What Are Season’s Greetings and Why They’re So Special

If you’ve been in the K-pop or K-drama world for a while, you’ve probably heard about Season’s Greetings. But what exactly are they? Let’s break it down in the most fangirl way possible.

What Are Season’s Greetings?

Season’s Greetings are special yearly packages that idols, actors, and entertainment companies release (usually around November/December) to celebrate the upcoming new year. Think of them as the ultimate fan planner kit. Inside, you’ll usually find things like:

• A desk or wall calendar.
• Photocards, postcards, stickers, and sometimes even DVDs.
• A planner or diary for the new year.
• And depending on the artist, cute little extras like keychains, bookmarks, or photo frames!

Basically, it’s the kind of package that makes your heart skip a beat when you open it.

When to Get It

Preorders usually start around late October to early December, but you can get it even after release, however, they’re limited edition (which means once they’re gone, they’re gone.) and chances are you won't find it easily.

If you’re planning to grab your bias’s set, don’t wait too long! Most fans preorder before the year ends so it arrives just in time for January.

Pro tip: keep an eye on your favorite store (like Korean Babes Tee 👀) for preorder announcements!

Why They’re So Special

For idols and actors, Season’s Greetings are a way to connect personally with fans before the new year starts. It’s like they’re saying: “Let’s spend another year together!”

They often include exclusive photo concepts you won’t find anywhere else like cozy winter themes, behind-the-scenes vibes, or dreamy studio shots. For actors, it’s especially exciting because we get to see a softer, more personal side of them outside their roles.

And for us fans? It’s a mix of organization and obsession (because who doesn’t want to plan their year with their favorite face smiling back at them?)

Why You Should Get One

If you’re the kind of fan who loves collecting, journaling, or just surrounding yourself with happy reminders of your favorite people, a Season’s Greetings set is perfect. It’s like a tiny dose of serotonin straight from your fave.
