The 67 best Christmas messages to send on Whatsapp

Many people are far from their friends and family during the Christmas season, but thanks to technology, we can still talk or see each other online.

However, how can you craft the perfect message to your nearest and dearest? Euronews Next gives you our top tips on the best messages to send on WhatsApp.

How to write a nice message for the festive period:

• Write with each person in mind. It doesn't cost anything to add something personal.
• Emojis are fine, but don't overdo it. A couple of 🎄 or ⭐ are just the right touch.
• Avoid sending greetings at ungodly hours, e.g. 7:00. Use your common sense.
• A nice photo always scores points.
• Remember that not everyone celebrates Christmas in the same way (or at all).
• Be yourself, no fancy phrases you wouldn't normally use.
• And of course, if you are sent a festive greeting, reply. It's basic politeness.

To family and close friends

These messages convey what really matters. They are perfect for thepeople you love the most:

• May this Christmas your home be filled with moments that we later remember for a lifetime. May there be laughter, hugs and that warmth of home that we need so much. Merry Christmas! 🎄
• May this holiday season bring you all the good things you deserve. May 2025 be the year you finally get those wishes you've been dreaming of. A big hug ⭐
• I wanted you to know that you can count on me, today and always. May this Christmas bring you all the happiness in the world. Happy Holidays! 💝
• I wish you the kind of Christmas that stays in your heart. May the new year surprise you with beautiful things and special moments. Merry Christmas! 🎄✨
• Even if we can't be together right now, I want you to know that I'm thinking of you. Hopefully, next year we'll be closer. Happy holidays! 🕯️

Especially meant for those you can't see in person:

• Even though we are miles apart, my heart is there with you - I miss you all so much! Merry Christmas 💝
• The distance is a nuisance, but the affection is still intact. Merry Christmas, family! Hope we can see each other soon 🤗
