1. Social Media Graphics

Start by creating eye-catching social media posts to spread the holiday cheer. Whether it’s for Instagram posts, stories, Facebook posts, or animated posts, Canva offers customizable templates for each platform. Here’s how to create a festive Instagram post:

1. Search for Templates: Open Canva and search for “Instagram post” in the search bar.
2. Add Holiday Themes: Type “Holiday” in the search field to filter templates designed specifically for the season.
3. Customize the Template: Pick a template you like and replace the text with your message. For example, “Happy Holidays from Brand Locally,” and add your brand’s logo.
4. Enhance with Festive Icons: Add holiday elements like a Christmas tree, Santa Claus, or a penguin to make your post even more festive.

2. Facebook Post and Covers

If you’re running a holiday sale or event, Facebook is a great platform to reach your audience. Let’s create a festive Facebook post:

1. Search for Holiday Sale Templates: Search for “Facebook post” and add “holiday sale” in the search bar to find festive templates.
2. Customize Your Post: Choose a template that fits your brand, add your logo, and modify the sale details like “50% off all marketing offers.”
3. Apply Your Brand’s Colors: Use Canva’s color shuffle feature to match the post with your brand’s colors.

For the more traditional side of marketing, print materials like flyers, brochures, and posters are perfect for spreading the word about holiday promotions. Here’s how to create a flyer using Canva:

1. Search for Flyers: Search for “flyers” and filter with the keyword “holiday” to find festive flyer templates.
2. Customize for Your Event: If you’re hosting a gift-wrapping event, change the text to match your event details, including the date and location.
3. Add Your Brand: Include your logo, contact information, and any other important event details.
