Christmas Wishes for Coworkers
Updated November 2026
Work messages need a balance: warm enough to feel real, polite enough for the office. These wishes suit a team chat, an email or a printed card.
For your team
- Merry Christmas to a team that makes Monday easier. Enjoy a well-earned break.
- Thank you for your help this year. Wishing you a peaceful holiday.
- Happy holidays! It’s a pleasure to work with you.
- Wishing you rest, good food and time with the people you care about.
- Thanks for sharing the work and the credit. Merry Christmas!
Funny but office-safe
- May your inbox stay quiet until January.
- Merry Christmas! May your coffee be strong and your meetings short.
- Wishing you a holiday with zero notifications.
Short messages for email or chat
- Season’s greetings and best wishes for the new year.
- Thank you for a great year. Happy holidays!
- Have a restful break. See you in the new year.
- Warm wishes to you and your family.
Office message etiquette
Mention one thing the person did this year. A specific thank you beats a long general one. If you write to a mixed group, “Happy holidays” is a safe choice. Send it a few days before the break so it is read, and keep jokes about workload out of messages to people you don’t know well.
Frequently asked questions
What is a professional Christmas message for coworkers?
