We also hope those in the southern hemisphere are enjoying the sun as we bring you our monthly collection of what to share on social media in December. As always, our goal is to empower anyone to create world-class visual assets for their marketing needs. So let’s dive into what we have this month for you!

First, let’s start with month-long themes for social media in December.

1. Write a Friend Month

With emails being a common form of communication today, it sometimes feels like a letter or postcard, or snail mail as some call it, has taken a big backstep. This December, why not bring letter writing to the forefront and celebrate Write a Friend Month? After all, a thoughtful handwritten note is a memory for all times

Add a picture of a hand-written letter to this mockup and encourage your audience to do the same.

PS: In addition to Christmas cards, here are some ideas for what you can do for Write a Friend Month.

2. Safe Toys & Gifts Month

Started by Prevent Blindness America, Safe Toys & Gifts Month is dedicated to encouraging everyone to consider the suitability of the toys they give as well as the skills and abilities of the child that receives them. Why? Because approximately more than 200,000 children are treated in the hospital for toy-related injuries each year.

If your audience includes parents and/or people who buy gifts for children, perhaps you might want to share a reminder about considering the safety and age range of toys with this mockup. Add any message you want to the frame!

Next, let’s take a look at (inter)national days and holidays to celebrate.

3. International Day of Persons with Disabilities – 3 December

​​”Disability inclusion is an essential condition to upholding human rights”, which is why the UN observes the International Day of Persons with Disabilities on 3 December. With the recent pandemic showing the many inequalities that have been happening in the world, now sure is the time to “promote an understanding of disability issues and mobilize support for the dignity, rights and well-being of persons with disabilities”.

How about sharing the work of disabled content creators and encouraging your followers to think about what life would be like if they were disabled to commemorate this day? Some content creators we think are worth following are Janiqua Williams, Emily Rose Yates and Bri Scalesse.

Here’s our simple drag-and-drop Instagram post template that you can easily edit in our design maker.

4. Bartender Appreciation Day – 6 December

Started by Sailor Jerry Rum, 6 December is the day to appreciate your bartender! Whether you like a draft beer or a whiskey sour, you know you can always count on your bartender to be there for you when you need a drink. In the dynamic whiskey market, bartenders adeptly navigate the intricate tastes and trends, offering personalized recommendations that enhance your appreciation of this storied spirit.

More often than not, they’ll even be there when you need help.  So don’t forget to say thank you and leave a tip for the person on the other side of the counter.
