Etsy is the online market place that satisfies every shopping need. The artists on Etsy provide quality work for affordable prices, and this holiday season is no exception!

While everyone is most likely focusing on the website's clothes and shoes sections this season, the card collection is definitely the company's best hidden gem. Each holiday card is unique and detailed because each one is made by a different artist. 

Equipped with clever holiday greetings and stellar designs, these cards are the perfect complement to any gift. With Christmas fast approaching, lets take a look at the top five Christmas cards featured on the Etsy website right now:
