Holiday posts to plan now, before November hits (2026)

The short answer

Plan holiday posts in October so you're not scrambling in December. A simple 2026 plan: push gift cards in mid November, post for Small Business Saturday on November 28, say thank you Thanksgiving week, remind people to book before the rush in early December, share your year in review, and invite early January bookings.

Mid November: push your gift cards

"Give them something they'll actually use." Post it the week before Black Friday (November 27), while people are making their lists.

November 28: Small Business Saturday

Tell your story and why shopping local matters. Ask people to tag a friend who should know about you.

Thanksgiving week: say thank you

Thank your customers or show your team. Real and simple wins here. No sales pitch needed.

Early December: "Book before the rush"

Remind people holiday spots fill fast. Make booking one tap.

Late December: your year in review

Best moments, best results, best reviews. People love a look back, and it reminds them why they chose you.

Last week of December: start January with you

"New year, first appointment." Make it easy to book early, before everyone else fills their calendar.
