Social Media Holiday Calendar: October, November + December 2020
Does September feel like the start of a new year to anyone else?
It’s probably the effect of 16+ years of adhering to an academic calendar, but whenever September rolls around, we feel a weird need to stock up on highlighters and start planning.
While this year certainly hasn’t been like previous ones (😷), we’re still feeling the urge to plan and organize.
And we’re starting with our content calendar!
(We may have abandoned our Instagram back in March when it felt like the world was ending, so hopefully, this will help us get back on that wagon….😬)
We want to help you too, so we created a SOCIAL MEDIA HOLIDAY CALENDAR you can use to plan and generate content relevant to your industry.
With Halloween candy already flooding the stores (CVS needs to chill out), the major holidays are right around the corner so this calendar includes National and International holidays for October to December of 2020.
And next week, we’ll be sharing a full 2021 Social Media Holiday Calendar! So keep an eye out for that, too.
Our favorite social holidays are listed below (so bookmark this page!) and you can also download a PDF calendar version below that you can save to your computer or print out to tape above your desk. We’ve designed it with pretty photos from our native New Zealand so it’s nice to look at.
Use it to always have inspiration about what to post on social media!
So cheers to a fresh start this September: we hope you keep healthy, stay motivated, and never run out of content ideas. 🙂
P.S. If you plan to create video content around these social holidays, check out our NEW pricing for Subscriptions and Add-On’s HERE.
