Create Your Own Christmas And/or End-Of-Year Banners

Create Christmas Email Banners

Want to create your own banners to integrate into your email signatures? Here’s how!


  1. Have a professional email signature;
  2. Define your target audience (who is your greetings message addressed to?);
  3. Establish your objectives;
  4. Define your theme (simple message, competition, internal holiday event);
  5. Set the duration of use;
  6. Determine which department(s) (marketing, sales, technical, etc.) will use the banner.

With these elements in place, you’re ready to start creating your banners!

How to Make a Christmas Email Signature? 6 steps to follow

01Write Your Message

Before diving into the design process, take the time to write your message separately—in a document or a notepad.


This approach helps you focus solely on the content, ensuring you stay true to your initial objective without being influenced by design elements.


When crafting your message, always keep your target audience and objective in mind. After all, it’s them you’re addressing.

To make a strong visual impact, your message should occupy the majority of the banner—it’s the first thing recipients notice when they reach the end of an email. For an easier and more effective writing process, consider using the AIDA method (Attention, Interest, Desire, Action) to structure your message.

02Add a CTA

The CTA, or Call to Action, is the clickable element of the signature, usually represented in the form of a button. It's an effective way of making your banner interactive, since the introduction of a CTA implies that the banner is clickable.


CTA Examples:


  • “Participate in the event”;
  • “Discover the offer”;
  • “Join in the competition".

It must echo your message and be adapted to your target.

03Add a Link to Your CTA

Adding a link to your CTA is essential—without it, the click will lead nowhere. The link must echo your message and meet your objective.


N.B. Avoid linking to your home page. Choose a link that adds value by leading users to a relevant page.


Once your message, CTA, and link are defined, you can move on to designing your banner. At this stage, you can focus entirely on the visual aspects without losing sight of your target or goals.

04Define the Right Format for Your Email Banners

The email banner format should not exceed 600 px in width and 180 px in height, to fit the format of an email.


In our experience, we recommend importing a .JPEG or .PNG image for optimum quality.


Don't neglect the banner format. This is important to ensure the deliverability of your emails and the display of your signatures.

05Design (While Respecting Your Graphic Charter)

Your banner should seamlessly reflect your company’s graphic charter—it’s not meant to look like a billboard or a Christmas tree.


Stay true to your company’s DNA by using brand colors and keeping gimmicks to a minimum.


For an easy way to design email signatures, you can use Canva’s signature designer. Alternatively, Adobe Suite works great if you have basic design skills.

To inspire you, here is the logic behind some of our creations:

The “Fir-Tree” Happy New Year Email Signature

Christmas email signature trees

This visual adopts a playful, minimalist style, blending simple geometric shapes (triangles, circles) with a warm pastel palette (yellow, green, coral). Stylized fir trees, symmetry, and modern typography create a festive, balanced composition—ideal for New Year's greetings!

Best Wishes Garland

This holiday banner combines minimalism with a playful charm, featuring floating typographic elements and a vibrant palette of contrasting colors like purple and orange. The letters are integrated into a dynamic composition and evoke a festive garland, while stylized illustrations add a cheerful, modern touch.

Celebrating the magic of Christmas symbols, this “best wishes” garland embraces a delightful “handmade” aesthetic that feels warm and inviting.

The Geometric Signature

Geometric signature

This banner showcases a minimalist, geometric aesthetic, drawing inspiration from mid-century modern and flat design trends.

Simple shapes—triangles, circles, and rectangles—are arranged to evoke fir trees patterns and other festive elements, all in a reduced, harmonious color palette (orange, dark green, blue).

The clean, bold sans-serif typography enhances the straightforward, modern vibe, while the precise spacing and symmetrical layout provide a sense of balance and clarity.

The Shiny Signature (Animated GIF)

Shiny Email Banner

This banner can be used as an animated GIF or in image format. Elegant and festive, it combines flowing handwritten typography with bright accents. The contrast between the vivid purple and the starry gold accents evokes a refined, cheerful mood, ideal for end-of-year greetings.

The overall effect is festive yet refined.

The Nostalgic Signature!

