Each of the chosen treats provided some interesting creative opportunities to demonstrate the superior print quality and versatility of Canon’s digital inkjet presses while also creating unique, interactive, and engaging direct mailers.  Hot chocolate, a gingerbread house, and holiday cookies proved to be the perfect treats to capture the spirit of the season and demonstrate the exceptional full-color print quality of the Canon varioPRINT iX3200 sheetfed inkjet press.  Solution The hot chocolate card features a QR code that launches an augmented reality experience, capturing the joy of savoring a fresh cup of cocoa. The card’s exterior pairs soft, holiday-themed colors with illustrations of steaming mugs of hot chocolate to whet the appetite for the unique AR experience inside. Gingerbread is arguably the quintessential winter holiday treat. The gingerbread house design is perfectly suited to a die-cut finish, creating a front flap that, when opened, reveals a holiday message. Holiday cookies carry a nostalgic magic that instantly transports many people back to cherished childhood moments and family gatherings. This transportive quality is heightened by the holiday cookie card, which has a tactile, sensory appeal. Its retro design evokes a welcome return to the simple pleasures of seasonal get-togethers, creating a cozy, heartwarming vibe. Together, this series of holiday cards helped the Canon sales team extend festive greetings by bringing to life classic treats that deliver a generous serving of holiday cheer.  ## See More Like This [ See More ](https://www.dotsandpixels.design) [![Project Spotlight: A Practical Giveaway to Keep thINK Ahead Attendees Cool image](https://www.dotsandpixels.design/hubfs/2025%20Inspire/10_October/2560x1440_D%26P_Fan.png) Marketing Collateral Project Spotlight: A Practical Giveaway to Keep thINK Ahead Attendees Cool ](https://www.dotsandpixels.design/project-spotlight/a-practical-giveaway-to-keep-think-ahead-attendees-cool) [![Project Spotlight: A Blank Canvas for Organization and Inspiration image](https://www.dotsandpixels.design/hubfs/2025%20Learn/09_September/1920x1080_D%26P_D%26P-Calendar_1.webp) Marketing Collateral Project Spotlight: A Blank Canvas for Organization and Inspiration ](https://www.dotsandpixels.design/project-spotlight/a-blank-canvas-for-organization-and-inspiration) [![Project Spotlight: Exploring the Wide World of Color image](https://www.dotsandpixels.design/hubfs/2025%20Learn/08_August/1920x1080_DP_WoC-09.webp) Marketing Collateral Project Spotlight: Exploring the Wide World of Color ](https://www.dotsandpixels.design/project-spotlight/exploring-the-wide-world-of-color) [![Project Spotlight: A Planner and Journal for Exploration and Discovery image](https://www.dotsandpixels.design/hubfs/2025%20Learn/07_July/1920x1080_DP_Explore-Quality-01.png) Marketing Collateral Project Spotlight: A Planner and Journal for Exploration and Discovery ](https://www.dotsandpixels.design/project-spotlight/a-planner-and-journal-for-exploration-and-discovery) ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "Organization", "address" : { "@type" : "PostalAddress", "addressCountry" : "USA", "addressLocality" : "Nashville", "addressRegion" : "TN", "postalCode" : "37203", "streetAddress" : "450 Rev Kelly Smith Way" }, "knowsLanguage" : "en", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://19970829.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/19970829/General%20Website%20Assets/img-hdr-4.png" }, "name" : "thINK", "url" : "https://www.dotsandpixels.design/project-spotlight/how-traditional-holiday-treats-inspired-sweet-holiday-greetings" } ```
