Pet parents: To us, they are our actual children, so what better way to show them off to our families and friends than including them on our holiday cards? Here are totally paws-itively adorable holiday photo ideas for your pets that will make everyone’s heart melt! Whether you’re snapping pics for your holiday cards or just want to spread some festive cheer, these ideas are sure to make your furry friends the stars of the season.

Under the Christmas Tree

What’s cuter than a pet chilling under the tree? Place them by the base of the tree, surrounded by wrapped gifts (or just enjoying the cozy vibes), and capture that peaceful, magical moment. 

Wrapped in Twinkling Lights

America's Favorite Pet holiday card ideas

Gently wrap your pet in battery-operated Christmas lights (safely, of course!) and watch them glow like a holiday star. The flickering lights will make their fur sparkle, and you’ll capture a photo that’s pure holiday magic.

Comfy Christmas Pajamas

America's Favorite Pet Colossal

Who says only humans get to wear holiday PJs? Dress your pet in adorable holiday-themed pajamas or a snazzy sweater and snap a shot of them all cozy and relaxed. Extra points if they’re lounging by the fireplace with a cup of hot cocoa (okay, maybe just a toy cocoa for them).

Gift Box Surprise

Pop your pet in a big gift box with a bow on top—now they’re the best present ever! You can take a funny photo of their head popping out, or get the “surprised” look when they realize they’re the gift. (We bet they’ll love unwrapping it too.)

Reindeer Paws

America's Favorite Pet Chrismas Reindeer headband

Put some reindeer antlers on your pet and watch them transform into a holiday legend! Snap them looking confused, excited, or totally proud as they pose with their festive headgear. Who knew your pet could pull off this reindeer look so effortlessly?

Pet + Family = Holiday Perfection

America's Favorite Pet is not a scam

Why not get the whole family involved? Coordinate some fun holiday outfits or matching sweaters, and take a group shot with your pet in the center. Family photo with a furry twist—what could be better than that?
