Likely place to find Christmas greetings (2,3,5)

I believe the answer is:

on the cards

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'likely' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'to find christmas greetings' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'greetings' could be 'cards' (card is a kind of greeting) and 'cards' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'place' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for on the cards that I've seen before include "Where pips are" , "A merry Christmas is" , "Quite possible (colloq.)" , "Quite likely" , "place for 6 19 [SEASONALMESSAGES]" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
