10 Holiday SMS Marketing Ideas to Use in 2025

The holiday season is more than a sales opportunity—it’s a chance to build real customer connection. With people checking their phones constantly and inboxes overflowing, SMS remains one of the most direct, personal, and high-converting ways to stay in touch.

Whether you’re spreading joy, driving end-of-year sales, or just staying top of mind, RevText gives you the tools to do it right—with automation, personalization, and real strategy support.

Here are 10 creative and practical SMS ideas to make your 2025 holiday marketing shine.

1. Share Exclusive Holiday Discounts

Holiday deals are expected. But what if they felt personal and timely? With RevText, you can schedule flash sales, deliver promo codes to loyal buyers, and even create “Secret Santa” surprises.

Examples:

  • “🎄 Just for you: 24-hour flash sale. Take [XX]% off with code [CODE] – ends tonight! [LINK]”
  • “🎁 [FIRST NAME], your holiday thank-you: [XX]% off your next purchase. Valid until [DATE].”
  • “🎅 Your Secret Santa left you a surprise. Use code [CODE] to unwrap it.”

2. Send Personalized Holiday Wishes

Go beyond promotions. Use SMS to send sincere seasonal greetings that remind your audience there’s a human behind the message.

Examples:

  • “Happy Holidays from all of us at [BRAND]! Wishing you joy, peace, and warm moments.”
  • “Chag Sameach, [FIRST NAME]! Wishing you a joyful Hanukkah.”
  • “Heri za Kwanzaa! May your season be full of meaning and community.”

3. Promote Last-Minute Holiday Offers

SMS is ideal for urgency. Use it to highlight last-call deals, final shipping deadlines, and quick-turnaround offers.

Examples:

  • “🎁 Only 2 days left to order for guaranteed delivery by [DATE]! Don’t wait: [LINK]”
  • “⏰ [HOLIDAY] is almost here—shop now to save up to [XX]% before it’s too late: [LINK]”

4. Reward Loyalty with Holiday Bonuses

Let your loyal subscribers know you see them. Use RevText to launch holiday-specific perks or enhance your current loyalty program.

Examples:

  • “[FIRST NAME], you’re on our Nice List. Double points through [DATE] just for you. [LINK]”
  • “Holiday Bonus: SMS subscribers get early access and exclusive rewards. Tap in: [LINK]”

5. Offer Gift Guides That Save Time

Holiday gift stress is real. Make shopping easier with curated lists sent directly to your customers’ phones.

Examples:

  • “🎁 Not sure what to gift? Our 2025 Holiday Gift Guide makes it easy. Explore ideas for every budget: [LINK]”
  • “[FIRST NAME], here are gift picks based on what you loved last year: [LINK]”

6. Launch Interactive Holiday Text Campaigns

Two-way texting creates conversation—not just promotion. Use holiday polls, contests, and even MMS to increase engagement.

Examples:

  • “🎄Help us pick our holiday packaging! Reply A or B to vote: A) Gold sparkle B) Classic red.”
  • “📸 Enter to win $100! Show us how you’re celebrating with [BRAND] this season. Reply with a pic.”

7. Share Holiday Tips, Recipes, and Resolutions

Texting doesn’t have to sell—it can simply support. Position your brand as helpful with seasonal advice tied to your product or service.

Examples:

  • “Need a holiday recipe to wow your guests? Here’s our team favorite: [LINK]”
  • “🎆 Ready for a fresh start? Our New Year’s checklist can help. Reply YES to get it.”

8. Say Thank You (and Mean It)

End-of-year messages don’t need to include a sale. A heartfelt thank-you goes a long way in showing customers they’re more than a number.

Examples:

  • “Thanks for being part of our story this year, [FIRST NAME]. Here’s to more moments together in 2026. – [BRAND]”
  • “With your support, we [BRAND HIGHLIGHT]. You made that possible. Happy Holidays from our team to yours.”

9. Offer Sneak Peeks and Early Bird Specials

Build momentum for the new year by offering subscribers a preview of upcoming collections or early access to holiday drops.

Examples:

  • “🎉 2026 is coming—and we’re starting early. Be first to see our new line: [LINK]”
  • “Early birds get the best deals. Save [XX]% today only. Use code [CODE]: [LINK]”

10. Make Giving Easy

If you’re supporting a cause this season, SMS is a great way to invite customers to be part of something bigger.

Examples:

  • “This season, we’re giving back. For every order with code GIVE25, we’ll donate [X]% to [CHARITY]. Join us: [LINK]”
  • “Spread joy: choose to round up your purchase to support [CAUSE]. Every bit counts.”
