1. Plan Ahead

You may use Tube Buddy or other free YouTube SEO tools online to look for the most trending topics of this year's Christmas. It's better to map out the entire 25-31 days' Vlogmas contents in mid-Nove. Handpick the filming scene and write your script, and prepare the gears needed.

You can make a 3-min video explaining your Vlogmas plans and post it on YouTube. This will help you create the buzz for your upcoming Vlogmas. You can even run a Vlogmas giveaway to gather viewers' most-wanted Vlogmas content for this year's Christmas.

3. Your Vlogmas Content Shall be Consistent with Your Channel

The last thing you want is to create unrelated Vlogmas content on your YouTube channel.

For example, if you are running a photography YouTube channel, you may choose topics like "How I Shoot My Family for the Christmas Morning Routine", or "Top 6 Best Places to Shoot Christmas lights in Your City", or "How to Master the Color-grading for Your Christmas Photos" as the content of your Vlogmas.

Meanwhile, try to add personal flair to your Vlogmas and make your Vlogmas as helpful and fun as possible.

4. Keep Tracking Your YouTube Analytics

Pay close attention to the watch time, engagement, and new subscribers and spare time to reply to the comments and give likes. Be ready to make adjustments when needed.

5. Don’t Get Stressed-out too Quickly
