arm was reaching into her bag? Wait, that’s not his arm, that’s a bright red bra. Whoops, we guess they should have chosen a different color for the composition because our eyes were definitely fooling us! 

Meow-rry Christmas! Wait, there’s a possibility that Jesus could have been a cat? Because to be fair, nowhere does it say that he wasn’t. The first thing we can think of was how bad we feel for the cat since the little guy looks so confused as to what is happening. Yes, this is somewhat “sacrilegious” but it’s also just a hilarious Christmas card. Come on, people, lighten up!

It’s safe to say that any image with a child or a baby is automatically funny in some way. They’re just super goofy and unaware of themselves, which is why this Christmas card photo is extra adorable.

Whoa, she really convinced us that she was in a relationship for a second! That’s the crazy thing about how photos can be altered to trick us and also to think that this woman was actually with her significant other in the picture.

Despite the uneasy and nervous laughter it gave us, this one is really creepy. We’ll give the guy some points for creativity, but that stache is not doing it for us. Also, the font is kind of hard to read (ok, we’re not that old)! 

The cat in the turtleneck is giving us serious 1970s vibes. Seriously though, that cat needs to have its own Instagram account. Also, we would like an invite to this glorious retro family, please. 

Norwegians do, in fact, do things differently, and we admire all of the effort that was put into this card! Also, move over Blue Man Group…these Green Man Group guys are the new rage – at least, they should be.

Being alone can be…well…lonely. For somebody who spends the holiday season by themselves, it can be quite sad if they’re missing family and only have their pet to keep them company (or, sometimes, not even a pet). In this person’s case, her cat is her only companion for Christmas.

This Christmas card from the Rydell family may be the most wholesome thing we’ve seen for a while. Imagine the dad coming to his family and being like, “Everyone I have the greatest idea that you will all love.” While we can maybe imagine the mom rolling her eyes, it seems like the whole family really enjoyed being dressed up in T-Rex costumes. 

Pizza is the ultimate comfort food, so we understand why Americans are obsessed with the greasy, warm, doughy cheesiness. Sarah clearly loved pizza and it’s why she made an entire Christmas card dedicated to their relationship.   

Have no fear…this Christmas card has everything you need to make you smile and laugh! How sweet that the USPS mailman cares that much about this grandma and getting the packages to her safely, regardless of the snowy weather.

This Christmas card is the epitome of the technology addiction present in the 21st century. Nobody is even looking at the camera, just at their phones. And the texting shorthand on the card is strong. Mrry Chrstmas & hppy new yr, ppl!

One of the things that stands out the most is the three glaringly different facial expressions from each of the kids. The baby is plain shocked, one kid is clearly unhappy, and the other is just along for the ride and thrilled to have met Santa! Oh, yeah. Santa. That guy’s always jovial, especially after he’s gotten his cookies and milk.

Silent night, holy night. Hurry, honey – tie the kids up with some string lights, quick! Parenting is a very joyful experience in life, but it can also be extremely stressful and irritating. All you want is a quiet night with your partner and the kids are running around, causing trouble. What’s the solution?

Mormons are often the butt of many jokes, mostly offensive ones. This person took a common misconception about Mormons and fully committed to it. The co-worker doesn’t even have multiple wives, so it’s truly hilarious that he wanted to mess with people by putting out this Christmas card.

Imagine that your dog and cat were the owners and the humans were the pets? How bizarre to have that idea in our minds! Joe, Mira, Buddy, and Gimli look like a very happy family, indeed. Let’s talk about those terrier-fying legs, though. Hah!

Upon first glance, it seems like we’re looking at a normal image of housemates smiling for the Christmas card to send out to their families. Upon further inspection, there’s something that you may not catch the first time. We’ll wait for you to find it…

Ah, here we have yet another image about parents needing space from their children! Taping your kids to the wall is obviously very, very wrong, but for the purposes of this image, it’s quite genius. Many parents who see this image are probably asking these people for tips on how they can do the same with their children. Kidding!

Our inner dog lovers are coming out right now. Anything with adorable doggies makes us beam with happiness! Seeing these progression photos of the pups and the Campanelli kids is absolutely wholesome content and we’re so glad we can share it with you.

Winter is coming. Just kidding…actually, it’s already here! For fans of the massive television hit Game of Thrones, this photo will immediately make sense. It’s pretty cool to see so much effort put into a Christmas card, and this family surely executed it well.

We’re asking the serious questions here: Can Peanut save Christmas? Why is this Christmas poster so cute and funny? We really hope that Peanut and his owners found Rudolph, the missing member of their family. Furthermore, it looks like they’re actually riding Peanut which lends itself to their impressive Photoshop skills.

Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal! Macaulay Culkin was America’s favorite child star of the 1990s. Everyone knows him as Kevin McCallister in the cult classic comedy Home Alone. This family had a really good idea for their Christmas card that others will surely replicate for future Christmases to come. 

