First off, what are the Christmas color palettes that you should consider?

Traditionally, the most widely-associated colors with Christmas would be green and red. However, if you are feeling bold and would like to challenge the notion of this holiday, why not venture into contemporary Christmas colors?

1. Illustrative 

In celebrating this merry season, why not venture into something illustrative? Using a wide variety of art styles such as vector, cartoon-ish, or even animations would surely spruce up your social media feed in welcoming this holiday season. 

Even better, you can opt in choosing this style for all your posts this December. This way, the consistency is there for your audience to see and enjoy.

2. Minimalist

At its core, minimalism is all about designing at its simplest shapes. This would then make the main element in your Christmas card designs stand out as much as possible.

Minimalism also has huge potential in conveying a classy vibe to your audience due to its principle being “the less is better”.

3. Photo-based

Another common approach is to utilize photos as your background in your Christmas cards. Though it may seem overused and cliche, there are still many unique ways you can incorporate a photograph in celebrating Christmas. 

One thing for sure, don’t be afraid to get wild and creative! Remember to showcase your restaurant’s essence in whatever picture you chose. It can be a simple aerial shot of your merry decoration, or even a candid laughing picture of your staff wearing Santa's hat.

4. Opulent  

If you are going for something rich and lavish, then this style would probably suit your taste. Feel free to use golden texts, or silver hues. Pair either one of these jewellery colors with dark tones such as velvet green, crimson or even white for maximum elegance. 

Keep in mind that you can also include a hint of minimalism in this type of style too, just to ensure that your design would not end up looking gaudy.

5. Typography-centered 

Using only text on your Christmas card is also a great way to differentiate your brand from other competitors. This is mainly as this art style is yet to be adopted by many, especially among Malaysian restaurants. Hence, feel free to experiment with this approach to your heart’s content.
