Christmas Trend Forecasting for Coaches & Content Creators

By /

Most blogs tell you “watch for trends” or “look at what creators save.”
But nobody tells you where to look, how to look, what buttons to click, or what signals matter.

Here is the real, practical system used by high-performing template creators.

You can follow these steps today and start spotting Christmas digital-product trends before anyone else.

 

1. Pinterest: The Fastest Way to Spot Early Christmas Trends

Why Pinterest?

People start searching for Christmas in September, but most creators only notice it in late November.
Pinterest shows the shift early through Search, Trends, and Predicts data.

Step-by-step: What to check on Pinterest

A. Pinterest Search Bar (first indicator of demand)

Go to Pinterest and type the word “Christmas” or “holiday”.
Stop typing.
Look at the autocomplete suggestions that appear.

Examples you might see:

  • “christmas printable ideas”

  • “christmas planner pages”

  • “neutral christmas aesthetic”

  • “christmas instagram templates”

These aren’t random.
Pinterest only shows suggestions that already have rising search volume.

These are product ideas. Write them down.

B. Pinterest Trends Tool (exact visual trend data)

Go to: trends.pinterest.com
Search words like:

  • Christmas

  • holiday planner

  • festive

  • advent

  • winter aesthetic

  • styles trending earlier than last year

  • categories with off-season growth

This tool literally tells you what is about to trend.

C. Pinterest Predicts (future trend forecast)

Every year Pinterest releases Pinterest Predicts, which shows upcoming seasonal themes.
Search for: “Pinterest Predicts Christmas”.

You’ll find broad ideas like:

  • “Soft winter palettes”

  • “Warm minimal holiday décor”

  • “Calm holiday lifestyle”

These are powerful creative directions for your digital products.

2. Etsy: Real-time Market Demand for Christmas Digital Products

Etsy shows EXACTLY what buyers are searching for right now and it shows trends months before peak demand.

Step-by-step: What to check on Etsy

A. Etsy Search Bar (rising product niches)

Type in:

  • christmas

  • holiday

  • winter

  • festive

  • december planner

Pause halfway while typing.
Watch the autocomplete suggestions.

Examples:

  • “christmas instagram bundle”

  • “christmas planner pdf”

  • “holiday notion template”

  • “christmas clipart neutral”

These autocomplete terms are based on actual buyer behaviour.

B. Etsy Bestseller Tags (what buyers already want)

After searching, click on listings with a small text label saying: “Bestseller”.

Analyse:

  • layout style

  • colours

  • fonts

  • content type

  • bundle structure

  • price

Ask yourself:
“What version of this is missing?”
“Can I offer a cleaner, more modern version?”
“Is this available in feminine/minimal/neutral style?”

C. Filter by “Most Recent” (fresh sellers entering the niche)

This tells you what other creators just started publishing.
The patterns reveal where the market is moving.

3. TikTok & Instagram: Social Style Shifts Before Christmas

Social platforms show the AESTHETIC trend what people visually like this season.

Step-by-step: What to do

A. Search these hashtags:

On TikTok/Instagram, search:

  • #christmaseveryday

  • #holidayaesthetic

  • #winteraesthetic

  • #christmasdecor2024

  • #neutralchristmasdecor

  • #pinkchristmas

  • #cozychristmas

  • #holidayplanning

Look for:

  • colour palettes showing up repeatedly

  • décor trends

  • textures

  • photography style

  • mood (minimal, cosy, glam, vintage, neutral)

These styles become the visuals coaches want for their templates.

B. Check trending audio used in “Christmas planning” videos

If coach-style planners or aesthetic videos use certain sounds often, it’s a sign of rising demand.

4. Retail Stores: Real-life style hints (yes, offline shops)

Yes, offline stores matter, because digital design follows real-life décor trends.

Visit these stores (or browse their websites):

  • Target

  • IKEA

  • HomeGoods

  • Michaels

  • Walmart

  • H&M Home

  • Amazon Holiday Store

  • Big Bazaar / Lifestyle (India)

Look specifically for:

  • wrapping paper colours

  • ornament styles

  • textures (wood, wool, metallics)

  • pattern trends (stripes, stars, vintage shapes)

  • materials (paper cutout, handmade, neutral tones)

If stores push a theme heavily example: “neutral beige Christmas” or “gingerbread holiday” this will heavily influence what digital buyers find attractive.

5. Google Trends: Search volume patterns

Go to: Google Trends
Search for:

  • Christmas templates

  • holiday planner

  • Christmas Instagram posts

  • festive content ideas

  • Christmas digital products

What to watch:

  • keywords growing earlier than last year

  • breakout terms

This tells you the right time to publish.

6. Reddit & Facebook Groups: Real questions reveal real demand

Search Reddit groups like:

  • r/Coaching

  • r/ContentCreators

  • r/EtsySellers

  • r/CraftBusiness

  • r/DigitalProducts

Look for questions like:

  • “What Christmas freebie should I offer?”

  • “How do I plan content for December?”

  • “Any good holiday templates?”

These unfiltered questions show EXACT NEEDS.

Same with Facebook groups for:

  • coaches

  • Etsy sellers

  • Canva users

  • content creators

Check posts where people ask for help with:

  • holiday overwhelm

  • December content planning

  • festive branding

Each question = a digital product idea.
