Peak season means high stakes. Don’t just repeat last year’s playbook for the festive season—it’s time to think outside the box.

With consumer spending down and business costs up, the 2025 festive season brings unique challenges. Shoppers will be more selective about their purchases.

It’s a tricky landscape, even for the savviest marketers, especially as advertising costs continue to climb. So choosing the right platform is more important than ever. On Pinterest, you’ll find an eager audience and the right tools to drive results all season. From early planning to final decisions, Pinterest is where decisions are made for the festive season. 

Our audience starts planning on Pinterest earlier than other platforms, with 44% creating gift lists as early as October.1 They also spend 45% more on the festive season than people who don’t use Pinterest.2 They’re actively looking for new ideas and brands, so they’re receptive to your brand’s messaging and products throughout the entire season.3

With more than 570 million monthly users, your festive campaigns count on Pinterest.4 To help you get started, we’re sharing our 2025 festive season marketing guide. It’s packed with actionable tips and tricks, such as: 

  • Campaign tactics to make your ads perform all season long

  • Testing strategies to help you optimise results over time 

  • Lower-funnel product recommendations to build conversion momentum, even into January 2026  

  • Brand success stories to help you dream up new campaigns   

It’s time to ring in results, so start now. See the full guide to plan your approach.
