Just because the Zombie Christmas Cards are a little morbid, it doesn’t mean that they aren’t festive. In fact, there’s one that shows one zombie dressed in festive light and even an [armless Santa](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personalized-communication-from-santa) makes a brave appearance in the apocalypse. Each of the greetings show off what a joyous season looks like during the [zombie apocalypse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnaholic-cemetery-box) and it definitely seems like a time of togetherness—well, for survival purposes anyway. For the zombie fanatic, these greetings will definitely be a welcomed change. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Special](https://www.trendhunter.com/special) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Alternative Holiday Imagery:** Creating holiday cards with alternative imagery can offer a new and unique experience for consumers. - **Morbid/horror-themed Holidays:** Embracing morbidity and horror themes during holidays can give consumers an alternative way to celebrate. - **Pop Culture Crossover Products:** Combining pop culture concepts with holiday themes can generate buzz and attract fans of both genres. ### Where This Applies - **Greeting Card Industry:** There is an opportunity for the greeting card industry to expand their product offerings to include alternative holiday cards. - **Horror/pop Culture Merchandise:** The horror and pop culture merchandise industry can explore creating more holiday-themed products to tap into the holiday market. - **Event Planning Industry:** Incorporating morbid/horror themes into holiday events and parties can attract a niche market looking for unique experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fashionable Zombie Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zombaes-critter-chaos.md) - [Fued-Inspired Christmas Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonpig.md) - [Undead Easter Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sugar-plum-chocolate-zombie-bunny.md) - [Water Brand Wrapping Paper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-death-wrapping-paper.md) - [Festive Digital Musician Greetings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creatacard-greetings.md) - [Personalized Holiday Newsletters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pics-wishes.md) - [Unconventional Valentine Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/happy-disingenuous-romance-day-valentine-card.md) - [Festively Macabre Rums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/original-spiced-rum.md) - [Greeting-Card-Inspired Soda Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-can-cards.md)
