Around this time of the year, regardless of the size of your online business, you’re likely gearing up for one of the biggest holiday sales events — Christmas!
Everyone says a killer Christmas newsletter could boost your quarterly sales without spending a penny more. But how do you craft a killer Xmas newsletter campaign that draws in sales while also giving your customers a chance to soak up the warmth of this blessed season of joy?
The good news is that you don’t need to wrestle with complicated AI writing software or empty your already strained wallets on expensive copywriters to send a few awesome Christmas emails.
Here are some killer Christmas newsletter ideas and examples that we hope inspire your next blockbuster Christmas email campaign.
Christmas Newsletter: 3 Stages of December Emails
While sending a custom-branded Happy Holidays newsletter is a nice thought, it will not be enough to help you enter the new year with the satisfaction of having pulled bulging sales over the holiday season.
It helps to optimize your Christmas email and campaign’s performance by spreading it across three distinct phases:
- Pre-Christmas
- During Christmas
- Post-Christmas
The biggest change across these phases would be your marketing message and how it gently guides the prospect toward becoming a paying customer.
Pre-Christmas
Over 68% of consumers start their Christmas winter shopping before or at the beginning of December.
Assumingly that is even partly true, its easy to see that a huge chunk of sales can be made by simply asking the prospects before someone else does.
Use these types of emails to:
- Generate desire;
- Build anticipation;
- Raise brand awareness;
- Bring in some pre-sales;
Types of Christmas newsletters you are likely to send in this phase:
- Early bird discount emails;
- Special offers to previous/ loyal customers;
- Wishlist emails, gift guide emails;
- Advance sale announcement emails, coming soon teaser emails.
The idea is to be creative, if not funny, and to create enough desire to motivate action through unbeatable offers and easy-to-understand messaging.
During Christmas
No matter which niche you are operating out of, or the type of specific prospect you are trying to sell to, Christmas days are family times, and as such, are likely to be very busy for them.
Best kept short and offer-focused, these emails are best-written weaving below persuasive elements:
- Scarcity;
- Urgency;
- Exclusive deals for e.g. FREE shipping upgrade;
Wondering what type of a Chrismas newsletter would fit in on the d-day? Here are some December ideas for email topics.
- Christmas wishes emails;
- Thank you post-purchase emails to buying customers;
- Exclusive special offer emails;
- Deadline reminder emails; “It’s not too late” emails (with special shipping upgrades);
- Abandoned cart sequences;
- Other promotional emails include upsells, downsells, and cross-sells.
During holidays like Christmas, you should consider using an easy-to-use email and SMS automation tool to help you save time in tough and busy holiday times. See how easily you can craft your emails with Sender:
Fun fact: Americans are estimated to be spending nearly $6.6 billion on Christmas trees alone in 2022. Despite tough economic times, Christmas cheer seems to be alive and kicking!
Post-Christmas Emails
It is a given that many of your prospects missed your once-in-a-lifetime offer simply because they were building snowmen with their children instead of glancing at their inboxes.
An end of year post Christmas newsletter helps you target both those who missed the Christmas boat and those who are waiting to finish their shopping during New Years.
You will be sending the following types of emails to your prospects and customers:
- “Did you miss this offer” emails;
- Discount emails;
- Thank you post-purchase emails to customers;
- Upsell, downsell, and special upgrade emails to existing customers;
- New year offer emails; Year-end special deal emails;
- Abandoned cart emails.
Remember the adage, “if you never ask, the answer’s always no!”?
While this phase is not likely to be as high-performing as the others, it will still keep your brand top-of-mind and add extra revenue.

The one question then on every business owner’s mind is how to start a Christmas newsletter. But don’t worry; we won’t let you succumb to the writer’s (or, in this case, the creatives’) block!
Here are some creative ideas to ensure you always have enough topics to create the perfect December newsletter that crushes sales.
1. Announce Upcoming Christmas Deals
One of the best ways to combine emails with any business activity is to use them to announce deals. Since most businesses will have some special discounts or offers for the Christmas to New Year period, newsletters can be used to announce them.
Additionally, many customers and clients will be looking for deals, especially in the retail and ecommerce sectors. Buying presents is, after all, a major part of the holidays.

We are positive that with an email this good, some non-coffee drinkers definitely considered changing tracks.
3. Offer Last-Minute Christmas Deals
Holidays are often about treating yourself to something you’d normally not allow during any other part of the year. As such, it’s the perfect opportunity to send some last-minute deals to people who might still be looking for something special.

4. Thank Your Customers
While it doesn’t directly deliver something of value, some companies frequently send their thanks during holidays. There are some benefits to it.
First, some communication and content is still being sent to your valued customers, making them feel a little more like family. You’re, at the very least, staying on their mind.
Second, it doesn’t cost you anything outside of some time. You can even use Christmas email templates to make the process faster if you don’t want to get creative.

5. Give Away Timed Christmas Coupons
Nothing inspires a company’s customers more than getting some free coupons for discounts. Luckily, coupons and discounts can work for any business and any industry.
All you need to do is add some discount code to your newsletter and have it delivered. It’s most appropriate, however, to deliver them sometime earlier during the advent period rather than close to Xmas. Most people will have finished their shopping spree by then.

In addition, we know a preview text this size won’t display, no matter what size the screen is, but since we love the email so much, we’ll allow it.
7. Happy Holiday Greetings Newsletter
Getting great sales is nice, but it’s more important to remember that it’s ultimately about the joyous Christmas season for your reader. Don’t forget to send them a happy holidays newsletter and make the occasion memorable.
