Christmas cards with a little magic inside

One scene per card

Elves that dance, a sleigh that flies over the card, snow that starts to fall. Each design has its own show in Augmented Reality.

Your photo and video

Put the family on the card, record a short Christmas wish or add a holiday video. It plays on the card, no app needed.

Printed or as an e-card

We print and post every card for you, in time for Christmas. Or send it by email in a minute.

Why send a Christmas card that moves?

A Christmas card lands on the mat, gets a smile and ends up on the shelf. An xrprints card does one thing extra: when the recipient points their phone at it, the card starts to play. Elves dance around the tree, snow falls over your photo or your family appears in a hologram and wishes them a merry Christmas. It is still a real printed card, on heavy 350 gram paper, but with a surprise inside.

Snowman Polaroid
Holiday AR

Snowman Polaroid

€5,90per card

A polaroid of a snowman on a starry winter evening. Scan it and the photo comes to life: the snowman dances and leans right out of the picture while the snow falls around him. Tap him and he hops.

Paper Sleigh
Holiday AR

Paper Sleigh

€5,90per card

A paper shadow box on a Christmas night with a line rider game: the sleigh full of presents stands on a drawn snow line. Scan the card and the box opens up in depth: the sleigh rides off by itself, tap to jump over gaps and snowballs, grab the presents and ride all the way to the Christmas star for your own message.

Dancing Elves
Holiday AR

Dancing Elves

€5,90per card

The whole family as Christmas elves. Add a group photo: every face gets its own elf, on the printed card and in AR, where they dance the samba together in the snow. Add or remove elves as you like, up to six.

Snow Globe
Holiday AR

Snow Globe

€5,90per card

A snow globe that stands upright on your card. Scan the card and the globe appears with Santa, a cottage and a glowing lantern inside: tilt or turn the card and the snow swirls like real water, settles and falls again. Tap to shake the globe, Santa cheers, and the brass plaque carries your own words.

Holiday Express
Holiday AR

Holiday Express

€5,90per card

A Christmas village with a toy train on your card: one wagon for every photo you add, each with a photo frame on board, so the whole family rides along. Scan the card and the train rides its loop past the gingerbread house and the tree, puffing smoke, the photos riding with it. Tap and it stops at the station, where Santa and the elves open a big present with your own message. Tap again and the whistle blows.

Which Christmas card fits who?

  • For grandparents and family far away: choose a card with a video or hologram. Record thirty seconds of the kids singing or the whole family waving. They can watch it again and again.
  • For friends and neighbours: an animated scene with a short personal message is enough. The Dancing Elves and the Snow Globe are favourites.
  • For a long list: order a pack. Every card gets the same design, and you can still add a different name or photo per card in the editor.
  • For clients and colleagues: add your logo and a short year review, see our business cards.

Tips for your Christmas text

Keep it short and personal. The animation already does the work, so two or three sentences are plenty. A few starting points:

  • Name the moment you look back on: "That weekend in June was the best of the year."
  • Look ahead: "In January we will finally come and visit."
  • Say what they mean to you, in one sentence. That is the line they keep.

Write the text in the editor and watch the preview: what you see is what gets printed.

When should I order?

Printed cards go to the printer within a day and arrive in the Netherlands and Belgium in two to four working days, in the rest of Europe in about a week. Pick an arrival date at checkout and we post the card at the right moment. E-cards arrive the minute you pay.

How does scanning work?

The recipient opens the camera of their phone, points it at the QR code or the front of the card and the browser opens the experience. No app, no account, on iPhone and Android. It works on the printed card and on the screen of an e-card.

Questions & answers

Can I put my own photo on a Christmas card?
Yes. Every design has photo layers you fill in the editor. Use a sharp photo in good light; the card is printed at 300 dpi.
How long does the Christmas magic stay active?
The AR experience stays active for six months after your order. You get a reminder before it ends and can extend it from My cards.
Will my cards arrive before Christmas?
Order before December 18 for the Netherlands and Belgium, before December 12 for the rest of Europe. Or send an e-card: that arrives right away.
Can I send the same card to many people?
Yes. Add up to ten addresses at checkout, each with its own quantity. Or order a pack of 5 or 12 cards and hand them out yourself.
