There are many Christmas card industries now a days, so for that question you need to be specific. However, the first Christmas card was made by John Callcott Horsely in London - 1843.
The image depicted a family drinking wine. While this was not attempted to a christmas card, many decided it had that quality. Since then, Christmas cards have been given and made by thousands of different industries.
Most Christmas cards are printed fairly early in the year, long before they go on sale.

In terms of card type, Christmas cards are generally printed on photo card stock or paper card stock. Cards on photo card stock are typically called "Christmas photo cards" or "holiday photo cards" and are digitally printed onto photographic paper just like a photograph. These Christmas photo cards are available as flat cards or foldover cards. Cards on paper card stock are called simply "Christmas cards" and are printed on thick paper stock. Christmas cards that have photos (usually a family photo) printed onto them are called "photo Christmas cards" or "photo holiday cards". Originally, Christmas cards were available only as foldover cards or greeting cards. Now, Christmas cards are available as flat cards as well as a multitude of folded cards.

The first Christmas cards were commissioned by Sir Henry Cole. Illustrations were done by John Callcott Horsley in 1843. Although there was some controversy over the scene depicted in the card (the family was shown drinking), Cole saw this as a moneymaking idea. He introduced the â??penny postâ?? three years later, selling the cards for a shilling each.
