18 Funny Holiday Cards To Send This Season

After years of posing for family portraits for the annual Christmas card, sending out a stereotypical holiday card can get pretty boring — so instead, I’ve gotten into the habit of sending out funny holiday cards. After all, it is the season to be merry, so why settle for just pretty holiday cards when you can send out ones that’ll get a laugh?

In the midst of holiday season stress (gift-buying, decorating, party-planning), it’s easy to overlook what the season is really about. A card can let your relative, co-worker, or friend know that you’re thinking of them, and a good joke can make their day. Sure, you can’t really go wrong with a typical snowman card, but don’t feel like you have to play it safe. A good sense of humor is especially necessary this time of the year, and that’s why I love cards that can crack jokes for us.

In order to avoid any awkward Christmas card fails, I’ve found 18 funny cards that are worth a genuine laugh — not a cringe. It’s possible to find a hilarious card for everyone on your list, from your special someone to Mom and Dad to your BFF. After all, who needs to be serious, anyway?
