‘Tis the season for wrapping presents and sending Christmas cards to reconnect with your loved ones. While there are lots of classic Christmas card options out there, we think a funny card is a great alternative to a standard holiday greeting as it helps your message stand out. Warning: some might get you on the naughty list so proceed with caution.

Shop now at Amazon From Amazon If you want to keep your Christmas cards neat, minimalist, and entertaining, then this 10-pack of Fun Christmas Pun cards is a great option for spreading holiday cheer. Each card features some unique wordplay and you will get 10 unique designs in a pack.

Shop now at Amazon From Amazon Christmastime is time to find out just what you would give for a silent night. This hilarious card reimagines a classic Christmas carol as an instructional mantra for parents who need a moment’s reprieve from the holiday madness.
The outside of the card simply reads, “Silent Night,” while the inside reads, “Do you hear what I hear? Merry Christmas.” These cards come in red envelopes and are pretty much appropriate for any audience. This gag is ultimately for people with kids though, so if you send it to a childless couple it can come off as kind of creepy!

No ifs, ands, or butts…” If this design isn’t exactly to your liking, there are alternate prints on the same Amazon listing with some different flavors of funny. No matter which design you choose, it will come with an appropriate amount of envelopes so you can send these cards out as quick as possible.

Shop now at Amazon From Amazon These are the kind of lightly funny, kind-hearted cards that are perfect for sending to your more conservative friends and family members. Each box contains an assortment of 24 different cards, pulling from eight different designs, so you’ll get three of each design in every box. Many of these designs feature misbehaving reindeer who are too busy with their smartphones to do what Santa wants them to do. One nice perk about this set of cards is that you get 25 envelopes for 24 cards, so if you make a mistake addressing one envelope, you’ve got an extra.

The front of the card reads, “Very good you have been. On the Nice List you are” while the interior reads, “A Merry Christmas, you are wished.” This card ships with a perfectly sized, perfectly festive red envelope. We like this design a lot, but due to the somewhat high price of each individual card, this may be a better option for those with a relatively small Christmas card list. That being said, if you’re a die-hard Star Wars fan, you may be perfectly happy with the price of this funny design.
