Blog Ideas for December

December is the month when everyone suddenly becomes a philosopher, a baker, and a part-time elf. If you’re staring at your blinking cursor wondering what to blog about, don’t worry — I’ve got you covered with ideas that are festive, funny, and won’t make your readers feel like they’re trapped in a never-ending fruitcake recipe.

1. The Great Gift Guide (a.k.a. “How Not to Buy Socks Again”)

Write a tongue-in-cheek gift guide. Suggest things people actually want, like noise-canceling headphones to block out relatives asking why you’re still single, or a subscription to a streaming service so they can avoid awkward family board games.

2. Holiday Survival Tips

Forget “how to roast a turkey.” Blog about how to survive Uncle Bob’s political rants at dinner, or how to gracefully dodge the office Secret Santa when someone inevitably gifts you a mug that says “World’s Okayest Employee.”

3. The Ugly Sweater Olympics

December is peak ugly sweater season. Write about the most outrageous ones you’ve seen, or better yet, host a virtual contest. Bonus points if your sweater lights up and requires a small generator to function.

4. New Year’s Resolutions You’ll Break by January 3rd

Everyone loves resolutions, mostly because they’re fun to abandon. Blog about the classics: “I’ll go to the gym” (translation: “I’ll buy gym clothes and wear them to brunch”), or “I’ll eat healthier” (translation: “I’ll switch from regular fries to sweet potato fries”).

5. The Holiday Movie Marathon

Review classic holiday films with a twist. For example, point out how Home Alone is really just a documentary about poor home security systems, or how Elf proves that sugar is a valid food group.

6. Year-in-Review (With Sarcasm)

Wrap up the year by poking fun at trends we all fell for. Remember when everyone was obsessed with sourdough starters? Or when we thought “quiet luxury” meant buying beige sweaters that cost more than rent?

December is the perfect month to let your humor shine. People are stressed, broke, and full of gingerbread — they need laughs more than ever. So whether you’re writing about ugly sweaters, failed resolutions, or the art of re-gifting, remember: the best December blogs are like holiday cookies — sweet, a little messy, and best enjoyed with a dash of sarcasm.
