Take some inspiration from YouTube and participate in an abbreviated โvlogmasโ โ post short โa day in my lifeโ videos on IG or TikTok every day in December leading up to Christmas.
Start a series featuring tips and tricks for how to have a stress-free holiday season. Ideas for this series can range from โHow to Host Thanksgivingโ, to โHow to Cut a Butternut Squashโ, and โHow to Store Leftoversโ.
โQuick Thanksgiving Side Dishesโ, โ5 Ways to Use Canned Pumpkinโ, or โMeatless Main Dishesโ are just a few suggestions of recipe roundups that you can put together this holiday season. The best part about creating recipe roundups is that you can use content you already have โ all you need to do is put your recipes together in a newsletter, blog post, or handy Instagram Guide.ย
Or cakes, or cocktailsโฆwhatever your niche is, go all in this year and celebrate with a series of holiday recipes leading up to the big day.ย
Do you have a holiday recipe thatโs a family favorite? Share it! Got a weird holiday tradition? Letโs see it! Hosting Thanksgiving this year? Give your audience a behind the scenes look into your kitchen on the big day.ย
If youโve got the means to do so, thereโs no better time to host a giveaway than the holidays.ย
Take a look at your analytics. What content performed well last holiday season? Take some time to reshoot the photos, revamp the recipe, or simply repost it as is.ย
