Christmas 2026 Order Deadlines
Order by December 12, 2026 for standard US delivery before Christmas, or by December 18 with rush. Every AmourPrint canvas comes with a free digital proof; your canvas ships 5–7 days after you approve that proof, and shipping is free on every US order. Approving your proof the same day is the single best way to stay on schedule.
Updated October 28, 2026: added the step-by-step timeline, the "which option do I need" table, USPS holiday cutoffs and a full FAQ.

What are the Christmas 2026 order deadlines?
| Option | Order by | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Standard (US) | December 12 | Most gifts: you have time to review your proof calmly |
| Rush (US) | December 18 | Late shoppers who can approve their proof right away |
The deadlines above are for US addresses. Every order includes free US shipping and a free digital proof before anything is printed.
How does the timeline work from order to doorstep?
| Step | What happens | What you can do to speed it up |
|---|---|---|
| 1. You order | You choose the song, names and date and pick a size (from $69 for 10x20) | Have the exact song title, artist and names ready before checkout |
| 2. Free digital proof | We email a digital proof of your design before printing | Check your inbox (and spam folder) and reply the same day |
| 3. Printing | Your canvas is printed and framed in Victorville, California | Nothing needed: the clock starts at proof approval |
| 4. Shipping | Your canvas ships 5–7 days after proof approval, free to any US address | Use a delivery address where someone can receive a large package |
For context, the US Postal Service's 2026 holiday shipping dates recommend sending USPS Ground Advantage by December 17 and Priority Mail by December 18 for delivery before Christmas in the lower 48 states. Our order-by dates are set earlier than those carrier cutoffs because each canvas is made to order after your proof is approved.

Which option do I need?
| If today is... | Choose | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| On or before December 12 | Standard | Order now and leave time for one round of proof changes |
| December 13–18 | Rush | Approve your proof the day it arrives |
| After December 18 | Order anyway and gift the proof | See "Missed the deadline?" below |
What do customers say about ordering before the holidays?
"I ordered right before the holidays and knew that there would be some delay because of that, and Kirstie informed me and said that if I needed it sooner she would rush it. Received my order yesterday and it was so beautiful!"
— Colleen M., Trustpilot review, January 4, 2024
Missed the deadline?
Order anyway and print or email your digital proof on Christmas morning with a note that the canvas is on its way. It still lands as a thoughtful gift, and the real canvas arrives soon after.
