The holidays may still feel far off—but in the world of video marketing, October is go-time. If you’re hoping to roll out eye-catching holiday content this November or December, now is the moment to plan, shoot, and produce.

From heartfelt holiday greetings to year-end promotions and gift guides, video is one of the most powerful ways to connect with your audience during the busiest season of the year. But creating quality video takes time—and the earlier you start, the better the results.

Why October is the Smartest Time to Start

1. Beat the Holiday Rush
   By the time November rolls around, production schedules are tight, turnaround times are shorter, and many creative teams are fully booked. Starting in October ensures you have plenty of time to plan, shoot, and perfect your content—without the stress.
2. Launch Campaigns on Time
   Whether you’re prepping for Black Friday, Cyber Monday, or a December product drop, timing is everything. Having your videos ready early allows you to align with advertising deadlines, schedule social content, and stay ahead of your competitors.
3. Stay Focused on the Holidays
   The closer it gets to December, the busier your business becomes. Finalizing your video content now means you’ll have one less thing to worry about—and more time to focus on sales, events, or client appreciation.

Holiday Video Ideas to Start Planning Today

1. Holiday Greeting Videos
   A short, heartfelt message from your team to clients, partners, or customers adds a personal touch that email or printed cards can’t match. It’s a great way to show gratitude and humanize your brand.
2. Year-End Recap Videos
   Celebrate your achievements, thank your supporters, or highlight team milestones. These videos are ideal for internal morale and external marketing—especially for nonprofits or service-based businesses.
3. Gift Guides & Product Spotlights
   Showcase your holiday offerings in a way that’s visual, engaging, and easy to share. A well-edited video gift guide can help boost holiday sales and make online shopping more enjoyable for your audience.
4. Black Friday & Holiday Promo Videos
   Get attention with high-energy teaser videos that build excitement around your holiday deals. Think motion graphics, countdowns, and bold calls to action that drive urgency.
