Holiday Content Ideas for Creators Who Don’t Want to Be Cheesy

Create holiday content that feels genuine—not cheesy—with five classy and creator‑friendly prompts for Thanksgiving and year‑end.

The holiday season offers a rich content window—but many creators go overly cliché. If you want to keep it classy (or witty) while standing out, here are fresh content prompts for Thanksgiving and beyond.

Prompt 1: “What I’m really thankful for in my creative journey.”

Avoid generic holiday phrases. Share a short video or post describing one unexpected lesson, one mistake you’re grateful for, or one person who supported you.

Prompt 2: “Behind‑the‑scenes: How we prep content between turkey and chores.”

Show your workflow, unscripted moments, or how you balance holiday family time and creating.

Prompt 3: “Holiday content fails & fix‑it moment.”

Share a funny or humanising fail (holiday lighting, mic issues, family interruptions) and how you corrected it.

Prompt 4: “5 gift ideas for creators on a budget.”

Make it practical: affordable gear, software deals, or productivity hacks—rather than over‑the‑top gadgets.

Prompt 5: “New‑year vocab: What I’ll stop doing in my content next year.”

Use the holiday pause to reflect: what old habits will you ditch, what new ones will you start?

Why this works:

  • They feel personal and authentic—not just seasonal clichés.
  • They tie into the holiday mood but still focus on your creator or business identity.
  • They invite engagement: ask your audience what they’re thankful for, what fails they encountered, etc.
