Free animated Christmas ecard, with your face on Santa
A Christmas card that comes to life, plays its little melody and shows their name among the presents: the Cardiboo machine makes it in a minute, for free.
To make the whole family laugh, put a real face on the Santa costume, and add up to four more faces that burst in at the end.

How to make it, step by step
- Open the machine on “Christmas” (from November to December 25, it is the first occasion offered).
- Type their name: Grandma, Grandpa, your sister, the whole team…
- Choose “📸 With a real head” to see them as Santa, or keep a cartoon character.
- Pull the lever: giant gift, rocket or plane, snowy mountains or a cozy living room.
- Write your holiday message and sign it, then send by text, WhatsApp or email.
Christmas message ideas
- “Merry Christmas! Santa told me you've been very good this year… well, almost.”
- “Happy holidays! Wishing you a season full of laughter, cookies and cozy moments.”
- “Eat, nap, repeat. It's tradition. Merry Christmas!”
- “We can't be with you this year, so we're sending our faces as Santa instead.”
- “To the whole team: thank you for this year, and happy holidays!”
- “Lots of chocolate, hugs, and gifts that are not socks.”
Who to send it to, and when
- Family far away: the card opens on any phone with no app, and it can be made in Spanish, Portuguese, French, German or Italian for relatives abroad.
- Coworkers or the whole family: a card everyone signs, with each person's face bursting in at the end: that's the online group card (“👥 Make it a group card” button). For a mixed office, “Happy holidays” works for everyone.
- Timing: Christmas Eve or Christmas morning for family, the last week of work for coworkers.
Big news to share over the holidays? A scratch-off pregnancy announcement makes a wonderful gift. And a week later, it's time for the New Year ecard.
