Christmas Trends

Trends are helpful to look for when planning your marketing on Pinterest during the Christmas Season. Use the Pinterest Trends Tool to discover what keywords are trending up this year as well as what typically trends every year. Sort by location, dates, age demographics and interests.

Check the Trends Tool when you first start planning your Christmas Pinterest marketing but also check it again in early December. You’ll notice that some trends start very early (i.e., diy crafts) and others not until after the U.S. Thanksgiving (i.e., dinner ideas). 

Tip: The seasonal trends search filter is very helpful for identifying new and traditional Christmas trends.

Below are several trends related to Christmas showing in late November. Doing the same searches in early December will bring back some additional or different trends.
