Year’s Sale – I picked this one as my favorite for the New Year because although the colors are not what one would usually think of for the New Year, they work. It’s a reminder that it’s okay to try new things and spread our creative wings a little when creating our emails.

Templates to get us into the New Year:

If you aren’t ready to send your holiday emails just yet, get ahead of the game by drafting and scheduling emails in advance.

Moving into the New Year

I couldn’t finish out this post without sharing one of my favorite New Year’s holiday email templates:

Holiday Email Templates - Chinese New Year
Despite this template being designed for 2020, it’s still beautiful and timeless. And, in case you were wondering, the 2022 Chinese New Year is on February 1st, and is the year of the Tiger.

Just the beginning

While this may seem like a lot of holiday email templates, it’s just the beginning. Constant Contact also has holiday .gif email templates that are playful and fun — if you’re interested in something like that. And every year our designers create additional holiday email templates for you to choose from.
