Christmas templates

Christmas templates help you plan and share the season. You will find cards for family, friends, clients, employees, teachers, neighbors and coworkers, invitations to dinners, office parties, sweater parties, cookie exchanges and open houses, and flyers for toy drives, markets, concerts and Christmas Eve services. There are menus and place cards, a dinner planner, gift tracker, gift list, budget planner, Christmas Eve schedule and potluck sign-up sheet, plus recipe cards, bingo, a Secret Santa list, an advent calendar and letters to and from Santa.

Include names, dates and addresses, a gift list with a spending limit for each person, the guest list and party details, a menu with who is cooking or bringing what, a short, personal message, and a card list to track who has been sent one. Start your gift list and budget in November, and post cards by mid-December. Christmas Day 2026 is Friday, December 25, so set your gift deadline a week before.

Start with a greeting, add one personal line about the past year or a shared memory, and close with a warm wish and your name. For colleagues or clients, keep it to two sentences and thank them for something specific. Handwrite the signature if you can.

Collect names, set a spending limit and a gift deadline, then draw names so nobody picks their own. Share each giver's match privately, and hold the exchange a week or two before Christmas Day, which is Friday, December 25 in 2026.

Add up gifts, food, cards, postage, decorations and travel, then divide by the number of weeks left. Set a limit for each person on your gift list and track what you spend. Include a small cushion for last-minute costs.

Mail them in the first half of December so they arrive well before Friday, December 25. Send cards going overseas earlier, in late November. A card list helps you check off each address as you go.

Start with Christmas Budget: Plan Christmas spending by category, log each purchase and see what is left to spend. If that is not the right fit, compare it with Christmas Gift List.
