Are you thinking of participating in Blogmas in 2023? The Blogmas challenge can be a fun event to participate in but can require some planning ahead of time to think of a Christmas blog post for every day.
What is Blogmas?
Blogmas is an event in the blogging calendar where bloggers post every day in December (or every day up until Christmas). It’s kind of like an advent calendar for blogs. But instead of opening a door to find a piece of chocolate each day, you read a new blog post from your favourite bloggers.
You can also participate in Vlogmas – which is the same idea, but you upload a Vlog to YouTube.
I’m sure you could also do Instamas, Reelmas, Tiktokmas – you get the idea! Daily content! In December! Do it!
Why should you participate in Blogmas?
Well, the best reason I can give you is that it’s fun! It can really get you in the mood for Christmas if you’re the type of person who loves Christmas and the massive build-up.
There’s also the satisfaction of managing to post every day. It’s a real accomplishment.
It can also be a way to accomplish a few of those blogging goals that you set at the start of the year, such as getting more followers or pageviews. Posting more and being more involved in the community can give your blog stats a bit of a boost for the end of the year.
Planning Blogmas
It’s important to remember that December is a busy month for most people. Depending on where you work, you might be working longer hours than normal. There are also Christmas parties and catching up with friends.
So if you want to complete a sucessful Blogmas, then it’s time to start planning ahead.
The easiest way to do this is to brainstorm your Blogmas post ideas. Then start writing them.
Check how long you have left until Christmas and decide how many you would like to write in advance. Currently, it’s 102 days until December 1st. Or 14 weeks and 4 days, which is plenty of time!
You could aim to write one or two Blogmas posts a week from now until the 1st of December and have everything scheduled.
Or you can cowboy it and just write a Blogmas post each day in December. Though it’s probably smart to have at least some posts written and scheduled by December so you have a grace period.
Just do what works for you depending on what time your lifestyle will allow you to have.
What should I blog about during Blogmas?
You can blog about anything you want! But most people use Blogmas to write content that is related to Christmas, or winter.

I did Blogmas once a few years ago and I found it so difficult! I definitely admire people who do it every year x
I don’t think I’ll be doing blogmas this year. It’s just not manageable for me at the moment, but props to anybody doing it! Such an achievement. Thank you for sharing your blog post ideas! Super inspiring!
