Christmas Pet Portrait Looks: Fireside and Twinkle Lights

A Christmas pet portrait is the holiday photo you meant to take every year and never quite got.

Two holiday looks are available from November 1 through December 31. Both work with just your pet or with you in the frame, and both can hold up to two people and two pets. Each Christmas pet portrait keeps your pet's real coat, markings and size.

  • Fireside Christmas pet portrait of a couple in their 60s with their goldendoodle by the fire

    Fireside Christmas

    Cozy by the fire with stockings hung and the tree aglow. A Christmas pet portrait that feels like the best part of the season. It's the one to choose for a family portrait with the dog, or for the grandparents' wall.

  • Twinkle Lights Christmas pet portrait of a woman holding her Siamese cat among soft lights

    Twinkle Lights

    Wrapped in soft holiday lights on a winter night. Gentle, glowing and easy to print as a card. It suits small dogs and cats especially well.

Christmas Dog Portraits From a Photo You Already Have

Getting a good Christmas photo of your dog usually means a costume nobody wants to wear, a stack of treats and forty blurry shots. A Christmas dog portrait skips all of that. Upload one everyday photo of your dog, add one of you if you like, and the portrait puts you together by the tree.

It doesn't need to be a Christmas photo at all. A summer photo from the backyard works just as well, and the look adds the fire, the stockings and the tree. Choose a photo where your dog's whole face is clear and the light is soft, like a window in the afternoon.

Christmas Cat Portraits, Too

Cats don't do holiday photoshoots. A Christmas cat portrait only needs one clear photo of their face, and they never have to wear anything. Twinkle Lights is especially lovely for cats, and a portrait can hold two cats if they share the house. Add yourself if you'd like the two of you together. See more cat portraits.

Christmas Pet Portrait Ideas for Your Tree, Card or Wall

One Christmas pet portrait three ways: a glass ornament on the tree, a holiday card, and a framed print on the wall

You get a full-resolution file and a print-ready 8×10 file. Nothing ships, so here's how people use them.

On the tree

Print a small round copy and place it inside a clear fill-your-own ornament. It comes out every year.

On your holiday card

Upload the file to any photo card service and add a line of greeting. The 4:5 shape fits standard 5×7 cards with a little crop at the edges.

On the wall

Print the 8×10 at home or at any photo lab, and wrap it in a frame for under the tree. Many photo labs offer same-day prints.

The Last-Minute Christmas Gift That Arrives on Time

After the shipping deadlines pass in December, most personalized gifts are off the table. A Christmas pet portrait isn't. Your previews take about a minute, and the finished portrait is ready the moment you pay, even on Christmas Eve.

It works for the people who are hardest to shop for: a dog mom who already has every dog mug, a parent who says they don't want anything, a friend whose cat is the center of the house. For more ideas, see our list of gifts for dog moms. Outside the season, every other look for custom pet portraits is ready any day.

Send now or schedule for Christmas morning

Share the gift page tonight, or schedule it to arrive at 8:00 AM on December 25 in their time zone. You can change the date or cancel until it sends. You'll get a reminder the day before it goes out, and a note when they open it.

Christmas Pet Portrait FAQ

Will I get it in time for Christmas?

Yes. It's digital, so your Christmas pet portrait is ready within minutes of paying, any day in December.

Is it too late on Christmas Eve?

No. Previews take about a minute, the original is ready as soon as you pay, and you can send the gift page that night or schedule it for Christmas morning.

Can I use a photo from last year?

Yes. Any clear photo works, from any season or year. The look adds the holiday setting.

Can I print it at a store or at home?

Both. Use the print-ready 8×10 file at home or at any photo lab. We don't print or ship.

Can I use it for our holiday card?

Yes. Upload the file to any card service. The 4:5 shape fits a 5×7 card with a small crop.

Can I give it as a digital gift?

Yes. Every portrait comes with a gift page for your note. Send it now, or schedule it for up to three email addresses.

Can I be in the Christmas portrait with my dog?

Yes. Upload a photo of you and a photo of your dog. No photo together needed.

Can I add my pet's name?

Yes. Add a name of up to 24 characters. It appears on the gift page and in your file names, not on the portrait itself.

How much is it?

The preview is free. One portrait is $19, and all three looks are $33.

Is this painted by a real artist?

No. It's made digitally from your photos using image technology, not by hand, and every portrait is new. Here's how it's made.
