19 Holiday Hashtags

The holiday season is a time to spread good cheer, and one of the best places for brands to show their spirit is on social networks.

In fact, many brands have been leveraging hashtags to amplify their posts and gain extra visibility around the Web. This is a smart marketing move, as a recent Piqora study reveals that brands on Instagram that use three hashtags increase their likes by 110 percent, while five hashtags boost likes by 180 percent. Although common hashtags like #Christmas and #NewYear are seen quite frequently during the holiday season, many brands have incorporated other fun hashtags into their social marketing strategy, including branded hashtags that have a holiday spin.

To get some hashtag inspiration for your own holiday marketing initiatives, take a look at 19 holiday hashtags that can be found floating around the social Web below:
