How to schedule December in one afternoon
- Block dates first. Mark offer end dates, delivery cut-offs and team holidays.
- Create in batches. Make all greeting graphics in one sitting, then all offer posts.
- Write captions once, adapt per platform. LinkedIn gets the recap; Instagram gets the reel; X and Threads get short takes.
- Schedule by 15 December. Most teams slow down after that.
- Set up comment-to-DM on your gift guide post so leads come in during the holidays.
From the founder: the screenshot above is Foxli's real calendar for December 2026 with Holidays switched on. Seeing Christmas Eve, Christmas and New Year's Eve on the grid makes the empty days obvious, so you can fill them before the holidays. Pushpendra Singh Rathor, founder of Foxli
With Foxli, you can plan December on one calendar and publish to Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Threads, YouTube and Pinterest. For the festive season before this, see our Diwali social media post ideas.
