Christmas and holiday trading plan: offer, creative, customer action

How can my business create Christmas and holiday trading images, videos and carousels?

Turn your products, services, brand and offer into campaign images, short videos and carousel creative. Create in Gloo AI Studio; use Gloo Local for the connected Instagram planning and publishing programme.

Before you create anything: agree the offer, available dates, branch details and one conversion action. Your caption, creative and destination should answer the same buying question.

Christmas is 25 December. Hanukkah runs from sunset 4 December through 12 December 2026; treat it as a distinct observance, not a Christmas promotion. These dates guide planning; they do not imply official festival participation.

Three starting points

Campaigns built around a real buying decision.

Adapt these examples to your actual products, prices and availability. They are sample briefs, not case studies or claims about customer results.

01 / Restaurant

A group dining campaign with useful booking details

Show group-size limits, menu choices, deposit policy and dates. Separate festive lunches from Christmas Day dining.

Creative brief: lead with the real restaurant product or service, use your brand colours, leave room for a readable headline and make the next step visible. Review AI-generated details before export.

Sample caption: Bring your team together. Explore festive group menus and check available dates.

02 / Retailer

A gift guide organised around the recipient

Use real products, budget bands, wrapping options and collection deadlines. Do not label every customer as celebrating Christmas.

Creative brief: lead with the real retailer product or service, use your brand colours, leave room for a readable headline and make the next step visible. Review AI-generated details before export.

Sample caption: Gifts for the people on your list. Browse our edit and check collection deadlines.

03 / Hotel

A festive visit with travel and dining clarity

Show the relevant event, dress code, family suitability and reservation conditions. Keep venue hours current.

Creative brief: lead with the real hotel product or service, use your brand colours, leave room for a readable headline and make the next step visible. Review AI-generated details before export.

Sample caption: Plan your festive visit. See dining options, event times and reservation details.
Download the brief and seven-day checklist

Seven days from idea to an approved campaign.

This is an execution sequence, not a guarantee that every campaign takes seven days. Give approvals, fulfilment and reservations the lead time they need.

Have these ready

Your logo and colours; actual product photos; confirmed offer terms; branch details; buying or booking destination; and a named person to approve publishing.

  1. Day 1

    Choose the audience, offer and one action you want customers to take.

  2. Day 2

    Gather real product photos, your logo, colours and confirmed offer conditions.

  3. Day 3

    Create the main campaign image and review product and text accuracy.

  4. Day 4

    Build a short video around the product, occasion and customer benefit.

  5. Day 5

    Adapt the story into a carousel: need, offer, proof and next step.

  6. Day 6

    Prepare channel-specific captions and export approved creative.

  7. Day 7

    Publish through your chosen channel or connected Gloo Local programme; measure enquiries, not just likes.

Create my campaign visuals

Before you launch

When should I launch my Christmas and holiday trading campaign?

Work backwards from 2026-12-01 to 2026-12-25. Start sooner when customers need to reserve appointments, order gifts or approve group bookings. Christmas is 25 December. Hanukkah runs from sunset 4 December through 12 December 2026; treat it as a distinct observance, not a Christmas promotion.

What does Gloo AI Studio help my business do?

Turn your products, services, brand and offer into campaign images, short videos and carousel creative. Create in Gloo AI Studio; use Gloo Local for the connected Instagram planning and publishing programme.

Can I use the campaign examples without signing up?

Yes. The sample captions, creative brief and seven-day checklist are public. Sign up to create assets or run connected product workflows. Product usage depends on your plan, credits, permissions and connected accounts.

Will this guarantee more bookings or a number-one search ranking?

No. Offer relevance, demand, location, competition and execution all matter. Use the campaign to remove buying friction and compare actual enquiries, visits and orders with an equivalent previous period.
