It's no secret that I love sending and receiving Christmas cards. But every year, I'm faced with one major dilemma: How to display them. In the past, I've hung the cards on our fridge or lined them up on our art ledge, but they quickly got lost in the background. So this year, I'd really like to put them front and center and somehow incorporate them into our Christmas decorations.

If you're scratching your head and wondering how to display your cards, too, I have good news: Holiday card holders exist, and I've already found the most stylish designs on the market. Keep scrolling to see the nine best holiday card holders you can buy right now.
