Best Celebrity Holiday Cards Through the Years: Royals, Kardashians and More!

These stars have always given Us another reason to look forward to the most wonderful time of the year! The countdown to Christmas is made all the more exciting with the arrival of some of our favorite stars’ holiday cards. The Kardashian-Jenner bunch are known for their lavish annual Christmas parties, but they can also put together a top-notch holiday card. The reality TV family have opted for more simple photos, like 2012’s all-white pic, to more intricate portraits, including their carnival-themed card in 2013. For 2018’s edition, the famous siblings — with the exception of Kendall Jenner and Rob Kardashian — posed with their children for an adorable snapshot. “Merry Christmas!! We all wish you love and harmony,” Khloé Kardashian wrote at the time. “So far this is by far my most favorite of any Christmas. I have all I could ever want. FAMILY.” Jessica Alba and her husband, Cash Warren, go all-out for their family’s annual holiday card as well, as they have posed with their children, Honor, Haven and Hayes, in matching onesies. When reflecting on 2017’s edition, the film producer noted that this would be the last holiday card he’d be the only guy in the photo since the Honest Beauty founder was expecting their son, Hayes. [jwplayer cI1chpST-zhNYySv2] “I’m having a moment,” he wrote via Instagram. “Merry Christmas Eve!! Tried to convince Haven that today was Christmas and Santa forgot about her but she saw right through it. Smart kid.” The British royal family are also no stranger to joining forces for an annual Christmas card. In December 2018, Kensington Palace unveiled a sweet photo of Duchess Kate and Prince William posing with their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. The photo showed the family of five smiling at Anmer Hall while surrounded by nature. Holiday cards have proven to be a tradition in the royal family, as they send roughly 750 cards each year. However, the beloved Brits participate in many more customs around the holidays, including attending church on Christmas morning. “The queen regards the festive season as a deeply religious occasion,” a source told Us Weekly exclusively in December 2018. From the Kardashian clan to the royal family, these star-studded season’s greetings cards get Us into the holiday spirit.
