Christmas Marketing Ideas for Surrey BC Businesses: Make This Your Best Holiday Season

Christmas is Friday, December 25, 2026. For Surrey businesses, the holiday season (mid-November through December) is the most important sales period of the year.

At Apna Media, we help Surrey businesses maximize the holiday season with marketing that connects emotionally and drives sales.

The Holiday Season Opportunity

Canadians spend more in December than any other month. But it’s not just about discounts. Christmas marketing is about emotion, tradition, and connection. The businesses that win at Christmas are the ones that make people feel something.

10 Christmas Marketing Ideas for Surrey Businesses

1. The Holiday Story

Tell your business’s holiday story. Share photos of your decorated storefront, your team in holiday spirit, or your favorite holiday traditions. Authentic holiday content outperforms generic posts.

2. Gift Guides

Create gift guides: “Gifts Under $50”, “Gifts for Her/Him”, “Last-Minute Gifts”, “Experience Gifts”. Gift guides are highly shareable and rank well for “Christmas gifts Surrey” searches.

3. Holiday Photo Opportunities

Create an Instagram-worthy holiday display. A beautiful Christmas backdrop encourages customers to take photos and tag your business. Free user-generated content plus foot traffic.

4. The 12 Days of Christmas Campaign

Run a 12-day social media campaign (Dec 13-24). Daily content keeps you top of mind during the busiest shopping days.

5. Holiday Hours and Convenience

Extended holiday hours, clear hours on Google Business Profile, gift wrapping, easy returns. Convenience is a competitive advantage during the hectic holiday season.

6. Thank Your Customers

Handwritten thank you notes, customer appreciation posts, “Thank you Surrey” campaign. Gratitude builds loyalty. Loyal customers come back in January.

7. New Year’s Teaser

Use Christmas to preview what’s coming in 2027. Keep the momentum going into the new year.

8. Video Content

Holiday greetings from your team, product showcases, customer testimonials, “year in review” montage. Video gets more engagement than any other content type.

9. Community Giving

Toy drive, food bank collection, sponsor a local family, donate a portion of sales. Community involvement during the holidays creates lasting goodwill.

10. Last-Minute Shoppers (Dec 20-24)

Target procrastinators with gift cards, extended hours, and “order by Dec 23” messaging. Last-minute shoppers are highly motivated buyers.

Christmas SEO for Surrey Businesses

Target: “Christmas [your product/service] Surrey”, “Holiday shopping Surrey BC 2026”, “Christmas gifts Surrey”, “Open Christmas Eve Surrey”. Update Google Business Profile with holiday hours and photos.
