About this challenge
Picture this, you and your loved ones are all gathered in the living room, buzzing from the spiked eggnog, and it’s time for you to unveil your holiday card. This is your moment to fill everybody's bellies with laughter as you share the funniest or most embarrassing holiday card of all time!
For this challenge, we want to see just that. Whether it’s a pop-culture card (“Winter is Coming”), a punny card (“It’s Christmas Thyme”), or a card that captures an embarrassing moment (like when Mom made us wear matching sweaters that one year), we want to see it all! Enter the Holiday Card Outtakes challenge and submit all your hilarious moments or ideas that lead up to the creation of this holiday card. Tell us what inspired this card and why it stands out. Be sure to include the holiday card photos and/or videos if you're still hanging onto them. Don't be camera shy!
