Write the Perfect Christmas Card in Korean 🎄📝

Want to surprise friends, family, teachers, or coworkers with a Korean Christmas card? Let’s make it warm, natural, and super readable—even if you’re a beginner. Below you’ll find ready-to-copy messages (Hangul + romanization + English), plus tiny culture tips so your card feels authentically Korean. 💚

Quick culture notes 🎅✨

• In Korea, Christmas (크리스마스 / 성탄절) is often a friend/couple day, not just family.

• It blends naturally with year-end and New Year wishes. Pairing “메리 크리스마스” with “새해 복 많이 받으세요” is common.

• To older people/teachers/bosses, use polite/formal endings. To close friends, go casual.

Must-know card vocabulary 🎁

• 메리 크리스마스! (Me-ri Keu-ri-seu-ma-seu!) — Merry Christmas!

• 성탄절 축하드립니다. (Seong-tan-jeol chuk-ha-deu-rim-ni-da.) — Congratulations on Christmas. (formal)

• 따뜻한 연말 보내세요. (Tta-tteu-tan yeon-mal bo-nae-se-yo.) — Have a warm year-end.

• 행복과 건강 (haeng-bok-gwa geon-gang) — happiness & health

• 감사 (gam-sa) — gratitude

• 평안/평화 (pyeong-an/pyeong-hwa) — peace

• 새해 복 많이 받으세요. (Sae-hae bok ma-ni ba-deu-se-yo.) — Wishing you lots of luck in the new year.
