We will also be providing tips on how to create effective Christmas email newsletters using MailChimp Christmas templates as well as those suitable for the likes of AWeber and Constant Contact.
What to Look For in Christmas Email Templates
Before we get to our collection of templates, let’s go over a few factors that you should keep in mind while browsing through them.
- Design: A beautiful and well-designed template will help your email stand out in recipients’ crowded inboxes. But beyond looks, make sure that the design is also mobile-responsive since a majority of people now check their emails on their smartphones.
- Layout: A good layout is crucial for an email template since it will determine how easy it is for recipients to scan and digest the content. For Christmas email templates, we recommend going with a single-column layout as it tends to work best with images and other visually-appealing elements.
- Branding Opportunities: Look for templates that offer ample space for you to add your company’s logo, brand colors, and other branding elements. This will help ensure that recipients can easily identify your email as coming from your business.
Now let’s turn our attention to how to best customize the template you opt to use.
How to Make the Most of the Christmas Email Template You Select
Once you’ve chosen the perfect email template for your needs, it’s time to personalize it further and add your own unique touches. Doing so will help you create an email that feels more like a message from a friend than a generic marketing blast.

Here are a few ways to bring the festive joy straight to your subscribers’ inboxes:
Take Advantage of the Subject Line
Write something creative and eye-catching to entice recipients to open your email. After all, the subject line is often what decides whether an email gets opened or not.
Use High-Quality Visuals (Preferably Festive Ones)
Sourcing nice images will add some personality to your email and break up the text. Just make sure that you don’t go overboard with them as too many images can make your email look cluttered. You can find numerous stand out options on Envato Elements.
