Did you know that 45% of all greeting cards sent are Christmas cards? But sadly, since there’s not much use for them after Christmas is over, most of them are sent to the landfill because they cannot really be recycled. Just in the UK, 1 billion of all Christmas cards are sent to the landfill every year! Just imagine the waste that creates. Not very Christmas-y, is it? 

A much more eco-friendly solution is to go digital – instead of sending traditional paper cards, send ecards to family, friends, and colleagues to wish them a Merry Christmas! And you don’t have to stick to boring Whatsapp messages either. You can get creative by making and sending animated Christmas wishes. 

So, in this article, we’ve compiled this list of animated Christmas video card ideas that will help you create e-cards using InVideo’s customizable templates to share during the holiday season. 

Here are the ideas we’ll be covering: 

#1: Send a digital postcard
#2: Use Christmas puns to send some Christmas cheer
#3: Send your creator friends a Christmas greeting
#4: Keep things professional with this minimalistic Christmas card
#5: Tell someone how much you miss them with a cute e-card
#6: Send out a Christmas greeting emailer 
#7: Make your friends chuckle with an honest postcard
#8: Create a video collage greeting
#9: Send out family greetings
#10: Send out an elegant Christmas greeting
