Christmas is coming, meaning that as a content creator, you must prepare one or more videos on a holiday theme. Below, we will share our Christmas YouTube video ideas. You can discover even more Christmas video ideas for creating faceless content and gain valuable insights on launching your channel with LoFi music. 

Idea #1: Christmas Traditions from Different Countries

Let's start our list of the best Christmas YouTube video ideas with one where you can create a series of videos to give an overview of how Christmas is celebrated in different parts of the world. For example, in Japan, many people traditionally order chicken from KFC; in Iceland, children prepare to arrive at the 13 «Yule Lads» (we are talking about Christmas trolls); in Venezuela, people go to morning mass on roller skates.

Idea #2: Experiment: X Days Without Technology

To bring this idea to life, you will have to give up the Internet, social media, and smartphone for a certain period (usually the Advent period, equal to 25 days before Christmas). During this period, you can film daily video updates in which you talk about how this affects your life and how you now sublimate your energy—perhaps it is reading books, preparing home-cooked food, sports, or something else.

Idea #3: Making DIY Christmas Decor from Scrap Materials

Prepare a detailed tutorial on how to make Christmas decorations from old things. For example, you can make a garland from newspapers, Christmas tree decorations from bottle caps/cans from sodas, or wreaths from old CDs. The video can be made in the «Zero Waste Christmas» style and somehow emphasize that this is an eco-friendly initiative.

Idea #4: Christmas Dishes from Sci-Fi Movies

This idea lies in cooking dishes described in science fiction films. For example, it could be «butterbeer» from «Harry Potter» (there is even a cookbook from this film series), pies from the «Star Wars» universe, or something else. You can supplement your videos with relevant clips from films and accompany your cooking process with comments.

Idea #5: Covers of Christmas Songs

As a music artist, you can record covers of famous Christmas songs in unexpected musical genres. For example, you can cover «Jingle Bells» in a metal rock style or «Silent Night» in a jazz version. Also, consider designing your Christmas YouTube video in the style of a concert performance or a full-fledged music clip.

Idea #6: Unboxing the Weirdest Items from AliExpress

Are you looking for funny Christmas video ideas? Then, you can order unusual and weird Christmas items to overview them in advance: decorations, clothing, toys, or household items. In your video, you will have to unbox them, telling how high-quality they are and whether they perform their functions. You can also add humorous inserts to increase your audience's engagement.

Idea #7: Christmas Horror Stories

Present some scary urban or folk legends about Christmas to your audience. For example, you can share your variations on the stories of Krampus, a demonic character from European folklore who punishes naughty children. To enhance the effect, you can add a horror atmosphere to the video by darkening the lighting and making scary decor.

Idea #8: A Selection of Christmas Films

Prepare a video review where you compare the original versions of Christmas movies with their remakes. For example, it could be the well-known Home Alone and some lesser-known remake (or later versions, starting with the 3rd). In your video, you can explain which elements remained faithful to the original and what changed.

Idea #9: Christmas Charity

Charity projects are one of the central themes of Christmas and, in general, can be considered one of the best Christmas vlogmas ideas. Specifically, you can create content showing how easy it is to help those in need. For example, you can organize a charity purchase of toys for children, food for shelters, or warm clothes for people without homes, showing everything from the collection of funds to the reactions of those who received the gifts.

Idea #10: Mini Christmas Market Tour

Another great Christmas video idea is to create a series where you visit Christmas markets (local, in your country, or even in other countries). This way, you can share reviews of unusual products with your viewers and publish interviews with the most interesting tradespeople.

Idea #11: Christmas Collaboration

Team up with other bloggers to create joint Christmas content. The scenario for such an event can be related to anything – from culinary battles to thematic interviews. You can also organize a Christmas dinner, where each blogger cooks their signature holiday dish; the rest will taste and evaluate it. Such Christmas vlog ideas can quickly bring you new followers due to «audience mixing» with other bloggers. 

Idea #12: Secret Santa for Your Subscribers

Organize a Secret Santa game for your subscribers. To do this, they will have to register in advance via a form (it can be easily created in Google Forms), where you will assign pairs and exchange gifts. Also, do not forget to set deadlines for sending gifts and film unpacking these gifts from your subscribers (in particular, they can send you their videos in advance).

Idea #13: Cooking a Christmas Dinner on a Minimal Budget

Alternatively, you can organize culinary Christmas challenges, where the task is to cook a delicious Christmas Eve dinner on a limited budget, for example, for $10. Here, you can demonstrate the process of grocery shopping, explain how to choose quality ingredients at an affordable price, film the cooking process itself, including life hacks for saving, and, of course, present a tasting with the participation of your family or friends.

Idea #14: Christmas Lifehacks Collection for Parents

Share practical tips on how to make holiday preparations easier for busy parents. For example, you can explain how to wrap gifts using ready-made boxes or bags, offer ideas for quick home decorations with minimal effort, tell how to keep children busy during the holidays with Christmas crafts or cooking master classes, and so on.

Idea #15: Making a DIY Christmas Photo Zone

Finally, as one of the most worthwhile holiday season content ideas, you can demonstrate how to create a holiday photo zone at home with your own hands – this will surely appeal to those who want to take a series of family photos or regularly create content for social networks in general. Here, you can use improvised materials like garlands and artificial snow and tell how to make a mobile photo zone.

We hope that now you have enough holiday vlog inspiration for your content and that our creative Christmas videos have been effective for you!
