What newsletter to send at Christmas
1. Countdown to Christmas
Start your newsletter with countdown for the Christmas. Create a visually appealing calendar or use graphics that represent the days before the big day. Include daily or weekly surprises, such as exclusive offers, holiday gifts or touching holiday stories. Make your readers look forward to each new email as they count down to the most magical day of the year.
How to do it:
- Use a striking graphic with Christmas colours and icons.
- Plan your content calendar in advance, ensuring a combination of offers and useful information.
- Include a call to action in every message, directing subscribers to your website or store for special holiday offers.
2. Personalized gift guides
Help your subscribers find the perfect gifts for their loved ones by creating personalized gift guides. Segment your audience based on their interests or demographics and create tailored recommendations for each group. Include images, product descriptions and links to make it easy for readers to buy what they want with ease.
How to do it:
- Collect data about your audience to create targeted audiences.
- Showcase a variety of products, ensuring that there is something that will appeal to everyone. Create gift guides for women, men, children, gifts for bachelor families, gifts for the home, etc.
- Use attractive graphics and clear calls to action to increase orders.
3. Interactive calendar
Add an interactive calendar to the Christmas newsletter. Each day, readers can open a new "door" revealing exclusive content or discounts. This interactive approach not only keeps your audience engaged, but also builds anticipation as they look forward to exploring what each day brings.
How to do it:

4. Christmas stories
Share touching Christmas stories from your team or customers.

- Collect and edit stories from your team or customers.

5. DIY holiday crafts and recipes
Showcase festive crafts and recipes in your newsletter. Who doesn't love a good Christmas food recipe or a unique craft they can create with their children, nephews, etc. that will decorate the Christmas tree? Share step-by-step guides or instructional videos that your readers can follow to create their own festive decorations or delicious treats. This not only adds value to your newsletter, but also positions your brand as a source of inspiration.
