1. Blogmas
Ever heard of blogmas?
Blog every day from December 1st until Christmas. It doesn’t have to be something too long – it doesn’t even have to be text, it can be an infographic, for example.
But you have to publish every day. Blogmas is a fun challenge that helps you get used to blogging more frequently.
Make your first blogmas post explaining what blogmas is and committing to it. You can even set a small – or a big – gift to reward yourself when you make it. Talk about extra motivation!
An interesting alternative to Blogmas is Vlogmas. If you prefer making videos every day instead of blogging every day, here you go!
2. Christmas Decorations
Make a list with your favourite Christmas decorations. Where did you get them?
You can also talk about decorations you don’t have, but you’re going to get. Ask your readers what they think of them, and if they have any of them. If they have them, they can send you photos and/or give you their personal opinion on how good they are.
3. Christmas Pranks
You can have some fun while giving your Christmas gifts. Share your favourite pranks and, if you’ve done them, tell the story.

And if you want, you can also take it one step further, and have people from these cultures tell you the stories and their own experiences. That’s a little complicated, though, unless you know people from different cultures, but if you do it, you’ll have an awesome post!

Glad I could help!
Hey there, This was very informative article with beautiful content, I would love to read more of this content in the coming days. Thanks for sharing. Best christmas light 2020
You’re welcome!
I’m in awe how many creative ideas for blogging can be found here. I would never come up with half of them, let alone fifty. I personally like the idea of writing about how to find gifts on a tight budget or how to save money on Christmas shoppings, they both could make great posts. There are so many deals before Christmas so it makes sense to write a blog comprising of the best deals.
How to deal with awful relatives could be a good post too, it a serious problem I think to get along with them and keep your inner peace at the same time.
Thanks for these tips!
Hello Jenny. During this period of Christmas, bloggers have a lot of potential to make a lot of sales if they have the proper knowledge and perfect idea of what to blog about this period. I found this guide very useful.
I am planning to launch a music website soon. Not this year, but I’d consider greatly writing a lot of Christmas songs before and during December next year.
These are really good ideas for me to use for this Xmas. I was already thinking that i would be giving my readers a very boring holiday but your ideas are awesome. As an affiliate marketer, my best pick will be the shopping ideas so i can get links and let my visitors shop from my website. Thanks for this eye-opener.
Happy to help!
Well, thank you for this wonderful post. I think you really covered all that is about the Christmas theme. No one will be without ideas to blog after reading your post, that is for sure. Although there are many things about Christmas you could blog about, my personal favorite is your blogmas recommendation.
As a blogger myself, I will take it and start the blogging challenge on the 1st of December. I think it is a fun and engaging challenge which will help me with being consistent.
Awesome website by the way.
Strahinja.
Thank you!
Wow! This is really thoughtful and very well explained to understanding level for me. Left to me, I would have followed my normal routine of just 5posts in a month that I make use of before. But having seen this that you have shared, I just couldn’t overlook the fact that it is very possible to make good use of my blog during Christmas and December generally to take up the blogmas challenge. Really great
Happy to help!
This is a vey good post and i must say that your idea is very good. I wouldnt mind doing a blogmas where i would write everything that has happened to me the whole Christmas I am very sure that my readers will very much like an insight to how my holiday is going. I would spice it up as much as i can. Thanks for this
You’re welcome!