Nostalgic Holiday banner

For those who miss a bygone era, this 60s-70s-inspired banner is perfect for adding a little pizzazz to your good wishes. With bright, bold colors like fuchsia pink and fir green, the result is both pop and retro.

The Scandinavian

This banner features a clean and festive graphic style inspired by Scandinavian design. The simple geometric shapes and warm colors (fir green, red, and gold) evoke the spirit of the festive season. The mustard background adds a contemporary touch, while decorative elements such as stars, fir trees, and baubles aim to create a warm, optimistic atmosphere.

Rounded and Contrasted

Rounded contrasted banner

Inspired by the vibrant '70s, this banner features warm, contrasting colors—orange, yellow, and fir green—that create a unique vintage aesthetic. The rounded fonts (Genty, Asset) bring us back to the distinctive advertising world of those years.

Between the Fir Tree Branches

Wishes fir tree

With its fine, contrasting capital typography set against a pastel pink background, this banner exudes a blend of modernity and elegance. Green branch illustrations add a festive, botanical charm, while subtle drop shadows on the letters create a delicate depth effect. The result is a chic and minimalist design, ideal for refined and uncluttered holiday greetings.

Glamour (Animated GIF)

Wishes glamour banner

A variation of banner #4, this design introduces a more “nocturnal” and glamorous feel with a sleek black background and neon-colored typography. Bright accents are preserved, adding vibrancy, while the design comes to life when exported as an animated GIF, perfect for dynamic and eye-catching holiday greetings.

Pastel Retro

Retro pastel email signature

With its simple geometric shapes, this banner is both retro and playful. The typography (ITC Magnifico, League Gothic) reinforces the nostalgic aesthetic with its rounded, volumetric, and simple style. Hearts, pennants, and pastel hues are all yours!

On a Fir Green Background

Corporate Christmas email signature

This banner embraces an elegant, natural style with a rich fir-green background, beautifully contrasted by powder pink illustrations of foliage and berries. The central text, simple yet refined, is the ideal place to put forward an inspiring and professional message.

The ensemble evokes both the serenity of the holidays and a forward-looking ambition, ideal for Christmas corporate emails.

The Effervescent Banner

Effervescent banner

Reminiscent of late-night Christmas lights or the sparkle of champagne glasses, this bubble-backed banner captures the festive essence of the season.

To ensure the “Happy Holidays” message stands out, the rounded Klose Slab font is rendered in high-contrast white, creating a striking and celebratory visual.

The Dynamic

Dynamic email banner

With this design, we’re breaking the traditional holiday rules!

Forget the usual Christmas tree-inspired hues—this banner goes for pure contrast. The focus is on the bold Klose Slab typeface, whose oversized, impressive style grabs attention instantly. Dynamic star patterns add a modern, energetic flair, making this banner both simple and striking. Perfect for those who want to stand out this festive season.

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!(Animated GIF)

Greeting banner let it snow

This design features sharp tree shapes paired with snowflakes, evoking a cheerful, modern winter forest. The bold, slightly retro TAN Ashford typography adds festive energy, making it the perfect choice to welcome the New Year with style and enthusiasm.

The Gift

Holiday banner (stylized as a gift)

A cheerful “Happy Holidays” set against a background inspired by the classic stripes of gift-wrapping paper. After all, what if the best gift this season was the warm greetings you shared with your customers and colleagues?

06Add an Image to Your Banner

We also recommend adding an image that relates to your message. This will avoid any risk of inconsistency or confusion. In the case of your holiday email signature, avoid overloading your banner and prefer sobriety.

5 Benefits of Using an Email Signature to Send Holiday Greetings

Communicating via email signatures may seem insignificant compared with certain media operations. Yet the results can be impressive. Unlike “classic” channels, people don't perceive a communication banner slid under your email signatures as intrusive.

Email is the only communication channel where your message is unlikely to be overlooked—after all, 1-on-1 emails show an impressive open rate of nearly 90%. When combined with the emails sent by all your collaborators, it becomes a powerful tool to reach a wide audience, both internally and externally..

