Running communities thrive on connection, but holidays can make it tough to keep everyone engaged and included. Our Holiday Post templates make it easy to celebrate special occasions, invite personal stories, and foster a sense of belonging all year round.
Plan your content calendar and auto-post to Skool, Circle, or Mighty Networks
Holiday posts tap into a universal desire to celebrate and connect, making members feel seen and valued. When you acknowledge holidays and invite runners to share their unique traditions, you encourage participation from all backgrounds, strengthening community bonds.
These posts work because they blend inclusivity with festivity, allowing members to express themselves while learning about others. They are effective conversation starters that lower barriers for both new and established members, providing an easy way to join in, share memories, and discover common ground.

To implement these templates, schedule them around major international, national, or community-specific holidays. Personalize the message to reflect your community's voice and the holiday's relevance. Encourage replies by tagging a few regular members or sharing your own story first. Monitor responses, respond to member posts, and consider highlighting unique or heartwarming stories to keep the conversation lively.
For all platforms, use clear images or emojis to add visual festivity, but always provide descriptive text for accessibility. Adapt the post length to fit platform norms: keep it concise for Twitter, use detailed prompts in Facebook Groups or forums, and consider short video or story formats for Instagram or TikTok. Always respond to comments to keep engagement high.
Aim for major holidays and a few culturally significant dates throughout the year. Balance festive posts with regular content to avoid fatigue.
Recognize a variety of global holidays and invite members to share their own traditions. Use open-ended questions and avoid assuming everyone celebrates the same way.
Use these posts to gently re-engage members. Even if responses are low, consistent posting keeps your community active and welcoming.
Images and emojis add festivity, but always include descriptive text for accessibility. Adapt visuals to fit the platform and community preferences.
