If you're looking for an easy way to invest your hard-earned money when the market reopens, then exchange-traded funds (ETFs) could be the answer.

But which ETFs could be top options?

Listed below are three wonderful ETFs that could be worth considering. Here's what you need to know about them:

BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)

The first ASX ETF for investors to look at buying after Christmas is the BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF. This ETF allows investors to buy many of the highest-quality companies in the world in one fell swoop. The BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF is home to the 100 largest non-financial shares on the famous NASDAQ exchange. Among the companies you'll be investing in are Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, and Tesla.

Vanguard MSCI Australian Small Companies Index ETF (ASX: VSO)

With many analysts tipping small caps to rally next year, then the Vanguard MSCI Australian Small Companies Index ETF could be worth considering. This ASX ETF gives investors access to almost 200 small-cap Australian shares. However, unlike many other small-cap focused ETFs, VSO has been designed to include a range of mid and small-caps and not just the tail end of the stock market. Among its holdings are companies such as Webjet Limited (ASX: WEB) and Codan Limited (ASX: CDA).

Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF (ASX: VGS)

A final ASX ETF for investors to look at when the market reopens is the Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF. If diversity is your aim, then this ETF has it in bucketloads. The hugely popular Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF provides investors with access to ~1,500 of the world's largest listed companies from major developed countries. This allows investors to participate in the long-term growth potential of international economies and not just the Australian economy.
