Christmas Reflection Cards 2025
Free Christmas reflection cards to bless and encourage your community
Salvation Army research shows that one in five Australians who do not regularly attend church would consider attending church at Christmas or on other special occasions (internal Salvation Army research, August 2024).
Christmas is a time when many members of our communities naturally connect with us — as volunteers, donors, participants at Christmas meals, carols and events, or as recipients of ‘Christmas cheer’. This is an opportunity for us to share the hope and good news of Jesus, which brings us everlasting joy.
To support you as you share a message of joy with the community at Christmas, and invite people to your Christmas events, the Brand Department is privileged to again offer a complimentary Christmas postcard.
This year’s beautifully designed reflection card celebrates the hope and promise found in the birth of Jesus, the ultimate Christmas gift. Discover the full message below.
Some ideas for distribution:
- Add to ‘Christmas cheer’ bundles as community members connect for food and/or toys
- Encourage corps members to give an invitation to ‘that one special person’ on their hearts and in their prayers
- Give to volunteers, along with a small gift or certificate
- Use it as a ‘Happy Christmas’ card for businesses, schools or individuals who have been supportive
- Organise corps members to do letterbox drops — consider also adding flyers for other events/services (see Brand’s Christmas Toolkit)
- Give to members of Salvation Army community programs such as playgroups, senior’s groups or Positive Lifestyle Program meetings, possibly with a small Christmas gift
- Hand out at street ministry collection points, Salvos Stores or through chaplain

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit” (Romans 15:13, NIV).

Discover the hope of Christmas
Some gifts are useful. Some are fun.
Some are just… well, at least someone made an effort.
But they don’t fix a heavy heart or a hard year.
The gift we really need — especially when life feels overwhelming —
is hope.
Not wishful thinking or “fingers crossed” feelings,
but something real to hold on to.
Hope keeps us going
when the road is hard,
the answers aren’t clear,
and the future feels uncertain.
That’s the hope Jesus brings —
steady and strong,
reminding us that life is still good, even when times feel dark.