For a company with 500 employees, this translates into 20,000 emails sent per day—adding up to 400,000 emails over 20 working days. That’s a tremendous opportunity to reach a broad and diverse audience, including customers, prospects, employees, and service providers.

With this in mind, the email signature can help you stand out from the competition. It bypasses the winter media frenzy in a subtle, non-intrusive way, while grabbing the attention of your recipients.

As mentioned above: nobody expects to see festive email signatures underneath your emails. Unlike a “classic mail signature”, this festive version has the merit of attracting your recipient's attention.

And if something catches your eye, you'll find it easier to remember. This will also be the case for your clients, prospects or service providers. Why should they? Because it aroused emotion. If you want to engage your audience, incorporating a festive signature is a great way to do it.

Emotions leave a lasting imprint on us. Every memory is tied to an emotion: the joy of unwrapping Christmas presents, the guilty pleasure of indulging in that sixth chocolate... Emotion is a powerful driving force for human beings. It shapes behavior, influences perception, and guides choices.

By attracting your recipients' attention with a festive signature, you create an initial emotional bond: a feeling of sympathy, surprise, or curiosity.

When a person is emotionally linked to a brand, their perception of it changes. They are more receptive to communications. They become more receptive to its communications, viewing the company in a more favorable light. That’s why using your email signatures as a communication channel during the holidays is not only appropriate but highly effective.

By using your email signatures to send greetings, you create an opportunity to strengthen your clientele’s engagement towards your brand. Unlike emails—where only a quarter of the content is typically retained—email signatures, especially festive ones, enhance the memorization of your brand’s visual elements.

In other words, your brand becomes more easily recognizable. This increased visibility makes it easier to engage your audience and build stronger connections.

If you use a signature management tool with statistics, you can track clicks on your campaigns (by signature, period, etc.) and measure the real impact of your banners.

Why Is the Email Signature the Best Way to Wish Your Customers, Colleagues, and Prospects a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year?

Reason no. 1: The email signature bypasses the media hubbub.

Unlike “classic” channels, no one expects to see a communication banner under your email signatures. It's the only channel on which you can communicate without the risk of being overlooked.

Reason n°2: You attract attention.

Unlike a “classic” email signature, this festive version attracts your recipient's attention. If something catches your eye, you'll find it easier to remember. The same goes for your recipient.

Reason n°3: You create an emotional connection with your recipients.

By attracting your recipients' attention with a festive signature, you create an initial emotional bond: a feeling of sympathy, surprise, or curiosity. When a person is emotionally linked to a brand, they have a different perception of you. They are more receptive to communications. Their perception of your company will be different.

How to Create Effective Holiday Email Signatures?

1. Prerequisite: a professional email signature: It's vital that all the identification and contact details are filled in. Otherwise, you'll be hard to identify and won't be able to create a bond with your contact.‍

2. Prepare your banner mail campaign: Any promotional operation requires preparation. Without laying the foundations, you won't be able to create a successful campaign. To do this: define your target, the objective of your banner, your theme (what you're promoting), the duration of distribution, and the service that will promote the banner.‍

3. Create your banner:  

Step 1: Write your banner's message. Your message is the focal point of your campaign. Keep your target and objective in mind.

Step 2: Define a CTA, the clickable element of the signature.

Step 3: Provide a link behind your CTA.

Step 4: Define the mail banner format in your visual creation tool. Your banner mail should be no more than 600px wide and 180px high.

Step 5: Design. Add the above elements and format them according to the colors of your graphic charter.

Step 6: Add an image related to your message. Avoid overloading your banner. Keep it simple.

5 Mistakes to Avoid in Your Holiday Email Signatures

  1. Using an illegible or too-small font: Your signature should be easy to read, so avoid fonts that are too small or fancy fonts that can be difficult to decipher.
  1. Overloading with information: Keep your signature simple and clear. Avoid including too much information, visuals, or links that could distract the reader.
  1. Excessive use of color or animation: The use of bright colors and animations can make your signature distracting and potentially irritating for the reader. Use these elements in moderation.
  1. Adding kitschy Christmas images: prefer simple visuals and sobriety.
  1. Forgetting to test the display of your email signature: Make sure your signature displays correctly on all devices.
