Tips for Writing This Card

Keep it inclusive. Use "Happy Holidays" or "Season's Greetings" alongside "Merry Christmas" if you're unsure of your coworker's beliefs.
Acknowledge the year. A brief thank-you for their work, their positive attitude, or their collaboration makes the card feel thoughtful and genuine.
Stay appropriately warm. Coworker cards don't need to be stiff, but they should respect the professional context of the relationship.
Include a new year wish. "Looking forward to a great new year together" is always a nice way to close a coworker's card.
Short is fine. Two to three genuine sentences is all you need — quality over quantity.

Common Questions

What is appropriate to write in a Christmas card for a coworker?

Warm holiday wishes, a genuine thank-you for the year you've shared, and wishes for the season ahead. Keep it professional but heartfelt — a personal touch always makes it better.

Should you say Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays in a coworker's card?

If you know your coworker celebrates Christmas, "Merry Christmas" is perfectly appropriate. If you're unsure, "Happy Holidays" or "Season's Greetings" is inclusive and equally warm.

Proportional to your relationship. Close colleagues can receive warmer, more personal messages; workplace acquaintances deserve a friendly but more general celebration of the season.
