Best Christmas Video Greeting Card Templates

There are many traditions we follow at Christmas time. Giving presents to friends and family, decorating the Christmas tree, preparing a huge turkey dinner, over-indulging on egg-nog, and perhaps one of the oldest traditions of all is sending out seasonal greeting cards to all of our loved ones.

All of those traditions are pretty much unbreakable and set in stone. Except for the last one I mentioned. Year after year we send out millions upon millions of greeting cards, but why do we do this when we could just as easily take advantage of all of the digital tools we currently have at our disposal, like After Effects and email, and instantly send a video greeting card instead?

Seasonal video cards are much more fun, they’re more personal, and they’re also surprisingly easy to create, as the below examples will illustrate.

Just imagine the smile on your clients or your families face after you send them this beautifully animated Christmas Pop-Up Book. It’s very easy to customize, all you really have to do is drop in your logo, edit your personalised message and change the colors with Color Control.

Accompanied by a ‘We Wish you a Merry Christmas’ track by AudioQuattro, this atmospheric and traditional Christmas holiday video card would be perfect for sending out to your corporate clients.

This full HD (1920×1080) Illustrated Christmas video card After Effects project includes over 70(!) optional illustrations, in both PNG and PSD formats, and despite the project’s size, is surprisingly easy to customize. It does also include a detailed PDF tutorial.

The flat-styled and full HD Humourous Christmas Ident After Effects project template is very easy to customize and includes an easy to follow tutorial. This template would also work nicely as a Christmas greeting message on your website.

This full HD Polaroid-Style Photo Gallery After Effects project includes two different versions, five different titles, four resolution variations and also comes with a comprehensive video tutorial. This video card may not be suited for sending to your clients, but your family and friends would certainly appreciate it.

This full HD (1280×720) Christmas Santa template is very to easy to customize for anyone with some After Effects knowledge. It also comes bundled with a comprehensive tutorial, so would also be great for beginners as well.

Just like the Polaroid Gallery above, this full HD (1920×1080) and photorealistic Christmas Photo Tree project would be ideal for sending to family and friends. It comes with an extended voice-over video tutorial, so shouldn’t take you too long to learn how to personalize it.

Do you know anyone that loves retro video games like Space Invaders, Pac-Man or even the original Super Mario? If so, then they’re going to love 8-Bit Christmas!

The Christmas video project files I have featured here are just some of my personal favorites but are also just the tip of the iceberg. There are literally hundreds of high-quality holiday season project files on Envato Elements and they’re all waiting patiently to be personalized and sent out to your clients or your loved ones this holiday season.
