After releasing 'Say it with Skype,' the online voice chat company is looking to go from sending birthday messages to Christmas ones with the Say Happy Holidays with Skype feature.

The Say Happy Holidays with Skype feature works the same way as the aforementioned birthday feature. The major difference though is that the company has enlisted the help of musicians such as Boyz II Men and Alice Cooper to help make the virtual card even better. Each artist sings his/her own rendition of a Christmas song and after it's done, a message will flip over for the recipient. Like 'Say it with Skype,' the sender can record a personal message as well. The cards can be sent via [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bolthouse-fresh), [Twitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunrise-carolers) or URL.

For those who have loved ones abroad, the Say Happy Holidays with Skype feature is a wonderful way to spread the Christmas cheer.
