Christmas is a time of giving, but it’s also a time of getting.
If you’re not sure what to ask for this Christmas, you might find inspiration in our Christmas haul ideas.
We’ve compiled a list of some of our favorite things that we think would make great Christmas gifts.
So whether you’re shopping for someone else or making your own Christmas list, you’ll find some great ideas here.
1. Create a Haul Video
Haul videos are a great way to share your new presents with your followers.
You can do a haul of anything you want: clothes, makeup, toys, electronics, etc. The possibilities are endless!
The best part about haul videos is that you can make them as long or as short as you want.
You can also talk about each item in detail or just give a quick overview. It’s totally up to you!
2. Host a Live Unboxing
If you’re a big fan of the YouTube hauls, you can give the trend a fun holiday twist by hosting a live unboxing on social media.
You can also record your unboxing and upload it to your IGTV or YouTube channel.
Not only is unboxing a great way to share your new gifts, but it can also be a
fun way to get in some extra face time with friends and family who couldn’t make it to your Christmas celebration.
3. Create a Christmas Gift Guide
If you’re a blogger or influencer, you can create a Christmas gift guide to share on your website or social media channels.
You can include products you’ve already purchased, or you can use affiliate links to recommend products you haven’t bought yet.
Gift guides are a great way to provide value to your audience and make money at the same time.
Be sure to include products at different price points to appeal to a variety of budgets.
4. Share Your Christmas Morning
What kind of presents did you receive? What are you most excited about? What are your plans for the day?
These are all questions you can answer in a Christmas morning vlog.
You can make it as long or as short as you want, but it’s a fun way to share a little bit of your personal life and your family traditions with your subscribers.
5. Host a Christmas Giveaway
One of the best things about the holiday season is giving to others, and what better way to get in the spirit than by hosting a
Christmas giveaway on your YouTube channel?
You can give away anything you like, from gift cards to your favorite stores to the products you feature in your video.
Just be sure to let your viewers know how they can enter to win and when the giveaway will end.
You can even team up with other YouTubers to make your giveaway extra special and to help you reach more people.
6. Host a Christmas Q&A
If you have a lot of Christmas content you want to share with your viewers,
you could always host a Q&A where you answer all the questions they have about your holiday season.
You can keep it Christmas-themed by asking your viewers to submit their questions ahead of time and then answer them in a video.
7. Do a Christmas Lookbook
If you’re a fashion lover, doing a lookbook is a great way to show off your Christmas outfits.
You can also do a winter lookbook if you have a lot of outfits to show off and want to create a video that’s not specific to Christmas.
You can also do a lookbook based on a specific theme, such as a cozy Christmas lookbook,
a casual Christmas lookbook, or a glam Christmas lookbook.
8. Share Your Christmas Wish List
If you’re a parent who needs to find the perfect gift for your child, or you’re a kid who wants to share what you’re wishing for, filming a
Christmas wish list is a great way to let your family and friends know what you’re hoping to get.
You can even share a few ideas for people who are stumped on what to get you.
And if you’re a parent, this is a great way to get ideas for what your kids want for Christmas.
9. Create a Christmas Tag Video
A Christmas tag video is a fun way to answer questions about your favorite holiday traditions, foods, and more.
You can even get your friends and family in on the fun and have them answer the questions, too.
There are tons of Christmas tag videos on YouTube, so you can either come up with your own questions or use a premade list.
Just be sure to give credit to the person who created the tag you’re using!
10. Share Your Christmas Traditions
If you have certain traditions that you do every year, why not share them with your followers?
You can film a vlog-style video and take them along as you decorate your house, bake cookies, or drive around and look at Christmas lights.
You can also share your favorite Christmas recipes, or even film a video with your family members and do a Q&A about your Christmas traditions.
Sharing your traditions is a great way to let your followers get to know you better, and
it can also give them some fun ideas for Christmas activities to do with their friends and family.
11. Host a Christmas DIY Challenge
If you’re looking for a fun and festive way to get your friends together, try hosting a Christmas DIY challenge.
