Stand out in this digital age with an interactive Christmas card! Christmas and New Year remain occasions when the tradition of ‘sending cards’ lives on very strongly, among both private individuals and businesses. Every year, around 50 million Christmas cards are still sent by post, and that in the digital age.
Score in the digital age with an interactive and surprising Christmas card
The Christmas card is almost as old as the holiday itself. We have come a long way since then, beyond the paper card with glitter that we used to have to write by hand to the entire address book.
For example, there are many companies that have opted for a digital Christmas card in the past. You can certainly leave a positive feeling with your customers using a modern and original digital Christmas card. But in practice, the e-card often ends up in the trash after just one click…
The physical Christmas card still proves to be the most appreciated. It is more tangible, less fleeting, and above all, more personal. However, with the enormous range of cards available, it is quite difficult to be original and distinctive.
The innovative Augmented Reality technology offers countless possibilities for this!
Augmented Reality
Augmented Reality (AR) is the technology used to add digital information to reality. One of the possible applications of AR is to make printed materials interactive and bring them to life. With AR, elements containing additional information can be added to printed media. Perfect for creating an interactive and surprising Christmas card, for example!
Xmas cARds App
With the Xmas cARds app, make your own printed or digital Christmas card interactive this year!
How does it work?
We have various fun 3D animations available for you to choose from, with a Christmas or New Year's theme. Dancing snowmen, Christmas trees, crackling fireplaces, popping champagne corks, and much more.
You can easily add a personal touch to the animation.
For example, by making a funny video Christmas message or an original group photo in a Christmas atmosphere with your colleagues. Or record a personal Christmas wish for your employees and/or business associates. We integrate these for you into the 3D animation, as you can see in the examples.
Additionally, you can add various interactive buttons if desired, allowing the recipient to click directly through to your website or social media pages.
Finally, we made your own Christmas card scannable for recipients with the historical Xmas cARds app. The animations can be displayed on both printed and digital Christmas cards. Depending on the type, we show the animation ‘on’ or ‘in front of’ the card.
Surprise this year with an Augmented Christmas card!

The historical Xmas cARds app is no longer available in the app stores. The effect is best when the markers are printed, but the added Augmented Reality can also be seen on a screen.
