Magic of Christmas emails
Timing is everything during the holiday season — whether you’re announcing a Christmas sale, sending seasonal greetings, or sharing last-minute gift guides. Email remains the most effective channel for holiday marketing, with Litmus reporting a 45:1 email marketing ROI for the retail, e-commerce and consumer goods industries. So having ready-to-use templates for Christmas emails can be a real lifesaver during the busiest time of the year. Right templates help you cut through the inbox clutter and help your Christmas emails reach customers right when the holiday spirit hits them.

Creating perfect visuals for Christmas email templates
Need festive images but don’t have a professional photographer on hand? Selzy’s AI image generation tool comes to the rescue! Simply type what you’re looking for — whether it’s “cozy fireplace scene” or “minimalist winter wonderland”. Or browse our curated collection of ready-to-use stock images and GIFs in the built-in media library.
Want to use custom holiday imagery? Upload photos or create animated GIFs featuring your products in colorful settings. After all, customers want to see twinkling lights, beautifully wrapped presents, and cozy winter scenes. Not just regular product photos. Take advantage of it and show them the Christmas magic they’re craving!
Make emails really beautiful by playing with seasonal colors and typography. Every element in our Christmas email template can be edited and adjusted without touching a line of code or calling in a designer. With Selzy’s customizable templates, you can turn a simple seasonal email into a memorable holiday shopping experience. Keep customers coming back year after year.
Crafting Christmas email content that converts
During this period of time emotions run high, and a dash of urgency can be just what customers need to take action. Include countdown timers to sales or shipping deadlines. They’re super easy to add with Selzy’s drag-and-drop editor. No need to create them from scratch!
Time promotions strategically. Start with early bird offers for organized shoppers, ramp up mid-season with main gift guides, and finish strong with last-minute deals for procrastinators. The key is matching your message to the customers’ mindset at each stage of your Christmas email campaign.
Integrate social media into Christmas email campaigns
The holiday season is inherently social and visual. It’s perfect for cross-platform marketing! Include your social media links (or better yet, festive social icons!) in Christmas emails to give subscribers a peek at some behind-the-scenes content, customer photos, and seasonal inspiration.
Take it further by promoting your mobile app. Selzy’s email editor includes pre-built app download blocks that you can easily drop into any template. Here’s why this matters: according to Statista’s Holiday Shopping Report, 67% of shoppers use their smartphones for gift research and purchases. Make sure your app is part of their shopping toolkit!
Speaking of mobile shopping, all our Christmas email templates are automatically responsive. Your subscribers won’t struggle with pinching and zooming while browsing your holiday offers on their phones. It just works, right out of the box.
3 best ways to grow your email list
Beautiful Christmas email templates are great, but you need subscribers to send them to! Here’s how to build your list in three different ways (all equally effective!):
- Themed pop-ups
Create festive sign-up forms with special offers like “Get a Christmas gift guide” or “Join our 12 Days of Christmas deals.” - Social media integrations
Use your social content to drive email subscriptions — promise exclusive holiday deals and early access to sales for subscribers. - In-store collection
If you have a physical store, collect email addresses during checkout with the promise of special offers and early sale access.