This is a great way to get everyone in the holiday spirit and show off your creative skills.
To set up your challenge, pick a theme and a few different DIY projects that fit that theme.
For example, you could do an ornament-making challenge and provide materials for three different ornament ideas.
Or if you’re into baking, you could do a cookie-decorating challenge.
Set a time limit for the challenge, and make sure to have plenty of snacks and drinks on hand.
At the end of the challenge, have everyone vote on their favorite project, and award a prize to the winner.
12. Share a Recipe
If you’re a foodie, this one is for you! Share a recipe you love to make for the holidays.
You can even turn it into a cooking video and share the entire process from start to finish. Don’t forget to show off the final product!
This is a great way to show your audience a little bit of your personality while also sharing something they can make for their own holiday celebrations.
13. Do a Christmas Room Tour
If you’re really into decorating for the holidays, then you might want to do a Christmas room tour.
This is a great way to show off all of your hard work and creativity.
You can also include any Christmas gifts you’ve already received in your room tour video.
14. Share Your Stocking Stuffers
If you’re still shopping for stocking stuffers, you can pick up a few extra gifts and create a fun video to share your ideas with your followers.
Don’t forget to share your favorite stocking stuffers for kids and adults.
Your followers will love your ideas and the fact that you’ve made it so easy for them to shop.
15. Host a Christmas Favorites Video
Create a video to share your top 10 favorite things about Christmas.
You can share your favorite recipes, traditions, movies, or even your favorite products.
You can also share your favorite things about the holiday season in general, like your top 10 favorite Christmas songs.
It’s a great way to share a little bit about yourself and your life, but in a way that’s very structured and easy to film.
16. Share Your Christmas Memories
The holiday season is a great time to reflect on the past year.
You can film a video sharing your favorite Christmas memories, or you can make a whole video dedicated to the year.
If you have a lot of family videos, you can put them all together and create a beautiful montage.
You can even ask your family members to share their favorite memories with you and include them in your video.
17. Create a Christmas Slideshow
If you have a lot to share from your Christmas haul, you can create a slideshow.
You can use a photo-editing app or even just your phone to add music and text to your photos.
Then, you can upload your slideshow to YouTube, your IGTV, or even TikTok. You can also share it in your Instagram Stories in multiple clips.
18. Share Your Christmas Cards
If you send out Christmas cards, share them in a video! You can also share your cards in a blog post, on Instagram, or even on a podcast.
If you’re a content creator and you get cards from brands, you can share those cards in a video or on Instagram.
I’ve seen a lot of influencers do that and I think it’s a great way to show some appreciation to the brands you work with.
19. Host a Christmas Challenge
Gather your friends and family and host a Christmas challenge. You can create your own challenges or use a pre-made one from YouTube.
This is a great way to get everyone involved in your video and it’s a fun and lighthearted way to celebrate the holidays.
20. Create a Christmas Story
The night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse…
except for your family, who can’t wait to rip into their presents!
If you’re planning a Christmas Eve unboxing with your loved ones, then consider creating a Christmas story for your haul video.
The idea is to go through each of your gifts and share a little story about how you received it, why it’s special to you, or how you think you’ll use it.
This is a great way to make your haul video more personal and heartfelt. Plus, if you’re sharing the video with loved ones, they’ll enjoy hearing your stories.
21. Share Your Christmas Music Playlist
If you’re a music lover, one of the best ways to share your holiday spirit is to make a Christmas music playlist.
You can even make it a collaborative playlist so friends and family can add their favorite songs, too.
Once you’ve created your playlist, you can share it on social media, your blog or YouTube channel.
If you’re a musician, you can even create your own cover of a classic Christmas song and share it on your platform of choice.
22. Host a Christmas Karaoke Party
Christmas parties don’t have to be formal or fancy. If you’re looking for a fun and easy way to entertain friends and family, host a Christmas karaoke party.
You can find tons of free versions of your favorite Christmas songs on YouTube and create a playlist for guests to sing along to.
Pro Tip: Add in some non-Christmas songs to round out your playlist.
