Christmas Card Origin Dates Back To 1842
The first Christmas card was created in London in 1842 by William Maw Egley, an apprentice engraver aged 16. It took decades before such cards gained popularity, with American adoption rising after Louis Prang’s 1657 offerings. Over time thousands of designs emerged, and common symbols include poinsettias, holly, winter scenes, and Santa.
