Need some inspiration for holiday content? We’ve got you covered with 8 easy ideas to help make your holiday season merry and bright.
Gifts for home bakers, gifts for food lovers under $40, Black-owned gift guide for foodies, gifts for kids who love to cook…the list goes on and on. Get creative, recommend products you actually love, and don’t forget the affiliate links!
Take some inspiration from YouTube and participate in an abbreviated “vlogmas” – post short “a day in my life” 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 “How to Host Thanksgiving”, to “How to Cut a Butternut Squash”, and “How to Store Leftovers”.
“Quick Thanksgiving Side Dishes”, “5 Ways to Use Canned Pumpkin”, or “Meatless Main Dishes” 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 – all you need to do is put your recipes together in a newsletter, blog post, or handy Instagram Guide.
Or cakes, or cocktails…whatever your niche is, go all in this year and celebrate with a series of holiday recipes leading up to the big day.
Do you have a holiday recipe that’s a family favorite? Share it! Got a weird holiday tradition? Let’s see it! Hosting Thanksgiving this year? Give your audience a behind the scenes look into your kitchen on the big day.
If you’ve got the means to do so, there’s no better time to host a giveaway than the holidays.
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.
@giordanospizza partnered with @adamwitt on CookIt’s Talent Roster to shine a light on a menu favorite that often gets overshadowed by the brand’s iconic deep dish: its Tavern Style Pizza! 🍕 Thin, cracker-crisp, and cut into squares, it’s a Chicago classic that was ready for a broader audience.
Adam’s fun, personality-driven content made him a natural fit to showcase the menu item, creating a campaign that felt authentic while giving Giordano’s Tavern Style Pizza the spotlight it deserves!

Celebrating @phillycreamchs’ NEW Lactose Free Cream Cheese with the @zenograms team at @sarabethsnyc! 😋
We had the best time sampling the new lactose-free cream cheese in a variety of delicious ways, getting our gifted @lecreuset butter dishes engraved, choosing our favorite mix-ins to create a custom cream cheese blend that we got to take home with a side of fresh bagels.
It was also so great to finally meet so many of our contacts and friendly faces in person and continue building those connections! 💛
