Here at The Cinnamon Trust, we’re crackers about Christmas, and of course, pets! So, we thought we’d combine the two for a fun-filled, festive competition – with a delicious serving of creativity for good measure!

Christmas Card Contest

Our 2026 Christmas Card Competition invites volunteers, supporters, and pet lovers of all ages to create festive card designs celebrating our love of pets.

Think cats disguised as festive elves, snowy dog walking scenes, or even a bunny under the twinkling lights of the Christmas tree. However colourful, classic or imaginative, we can’t wait to see your ideas come to life!

Winning entries will be featured in our 2026 Christmas card range, with all proceeds supporting Cinnamon Trust pets and owners in need.

What to do

  • Create a lovely, eye-catching Christmas card design that reflects the Cinnamon spirit!
  • Use the medium/mediums of your choice – anything from printmaking to pastels, oil paints to collage!
  • The design must be A5 in size and can be in landscape or portrait format.
