Marketers need to keep producing new and fresh content ideas for all their social media posts at a cadence never seen before. With Christmas around the corner, time is short to come up with new content ideas to engage your audience this holiday season.

To help inspire you to create your Christmas social media campaign, we have compiled a list of the 51 most engaging Christmas Posts by brands in 2017 and 2018.

One key takeaway if you’re thinking of putting together a last-minute Christmas video greeting: last year, the majority of the posts by brands on all social media platforms were posted with images, and they engaged better with their audience than videos.

Read through the Infographic to see what worked and what didn’t work for brands this Christmas season.
