A little gift from me to you! I’ve done the hard work, so it’s easier for you to tap in the right Christmas hashtags for Instagram posts.
From general Christmas hashtags to specific ones for Christmas decor, Christmas celebrations and Christmas gifts, there’s something in this list for almost every Holiday Season-related topic.
I regularly update them, so these are the most recent Christmas hashtags for 2023.
Like my list of Fall hashtags, Winter hashtags and Nature hashtags, I’ve split these Holiday hashtags up according to a category for easy reference.
In this post, I also share some tips on how to take amazing photos with your phone camera, so that they’re Instagram-perfect.

The one thing that I really dislike about trying to find the right Christmas hashtags in the Instagram app, is that they don’t show the many related options that don’t use the root keyword. They only show this in the results feed.
So it’s a guessing game each and every time.
Chances are you know this issue very well and have done the smart thing by Googling or checking out Pinterest. And you found this post.
With these little things in mind, I’ve carefully gone through each hashtag and provided you with the best list to use.
These are general Christmas hashtags and Holiday hashtags. They are in no particular order, so one hashtag isn’t more popular than another.
You’ll be able to see how many times it’s been used when you start typing in the name of the hashtag.

In addition to Christmas, let’s not forget New Year’s Eve hashtags!
Here’s a selection – just one thing to remember: don’t use #NewYearsDay as it’s been banned by Instagram. You risk your account if you use it.

Christmas Is Highly Visual
Christmas is one of the most colourful, visually exciting periods and anybody who uses Instagram LOVES taking photos of everything related to the season.
From the Christmas tree to baking cookies, to twinkly Christmas lights outside. I love this season just for that reason! It’s full of beautiful options for photography.
Out comes the phone, photos are snapped and then the update to Instagram.
Hashtags play an important role in showcasing your story and your moment to the world. So getting them right is always a key consideration.
Tips For Taking Christmas Photos With Your Phone
Chances are your phone is your main camera for photography during the Holiday season. To snap the best Christmas photos with your phone camera, consider the following tips:
- Turn the lights off to capture your list tree.
- Get up close for close-ups of ornament details.
- Change and create perspective: look up the tree, do Xmas decoration flat lays (taking a photo straight down from the top) and take detailed shots of gifts from the side.
- When dealing with twinkly lights, play around with the focus so that you can create a bokeh effect.
- If your phone camera has a Portrait mode as iPhones do, try playing around with it to create a blurry, bokeh effect, especially with lights in the background.
- Skip the flash – use natural light in the daylight and darkness at night to create an effect.
PRO TIP: Read up on photography tips for the Christmas season and practice before you take your best shots.
