How to plan holiday posts
Pick 10 to 15 dates
Post where your customers already care: a day they shop, take off or talk about. Untick the rest before you export.
Start six weeks ahead
A commercial date needs an offer, a visual and the client's approval. Set the deadline six weeks before the day, and eight to ten for Black Friday.
One calendar per market
Mother's Day is March 7 in the UK and May 9 in the US in 2027. Brands in several countries need one calendar each.
Example: United States, 2027, the Thanksgiving weekend = Black Friday November 26, Small Business Saturday November 27, Cyber Monday November 29
Dates checked on October 21, 2026 against gov.uk, Japan's Cabinet Office, India's DoPT list, hebcal and each country's holiday law. Islamic dates may shift by a day.
