2023 social media calendar including holiday hashtags














​












Clients are winding down for the Christmas break and I’m just getting started….well kind of! These quieter few weeks over December and January allow me some time to get organised, catch up on admin and feel a little more ready for the year ahead. Not going to lie though, there will be a bunch of days the office light will not go on and you’ll find me on the couch or by the pool instead of behind my computer 🤭


Amongst my planning for the new year, I have just finished assembling my 2023 social media calendar, including a full list of hashtag holidays, kicking off on January 1st! So, if you’re looking for a social media calendar that combines a heap of important (and some fun!!) dates along with their corresponding hashtags, you’ve come to the right place! Also, for those that love a freebie, you can download this list too…for free! and update with any additional dates/days specific to your industry, so you’re feeling ready 2023 also 😉



Some of you may be asking, what even are hashtag holidays….well, from #InternationalDayOfCharity to #BaconDay there is an abundance of observance days (aka hashtag holidays) which fall throughout the year, some national and others international, during which businesses can get involved, share content relevant to their industries, raise awareness or simply, have some fun. These observance days are a fun way to connect with new and existing followers and provide valuable opportunity for your brand to engage with followers and join the conversations taking place among your audience.


The list I have created covers a variety of topics, including:

Public holidays - #MerryChristmas and #AustraliaDay

Annual events - #AusOpen and #ValentinesDay

Industry specific hashtags - #CelebrateNurses and #HappyAgDay

And some close to my heart - #InternationalLeftHandersDay and #WorldChocolateDay 😅


It’s time to get creative, here’s my 2023 social media calendar including holiday hashtags:
