Promotions Planner: Holidays Beyond the Holidays

Start presenting ideas to clients for promotional campaigns centered around December observances.

December campaigns are almost always centered on the big-name events of the holiday season. But there’s plenty of opportunity with unique observances to make those general year-end thank-yous a bit more specialized. Here are a few other suggestions for December observances worth celebrating.

Dec. 4: National Sock Day

National Sock Day is a particular celebration of the rarest of all phenomena: a matching pair of socks. And with socks still having a moment – even with strappy sandals – they’re a unique, on-trend choice for a fun appreciation campaign.

Offer colorful custom crew socks in holiday gifting kits aimed at children’s organizations or wellness initiatives.

Suggest that company managers or senior leadership handwrite thank-you notes to 2025’s highest performers on custom letterhead or stationery.

Dec. 9: International Day of Veterinary Medicine

December is a time when many furry friends tend to find their new homes as holiday gifts for children getting their first pet or families looking to add another member. It’s only fitting, then, that this observance celebrating the people who make sure our pets stay happy and healthy – veterinarians – is also in December.

Healthcare systems or vet offices can show a little extra appreciation for employees with a quality piece of branded apparel.

Feature an ugly sweater contest at the office holiday party, and gift the winner a nice bottle of something – complete with a sweater.
