Figuring out what customers want isn't the tricky part. Christmas customers want decorated Christmas trees, Santa Claus, holiday cheer, and a winter wonderland. But finding ways to make your Christmas gifts stand out in a holiday season when every business competes for every piece of Christmas shopping and every meal out.

So what do companies use to make their Christmas deals stand out? Slogans!

What makes good Christmas marketing slogans?

When it comes to marketing, it doesn't get bigger than Christmas. As a result, the holiday season is chockful of familiar traditional and seasonal taglines. This means retailers and restaurants have many options when finding a slogan to settle on.

Most of the ideas your team comes up with will have been used before, so there's no need to worry if you don't feel your slogan will be completely original. Christmas is the time of year tradition takes over.

A good Christmas slogan will match the product it sells. A good slogan will help to evoke the strongest aspect of the Christmas experience that your offer provides. This might mean a simple "Make yours a merry Christmas!" or it could be a more wintry "Let it snow!".

Your slogan needs to capitalize on your customer's feelings when considering your product, creating a robust seasonal emotion that draws them into the sale.

There are different ways of doing this, so let's try some examples to help you realize which Christmas slogan best suits this year's offer.

Traditional Christmas slogans

Traditional Christmas slogans tend to be those you expect to see every year. But consumers often relish the familiarity, reliability, and simple joy they provide:

Merry Christmas, love Santa Claus

'Tis the season to be jolly; deck the halls with our Christmas deal

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Find the Christmas spirit with our prices on spirits

You'll hear the bells ringing when you find out about our knockdown prices

Holy Christmas! It's our December sale!

Typical features in traditional slogans

If you're aiming for a traditional angle on your Christmas marketing, some handy features to include might involve phrases and things found in carols or the nativity, such as angels; stars; holly; shepherds and sheep. There's no shortage of traditional Christmas symbols that many will remember from childhood. Christmas lights, robins, candles, mistletoe, candy canes, and bells. A red and green colour theme tends to be common throughout December.

Target emotions of traditional slogans

Traditional seasonal marketing tends to focus on the family, community, and lighting up the darkest time of the year with light and warmth. Your marketing should therefore focus on showing how your products could bring joy to family and friends.

Christmas slogans for evenings by the fire

Plenty of shoppers will think Christmas is the season of warm wishes and gentle evenings of treats and television. For those customers, finding the right slogan to pin beside your biscuit tins or mulled wine might win you their extra purchases:

Typical items used to create cosy Christmas slogans

There's no better way to warm someone's inside than a cosy Christmas slogan. For lots of people, Christmas is a time of sitting by the fire. To market to these consumers, focus on warm images of log fires, bows and wreaths, candles, woolly Christmas jumpers, mulled wine, sugary biscuits, and tinsel-covered Christmas trees.

Target emotions of cosy Christmas slogans

Naturally, to market a cosy Christmas, your adverts will need to feel safe, warm, and indulgent.

 As for most of these Christmas themes, the imagery and design of your marketing materials will be key, but creating a sense of cosiness requires softer tones over the bold colours used in other places.

Wintry Christmas slogans

A white Christmas of snowy streets and the glow of streetlights on wet pavements can be a favourite theme among Christmas shoppers. might work especially well among hospitality companies, whose restaurants and hotels never look more inviting than when it's snowy outside:

Come shopping in our winter wonderland!

Don't dream of a white Christmas: make it your own

Snow time like the present to buy yourself a present

It's hard to flake on our once-a-year Christmas deals

Every snowflake is unique, like our Chrismas gifts: just for you

Mother Nature's gift this winter is our organic Christmas ___

It's that time of year to wrap up warm with our __

Typical symbols in winter slogans

Winter themes work well for companies as they don't require the same frantic removal as many other Christmas decorations. They can sit throughout the following month until Valentine's Day takes over. Symbols of winter include woolly hats and gloves, smoking chimneys, snow, snowflakes, icicles, holly, nuts and berries, robins, pine, igloos, polar bears, penguins, evergreen trees and many other natural features.

Target emotions of winter slogans

Winter can be difficult to evoke, as emotions associated with the season often conflict with the usual Christmas feelings. Winter evokes introspection and quiet solitude. Nevertheless, a crisp winter morning can inspire positivity, especially when combined with other Christmas themes, which makes incorporating a touch of wintriness into your Christmas marketing very valuable.

There are multiple ways to invoke a wholesome sense of family during the holiday season: sharing boxes, ribbon-decorated family packs, children's toys, and matching mum and dad items. It can also be done through the simpler sides of Christmas: the tree, the star, the tinsel, and glittering present boxes.

Target emotions of family-oriented Christmas marketing

Christmas and family go together like ducks and water. Your marketing towards families at Christmas doesn't need to be too complicated and should hope to create a sense of simple warmth and love with a healthy dose of Santa, childish wonder, and reminders of the magic of Christmas.

Santa slogans to market Christmas presents

When it comes to the Christmas season, Santa Claus is a firm favourite for slogans, especially for retailers. Children love him, and as the premier gift-giver, what retailer wouldn't want to be associated with him when the Christmas shoppers head out the door:
