Plan your content calendar and auto-post to Skool, Circle, or Mighty Networks
Holiday posts tap into a universal sense of celebration and belonging, giving members a chance to share their own traditions and memories. By inviting users to talk about their favorite in-game or real-life holiday moments, you create a welcoming space that values both cultural diversity and shared gaming experiences.
These posts are highly effective because they blend personal storytelling with community spirit. When members see their customs or favorite memories highlighted, they feel recognized and more likely to engage. The festive, appreciative tone helps build positive associations, creating a cycle of participation that encourages even quieter members to join in.
Gaming communities often include people from many backgrounds. By focusing on inclusivity and open-ended questions, holiday posts can make everyone feel seen, valued, and excited to contribute. This not only drives conversation but also strengthens long-term loyalty.

Choose templates that match the upcoming holiday or event, and customize them with your community's voice or branding if needed. Schedule posts ahead of time to align with global time zones, ensuring maximum visibility. Encourage moderators and top members to participate early, setting a welcoming example. Rotate template types to keep content fresh, and always acknowledge or respond to member contributions to nurture a sense of appreciation.
For all platforms, adapt your visuals and post formatting to fit each channel. Use images or GIFs for Instagram, Facebook, and Discord, while keeping text concise for Twitter and forums. Always moderate comments for respectful conversation, and pin or highlight holiday posts where possible for greater visibility.
Highlighting in-game events, limited-time skins, or exclusive holiday quests in your posts can drive engagement by making the holiday content feel directly relevant to your community’s favorite titles. For example, create a post showcasing your guild’s achievements in a Halloween raid or host a screenshot contest of the best-decorated Animal Crossing island for Christmas. Tying your holiday posts to specific game updates or seasonal content helps boost participation and keeps the community excited about logging in.
Use holiday posts to announce or recap special eSports tournaments, such as a 'Holiday Showdown' or themed brackets (e.g., 'Winter Cup'). Encourage teams to use festive tags or challenge members to custom holiday-themed matches (like snowball fights in Overwatch). Sharing match highlights, player spotlights, or even fun blooper reels can make your posts more dynamic and keep the competitive spirit high during the holidays.
Create holiday posts that offer something for everyone: segment your posts with quick shoutouts or mini-events relevant to each game (e.g., 'Secret Santa' item exchanges in RPGs, themed map votes for FPS fans, or holiday build contests in sandbox games). Alternatively, run a cross-game challenge, like a holiday scavenger hunt that spans multiple titles your community plays, and use your posts to track progress and share standout submissions.
Stick to original memes that reference well-known holiday gaming moments or community in-jokes—like poking fun at notorious winter boss fights or referencing notorious holiday bugs or glitches. Avoid reposting copyrighted art or assets; instead, create custom graphics using your own screenshots, in-game avatars in festive outfits, or hand-drawn illustrations of popular gaming scenarios with a holiday twist.
Host holiday fan art or gameplay clip contests where you set clear rules about content (e.g., only original work, nothing NSFW, must feature a holiday theme in a specific game). Feature winners in regular holiday posts and offer in-game rewards, Discord roles, or shoutouts. This both motivates participation and ensures contributions are on-topic and safe for your community.
Mobile players often enjoy quick, interactive content. Consider running daily holiday login streaks, sharing tips for maximizing event rewards in popular mobile titles, or creating polls about favorite limited-time holiday characters or skins. Use posts to highlight the fastest times for holiday speedruns or to organize group raids scheduled around holiday downtime, maximizing engagement for on-the-go gamers.
