The Best Christmas Quotes to Fill You With Holiday Cheer

Getting in the Christmas spirit should be simple enough, but it’s easy to get caught up in all of the activities that can make us lose sight of the true meaning of the season—think scrambling to buy more gifts, covering our homes in National Lampoon-worthy lights, and endless scrolling to find a the perfect festive movie.

Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, to be sure, but not because of the stack of shiny presents that tower under the tree; it’s because of the time spent away from the hustle and bustle of life so you can be with those who matter most. And the best Christmas quotes can help you refocus on all that’s most important and pure about the holiday season.

Whether you’re looking for a funny sentiment to write in your December 25 Instagram post, a cheerful quote to print in your holiday cards, or an inspirational saying to help you look up when you’re at a low point, there’s something on this list for everyone. (We also recommend repurposing these as lock screen backgrounds and story posts!)

This is a season of giving, of recharging, of being the best we can be. These inspiring Christmas quotes remind us to enjoy this special time with our loved ones, make memories, and celebrate traditions that'll be passed down for generations to come. Merry Christmas!
