What is seasonal content?

But first, let’s talk about what exactly seasonal content is.

Seasonal content are posts that are relevant to a certain time of year like a holiday. It’s typically aimed at engaging readers who are searching for content related to these special occasions.

And depending on your niche, there can be a number of holidays that you could cover in your seasonal content including Valentine’s Day, Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

So when taking a look at the list below, brainstorm how you could turn these 100+ Christmas blog post ideas into hundreds of holiday topics. But for now, we’re going to focus on Christmas ideas for your blog.

Why should you post Christmas content on your blog?

Writing and posting Christmas-related content is a great way to attract traffic that’s already searching for winter holiday ideas.

And we all know that more traffic means more opportunities to make affiliate income, drive up sales on your own digital products or see increased revenue with your ads.

In fact, more and more people are turning to the internet for their holiday shopping and ideas. According to CNBC referencing Adobe Analytics, 2021 saw over $188 billion in sales over the holiday season and predicts this number may increase to $330 billion this year.

But besides money LOL, Christmas blog posts could potentially draw in readers within your target audience that may not have found you otherwise. It’s a perfect opportunity for you to engage with them and invite them to sign up for your email list.

Types of Christmas Blog Posts

Adding Christmas blog ideas to your site can come in different forms as there are different types of blog posts you could create.

So instead of wondering how to add Christmas ideas to your site, reference this list below to get an idea of the types of blog posts that will drive traffic to your blog and increase your holiday revenue.

Gift Guides

At the top the Christmas blog post idea types are gift guides. The ideas for this type of blog post are endless as they could be for a specific audience or a bit more general.

The best thing about gift guides is that you could potentially turn them into evergreen content as they don’t have to be specific to one holiday. All you need to do is change the title and sprinkle holiday-specific keywords throughout the post and create multiple pins for the different holidays.

You can start by brainstorming the top items in your niche that would make great presents for your audience. You can also check affiliate networks like ShareASale or FlexOffers to see which brands have affiliate programs and promote those on your gift guide.

Lists

Now list type posts are also great to create for the holidays as they can attract your ideal reader depending on your post idea. Some list type posts include Top # of xxx, Best of xxx or # Tips on xxx, and usually include a number in the title.

These blog post types are great for giving snippets of an idea that could either lead to an affiliate or product sale and guide them to other blog posts on your site related to the list idea. And we know that interlinking across your site is great for SEO.

Round-Ups

Round-up blog posts are great because you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. You can simply feature other bloggers who have already done the work for your Christmas blog post idea.

Many times, bloggers are honored to be featured in round-up posts and may even share it with their audience once it’s published. This means you get a chance to get more eyes on it.

Just be sure to ask for permission before using any of their images, but if you’re simply adding a backlink to their site, this isn’t required.

How-To’s

Lastly, another popular blog post type to write for the holidays are how-to posts. For this type of blog post, you can create endless amounts of content ranging from DIY, recipes and tutorials for just about anything.

The beauty of how-to’s is that you’re attracting your ideal audience and if they enjoy your post or teaching style, they may sign-up for your email list to keep receiving more tutorials from you.

And since it’s a how-to post, this means that a single reader may need to revisit it multiple times (aka more blog traffic) and have it saved somewhere for easy access to them, like Pinterest.

So you see, there are numerous ways to add Christmas blog post ideas to your site.
