Christmas marketing usually ends on December 26. The season does not.
Generic holiday kits follow the retail calendar. This one follows the Church year, which gives Catholic businesses two extra weeks to reach customers after everyone else has gone quiet.
Part 1 · Nov 29 to Dec 24
Advent
A season of preparation. Gift guides, Advent calendars, and "get your home ready" offers fit naturally, without a hard sell.
Part 2 · Friday, Dec 25
Christmas Day
Where most holiday marketing ends. For the Church, it is the beginning of a season.
Part 3 · Dec 25 to Jan 10
The Christmas season
Twelve Days of Christmas, Epiphany, house blessings. Your competitors have gone quiet, so your message has room to be heard.

Merry Christmas, still!

Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. Enter your name and email and the kit opens right away. We also email you the link so you can come back to it all season.
Do my customers need to be Catholic?
No. The templates are written to feel warm and natural to every customer. Catholic customers will recognize the season; everyone else just sees a thoughtful local business.
I run a professional practice, not a shop. Will this help?
Yes. There are posts, emails, and promotion ideas written for realtors, advisors, attorneys, dentists, and other practices, like client thank-you notes during the Twelve Days of Christmas.
Will there be other editions?
Yes. The Lent & Easter 2027 edition is next. Sign up for this kit and we will let you know when it is ready.
Advent begins Sunday, November 29.
Start this week and your first posts will be ready before Thanksgiving.
