About these templates

Holiday & Seasonal Email Templates

The holiday season is the busiest time of the year for email: shoppers look for gift ideas, brands thank their customers, and everyone needs to know shipping cut-offs and holiday hours. Seasonal emails work best when they feel festive but stay clear, with the important dates and the main button easy to find on a phone.

Use the Holiday Gift Guide to show your best gifts in a 2×2 product grid with tags such as "Under $25" and an "order by" shipping banner, and the Holiday Greetings email to send a warm season's greetings or happy new year message with an optional thank-you offer and your holiday opening hours. Both work for Christmas, Hanukkah, the New Year and other celebrations by changing the image, colours and words. For sales, see the Black Friday and Last Chance templates.

Holiday Greetings Email: A warm season’s greetings email for Christmas, the holidays and the New Year: a festive hero image, a heartfelt message to customers, a signed note from the team, an optional thank-you discount with a button, holiday opening hours and social links.

How it’s different