Excited. Engaged. Expecting. Emily. Wait, what? Poor Emily. She’s the single outcast of her family’s Christmas card. Not that there’s anything wrong with being single, or being Emily, but this made us laugh hard.

If you’ve ever seen National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, you will get this reference right away. And, if you haven’t, we’re sorry, but we can’t explain it to you. Hey, that’s what Google is for!

You will most likely understand this reference if you grew up in the ‘90s. Otherwise, you’ll probably be scratching your head. We’re looking at you, Gen-Z. If you didn’t get the reference then it’s okay, we will give you a pass this time.

Giant cats haven’t taken over the world…yet. Clearly, the Gilliam family is dealing with a huge kitty – ahem, BIG Samson – chasing them. Maybe he’s mad that they paid more attention to the family’s dog? Samson wants his revenge.

Face swaps are creepy in general, yet what’s even creepier is when a baby’s face is swapped with their dad’s face. But, for real…why does the dad look so mad? It’s Christmas! He should be overjoyed, right? He’s probably not happy because he has one of his children’s faces. 

The mom looks absolutely fabulous, but we beg to differ about the father and the sons. They look as if they are falling out of an airplane and getting blasted by the air, or there was a leaf blower present in the room. And, the dad…umm, maybe he had too much to drink. Meanwhile, the mom is just rocking it.

Now, this is some amazing dedication! Going all-out for your Christmas cards must be incredibly fun, considering you can have a good time, dress up, and share the wacky results with your closest family members and friends.

We have to give some big props to the person who came up with this eggcellent idea for his Christmas card. Surely, you’ve probably never seen a man and his chicken posing together like this before, but, clearly, he wanted to give his audience a good laugh.

Have you seen anything more precious than this? We sure haven’t. These furry fellas are patiently awaiting the arrival of Santa Paws to deliver their Christmas feast. Even the little one in the back is wondering where his savory chicken and yummy mashed potato meal is! Santa Paws needs to hurry up.

Christmas card ideas relating to food are always welcome and this one is wholly unique. Apparently, the idea for the card randomly popped into the person’s head! This gingerbread cookie family is rather terrified that they are about to be gobbled up. 

We can already tell that the brother in this card is the type of sibling who knows how to lighten the mood. We’re not sure what the two sisters were fighting about prior to having the photo taken, but they obviously aren’t having it! Luckily, they have the coolest older brother who knows exactly what to do. 

What do you do when you’ve already taken the family Christmas card photos with your son’s girlfriend at the time in that photo, but they break up right before the photo is taken? Obviously, you don’t want to take a new family photo so you just end up sending out the original one! Uhhh…that’s a bit rude and awkward, considering your son and his girlfriend from the photo aren’t together anymore. 

This example is when a possum gets into the gingerbread houses that you left on your porch and they are thoroughly delighted. Look how happy he is! That possum is the definition of pure Christmas spirit.

It’s evident that the family in this Christmas card is having a howlin’ good time! We wonder if their last name is Wolff because that would make a whole lot of sense. Surely, the family had quite a fun time coming up with the idea for this card. It doesn’t exactly scream Christmas, but we’re willing to give them points for trying.

At first glance, this photo looks really odd, but when you peer a little bit closer, you see that tiny humans form these snowflakes. Well, that’s an idea we’ve never witnessed before! The level of creative lengths that people go to for Christmas cards is beyond impressive. 

We admit that we did a double-take when we first saw this photo. It’s common for dogs to resemble their owners, but this is too much. The person who was behind this Christmas card should be prepared to get many texts and calls asking if they’re doing all right.

This card should be titled, “From our retro hipster household to yours.” The fact that everybody’s wearing glasses really did it for us, and all the vintage-looking clothes they’re wearing. Oh, wait, except for the one guy in the back who doesn’t have glasses.

For all you flute players out there, this Christmas card will be right up your alley. Instead of a boy and his cat or a boy and his dog, this card is of a boy and his special flute. We understand that the love he has for the particular instrument is an out-of-this-world feeling, one that can only be conveyed accurately if you’re a flute player yourself. 

You all must know the classic Christmas movie Home Alone. It has the iconic line, “Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal!” Also, Macaulay Culkin was the perfect choice to play Kevin McAllister. So, we were delighted that this family decided to do a Christmas card with a Home Alone theme. 

Heeere we go with another movie-related Christmas card! This time, it pays homage to the Stanley Kubrick classic The Shining. Of course, the wife and husband are dressed as the couple in the film, Jack and Wendy Torrance. The younger daughter is dressed as the son in the film, Danny Torrance, and the other two daughters are the creepy Grady sisters. 

Anything with kitties makes us happy and it should do the same for you! We also got some giggles out of this wonderful Christmas card. The seven cats in the photo look perplexed as to what’s going on, but the one in the back is just giving a “Yeah, whatever” expression on its face.

Out of all the cards on the list, this one ranks highest in terms of the creepy factor. While we appreciate Dr. Baxter’s sentiment, and wanting to do something inclusive for her office’s Christmas card, it turned out very, very wrong.
