A quick year-end note before [year] wraps up
Type: Professional, Relationship, End of year
The end of year subject line works when inbox are crowded, especially in December month.
The phrase lowers resistance. It feels human and doesn’t sound like a promotional email.
It’s a good subject line. Use it for B2B support and account-based email.
End of year email example:
Hello [name],
A short note as [year] comes to a close.
The past few months were filled with questions, fixes, tight deadlines, and steady progress.
That work mattered. Even more important was the trust behind that work.
Support conversations, feedback, and quiet replies have already shaped the outlook for the next quarter.
Our goal remains simple: keep helping, keep improving, and keep communication clear.
Wishing you a calm end to the year and a solid start to the next one!
Thank you!
A small gift, before the year closes
Type: End-of-year, nonprofit, reflective
Inboxes in December are loud with deadlines, discounts, and reminders. This line slows the pace on purpose.
Use it to end the year with a bang by giving your employees a small gift.
One last chance to support [cause name] this year
Type: Fundraising, Time sensitive, Direct
Tone: Clear, respectful, focused
End of year donation emails often fail when urgency sounds artificial. This subject line is straightforward, and readers understand what follows. It’s a simple ask.
Thank you for the work this year, seriously
Type: Appreciation, Relationship, End of year
Tone: Warm, sincere, slightly informal
Gratitude emails don’t need to be sound stiff, this line avoids that problem by using natural speech.
It’s perfect for emails to partners, long-term customers, internal stakeholders, and clients who stuck with you through rough months.
In the body of the email, start with an acknowledgment, express specific appreciation, and avoid trying to upsell.
Closing out the year with a short update
Type: Operational, Professional, Informational
Tone: Clear, steady, neutral
This line works well for operational messages where clarity beats charm. Readers know what waits inside.
Use this subject line to share service availability, billing timelines, or upcoming January changes.
Before the year wraps up, one thing worth sharing
Type: Business, Customer communication, Reflective
Tone: Thoughtful, measured, human
Many end of year email subject lines fail by overloading meaning. This one stays narrow. One idea. One update. One moment. And it fits well for emails that carry insight, a lesson learned, or a single announcement that did not fit earlier in the year.
Use is to share policy changes, roadmap notes, or service updates without sounding corporate.
Last-minute christmas wishes (a small surprise inside!)
Type: Christmas, Customer Appreciation, Holiday Greeting, Marketing
Tone: Warm, playful
Holiday email subject lines that promise a surprise usually see higher open rates.
Readers get curious when the content hints at a reward or gift. Use this subject line when reaching out just before 25 December, especially to segments that engaged earlier in the season.
Wrapping up december: a thank you from all of us
Type: Appreciation, Year-End, Relationship, Team
Everyone likes feeling valued, especially during the last month of the year. December is when most people reflect.
A message like this recognizes contributions and effort, and stands out from transactional, dry email subject lines.
Our december schedule: here when you need support
Type: Support, Service, B2B, SaaS
A December support schedule update often means two things:
- Fewer hours
- Slower replies
This subject line meets the reader where stress peaks.
A line like this heads off confusion and cuts down ticket volume about coverage times.
December email example:
Hello [First Name],
December brings some changes, support will still be available.
Here’s a quick rundown of the hours you can reach out for help.
…
If something urgent comes up outside these times, drop a quick message, and we’ll respond first thing.
Wishing you a smooth month ahead!
Best,
[Support Team]

Type: Marketing, Promotional, eCommerce, Loyalty

December updates: what’s changing, and what’s staying the same
Type: Operations, Support, Business, Professional
Sudden changes in December catch people off guard. New holiday hours, a different returns policy, or a shift in support coverage can land at the worst possible moment.
This subject line does something rare. It names the elephant in the room—everyone expects at least one process to shift in December.
