101 Christmas-Themed Instagram Hashtags for December

Jingle bells, jingle bells … jingle all the way!

That’s right, folks — it’s almost that time of the year again when Santa pays us a visit with his reindeer and our planners are full to the brim with social soirées.

I’m as excited as a little kid on Christmas morning. (Can you tell?!)

However, don’t go Christmas shopping, caroling around the neighborhood, or digging around for your mom’s famous sugar cookie recipe just yet. First, you need to take note of these Christmas-themed selfie hashtags for all your December Instagram content.

After all, the best way to spread Christmas cheer is by posting lots for all to see and hear.

How to Niche Down on Your Christmas Hashtags

Before I give you the Christmas hashtag dream list, it’s important to niche down on the hashtags you want to put in your captions.

Why? Well, there’s so much competition when it comes to Christmas hashtags. Many people see the festive season as the biggest event of the year — and everybody and their dog wants to post about it.

(Or their dog would if those little paws knew how to work Instagram … ruff ruff.)

Let me break it down for you real quick.

If you niche down by using hashtags to describe what’s going on in your photo or video, your post will be better suited to that hashtag. And Instagram likes to put the most relevant posts at the top of the Explore pages for specific hashtags (such as photography hashtags), which will then give you more visibility and engagement.

Hurrah!
