Christmas hashtags for Pinterest

Christmas tags work best when they name what the pin is: #christmasdecor, #christmasgifts, #christmascookies. A single #christmas tag on every pin is too broad to describe anything.

Hashtags versus keywords on Pinterest: hashtags are optional here. Pinterest search leans on the words in your pin title, description, board name and the text on the image, so a clear keyword phrase does far more than any tag. If you use hashtags, add two to five relevant ones at the end of the description. These tags are curated ideas with no volume data, and they tend to matter more on Instagram and TikTok.

How to use christmas hashtags on a pin

Timing matters more than tags. Publish Christmas pins from early fall, 45 to 60 days or more before the holiday, and use the tags below to describe each one.

Tag the content type first: decor, gifts, recipes or crafts. Gift guides benefit from a recipient in the title and description, like gifts for him, which hashtags cannot express well.

Example pin description

Easy Christmas sugar cookies kids can decorate, with a no fuss icing that sets in an hour. #christmascookies #christmasbaking #holidayseason

Christmas hashtags to avoid

Avoid using Christmas tags on general winter pins that will stay relevant into February, and skip #christmas on Hanukkah or New Year content. Seasonal tags age quickly, so a cozy winter living room is better tagged as winter decor.

The words before the hashtags do the real work. Find phrases for them in the Pinterest keywords for christmas list, generate more tags from your own topic with the Pinterest hashtag generator, and write the full description with the description generator.

Christmas hashtags FAQ

When should I post Christmas pins with these hashtags?

From September or early October for decor and gifts, earlier than most people expect. The tags help describe the pins; the early timing is what gives them a chance.

Should I use #christmas on every holiday pin?

It is fine as one tag, but add a specific tag like #christmascookies that describes the pin.

Do Christmas hashtags help shop pins?

A little. Clear product titles and gift guide descriptions help more. Use tags like #giftguide or #stockingstuffers where they fit.

Should I tag Christmas pins with the year?

Only for content you will replace, like a dated gift guide. Most Christmas pins can be reused every year, so evergreen tags like #christmasdecor keep them relevant season after season.
