Funny Christmas Cards for Work Colleagues

Funny Christmas cards for work colleagues

Work Christmas cards are a genre of their own. Too formal and it reads like an email; too rude and it ends up on someone's desk in a meeting with HR. The sweet spot is a card that jokes about the shared experience of the year rather than the person reading it.

Below are messages that work for a colleague, a whole team or a manager, plus cards you can order in small runs and hand out on the last day before the break.

Frequently asked questions

Should you give Christmas cards to colleagues?

If your workplace does cards, give them to the people you work with directly rather than the whole floor. A specific thank you beats a blanket card every time.

What do you write in a Christmas card for a boss?

Thank them for something concrete they did this year, wish them a proper break, and keep the joke gentle.

Can I order multiple cards for a team?

Yes, add as many as you need to one order and they'll be posted together so you can hand them out on the last day.
