- Now & Then: Feature a Now & then theme in your best friend Christmas card by using an old photo of you and your friend and contrasting it with a new recreated photo of you and your best friend. This is a great way to show off the growth and changes you’ve both experienced through the years.
- Wishlist for Santa: Feature a cute or humorous wishlist for Santa that includes things from both you and your best friend, then sign it and pose with it for a photo.
- Here & There: If you and your best friends are separated for the holidays, you can still make your Christmas card. Each of you should include a photo of yourself in seasonal clothes from wherever you are, paste them side by side and include the caption “Merry Christmas from Here and There.”
- We Go Together Like… This fill in the blank theme works great if you and your best friend love costumes. Dress up as the two things that end the sentence and use that as the photo and caption for your card. Duos include things like peanut butter and jelly, Santa and his elf, or a pair of Christmas stockings.
Roommate Christmas Card
It’s a fun tradition to make a Christmas card with your roommate(s) to send to friends and family for the holidays. If you’re looking for cute ideas for roommate cards, we’ve provided some of our favorite below:
- Christmas Cookie Baking: Show off your kitchen, baking skills, and roommate all in one. Use a photo of you and your roommate, dressed festively, baking Christmas cookies in your kitchen, and pair it with your favorite holiday quote for your card.
- Wrapping Presents: Similar to the Christmas cookies idea, the main idea is to use a photo of you and your housemate wrapping presents below your own Christmas tree. To add a humorous touch, have one or both of you wrapped up in Christmas ribbon or and bows, holding a failed wrapped present attempt.
- Hanging Ornaments: This classic Christmas photo takes place inside your home or apartment as you and your roommate go to work at decorating the tree. Make sure the lighting is right for the festive mood and don’t forget to smile as you work.
- (Furry) Family Photo: Do you have a dog, cat, or any other house pet? Include them in a Christmas family photo. Bonus points if you all have matching Christmas outfits.
- Holiday Dress Up: Pick any Christmas theme and play a round of dress up. Blank, yet bright backgrounds work best for this kind of photo shoot. However, if you can’t get a solid background, just make sure the one you use is Holiday themed.
Christmas Picture Ideas for Best Friends
When it comes to Holiday or Christmas pictures with your best friend, you want yours to look perfect. Because of that, picking a pose or theme for your Christmas photo can feel overwhelming. To help you out, we’ve provided some examples below:
