Want to know a little blogging secret?
Seasonal content almost always out-performs regular, non-seasonal content. People like seasonal content because it is fun and engaging.
Cozy fall colors are eye catching. Winter wonderland pics are highly clickable!
For bloggers, taking advantage of seasonal topics should be a no-brainer. But so few bloggers actually do!
To make it easier for you, I’ve done all the heavy lifting. Below, you’ll find Christmas blogging ideas for every blogging niche!
I’ve broken these ideas down into niched groups. Use the table of contents to jump to your curated list.
But first, let’s talk about Christmas content ideas that ALL bloggers can use to boost views and beat holiday blues! (Hey, that rhymed!)
Blogmas
Blogmas is a fun way to challenge your blogging chops and build your audience. But buckle up your boots, because it’s not for the faint of heart!
The idea of Blogmas is to publish one blog post daily from December 1st until Christmas Day! Whew, that’s a lot of blogging. Why would anyone do such a crazy thing? Here are ways that Blogmas can benefit your blog:
- Plenty of clickable, shareable blog content to promote on social media
- Reusable, easy-to-edit content for next year
- Quickly create seasonal content (instead of putting it off)
- Rally your readers around a fun Christmas event on your blog
- Generate more traffic & grow your email list
- Create seasonal Pins that Pinterest will love
- Challenge your content creation skills!
- Overcome perfectionism in your blogging
- Grow as a blogger
I’m seriously considering doing Blogmas for the first time this year.

Gift Lists
Whatever niche you’re blogging in, gift lists are always a great idea! Gift lists are very shareable on Pinterest and social media. They also tend to perform well on Google!
However, the best reason to publish Christmas gift lists is to boost affiliate sales. Professional blogging is about getting that dough!
Gift lists are the perfect place to link your affiliates. Whether you are selling courses or a physical product, a Christmas list is a great bang for your buck.
Try out one of these titles for your gift list, and start blogging!

Christmas Giveaway
If you want to grow your social media following, consider doing a Christmas giveaway!
How to Run a Giveaway
- Partner up with a brand or another account.
- Select the giveaway prize (can be a product or gift card).
- Decide on the rules for the giveaway. For example, how people can enter and how the winner will be selected.
- Set the dates for your giveaway – with a definitive end date!
- Start promoting your giveaway on the social media platform of your choice.
A giveaway isn’t a Christmas blogging idea per se. But social media engagement is an important part of blogging. Use the holiday season to your advantage and grow your followers!
Advent Calendar
Many brands sell specialized advent calendars that come with products. A blogging advent calendar is much simpler than that!
Your advent calendar can be an email sequence. Send goodies, freebies, or tips to your readers every day of December. This is a good opportunity to work with brands in your niche. Partner up to offer discounts or free trials!
An advent calendar is also good for your affiliate strategy. By offering discounts and free trials, prepare to see your affiliate sales boom.
Round Up
A round-up is a collection of articles from other bloggers in your niche.
Recipe round-ups are popular with food bloggers. But they work for any blogging topic! Try a holiday-themed round-up as your next Christmas blogging idea.
Benefits of Round-Up Posts:
- Quick and easy to write and publish
- Great way to connect with other bloggers in your niche
- Offer value to your readers by introducing them to other great bloggers
- Develop trust with your readers by becoming an information source
- Highly shareable on social media
Bloggers are generally open to participating in round-ups. It’s a free backlink from them, and exposure for their blog. Don’t hesitate to reach out!
Christmas Lead Magnets
It’s always a great day to grow your email list! And really, there are no better days than the holidays. Get your thinking cap on and start brainstorming seasonal lead magnet ideas!
If you’re a travel blogger, try a holiday destination guide. Budget blogger? A holiday budgeting worksheet is a great fit. Fitness bloggers can try a clean eating cheat sheet for the holidays.
Don’t be afraid to mix it up! Try out some seasonal email opt-ins and watch your email list grow!
