Not only is this a pop-up Christmas card, this festive greeting created by the animators at Birchbox Studio features a lot of action. The animated Birchbox Christmas card is set up as if you're looking at a festively decorated house from the sidewalk at three singing characters—while there are two excitable dogs, there's also a very grumpy cat who doesn't share the same excitement about the season. The trio sings a short song about the holidays and even put on some bright red and green attire near the end. When their song in just about finished, the card delivers one last surprise in the form of snow that explodes from the chimney.
Earlier on in the video, it's revealed that the card is quite chunky and complexly crafted, but it would be an absolute treat to find in your mailbox.
