Holiday Pet Portraits

Every holiday has its own feeling, and we have designed a pet portrait to match each one. From a Santa hat by the fire at Christmas to a seaside deckchair on the summer bank holiday, and from a quiet tribute on Memorial Day to fireworks on the Fourth of July, each page here has its own themed artwork style.

Choose the holiday you are marking, upload a photo of your pet and add a name if you like. The artwork is created with AI after payment, text is typeset by our software so names are spelled exactly, and printed versions can be posted to UK and US addresses.

UK bank holidays and US federal holidays

The UK and the United States share only two of the holidays here: New Year's Day and Christmas Day. The rest are different. UK pages cover the bank holidays, including Easter, the early May and spring bank holidays, the summer bank holiday and Boxing Day. US pages cover the federal holidays, from Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Washington's Birthday to Thanksgiving. Some dates also vary within a country; Scotland, for example, has its summer bank holiday at the start of August rather than the end.

Days of remembrance and reflection

Several US holidays are days of remembrance or reflection. Our pages for Memorial Day, Veterans Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth are written and designed with that in mind, with calm, respectful artwork.

A themed artwork style for each holiday

Every holiday page links to its own style, so the scene, colours and props are built around that day. You can see them side by side in the holidays and celebrations collection, and any of our other portrait styles can be ordered for a holiday too.

Dates that update every year

Many holidays move. Easter follows the moon, Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday in November, and when a fixed date such as Christmas or the Fourth of July lands on a weekend, a substitute or observed weekday is usually given instead. Each page works out the next date automatically, so what you read stays current.

Ordering ahead

Most portraits are ready within an hour of payment. Busy periods or complex scenes can take longer. Printed products take longer, so order prints and framed pieces early and check the delivery options and times offered at checkout.

Questions about holiday portraits

Which holidays have their own portrait style?

Sixteen in total: UK bank holidays such as Easter, the May bank holidays and Boxing Day, US federal holidays from Martin Luther King Jr. Day to Thanksgiving, and New Year's Day and Christmas Day, which both countries share. Each holiday page links to its own themed style.

Why does the date on a holiday page change?

Many holidays move from year to year, and fixed-date holidays can be observed on a different weekday when they fall at a weekend. Each page calculates the next date automatically, including UK substitute days and US observed days, so you do not need to check a calendar before ordering.

Can I order a holiday portrait for someone in another country?

Yes. Digital files can be downloaded and forwarded anywhere, and our print partner ships printed products to UK and US addresses. Prices follow the market you choose, UK or US, and start from £5.99. Delivery options and times for prints are shown at checkout.
