When the holidays finally slow things down, you suddenly have time to think about your business… and your social media. You may want to post more while you have a little breathing room, but then you run into the same problem: What on earth should I post?
Stuck On What To Post This Christmas?
If that sounds familiar, you are not alone. Many business owners open their social apps, stare at a blank caption box, and end up posting nothing. However, this is when your audience is scrolling the most, shopping the most, and feeling the most connected. Therefore, a few simple post ideas can turn that quiet feed into something festive and profitable.
To help you, we have created 12 Christmas social post ideas you can swipe and use right away. They are split into three easy themes:
- 4 gratitude posts to build connection
- 4 promotion posts to drive sales and bookings
- 4 behind-the-scenes posts to humanise your brand
You can type them up manually, or use tools like our Launchpad Writer to turn each idea into multiple captions for different platforms in minutes. Let’s start with the easiest theme of all: saying thank you.
12 Social Posts You’ll Love For Christmas (With Examples)
Need quick, ready to post ideas that still feel personal? Use these 12 options across three themes. Pick one idea, follow the bullets, then copy the example caption and tweak a few details.
