Holiday Wishes for Employees, Staff, and Coworkers
If you are going to send a generic holiday wish to all your employees and coworkers, you’d better send none at all. People expect something personal that acknowledges their contribution and shows you care about them. They want to be noticed. They want to be persons, not numbers. If you have a few employees, make the effort to write a holiday wish for each of them. If you have many employees or colleagues, at least write customized messages for each department or position.
- Dear IT Department,
We couldn’t have had such a fantastic year without you. Enjoy the time off and take the opportunity to relax. No ticket will be issued until January. Happy Holidays! - Merry Christmas, dear colleague. I wish you an amazing time with your family, a great ski trip with your girlfriend, and all the joy you can take.

FAQs
What to write on a holiday card?
A holiday card has room for a short text, usually one or two phrases. Use them to convey your best wishes as tailored as possible. Include also a classic greeting, such as Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, or Happy New Year. If the card is meant for a religious holiday (e.g., Christmas, Hanukkah, etc.), you may add a religious message only when the receiver celebrates the holiday. It’s also common to include thank you messages, show appreciation and support, and extend your wishes to the receiver’s family.
