The holiday season is coming up fast, bringing with it one of the busiest times of year for Airbnb rentals. People are eager to travel, connect with family, and find a comfy, festive spot to celebrate. This is a fantastic opportunity for Airbnb hosts like you to attract more bookings and make the most out of the season. Let’s go through some simple, effective steps to get your place holiday-ready and make it an enjoyable experience for your guests.
During high-demand times like Christmas and New Year’s, hotels raise their rates to match the holiday rush. As an Airbnb host, consider adjusting your prices to take advantage of this holiday booking surge. With limited accommodations available, this shortage can work in your favor, allowing you to set premium rates and maximize your earnings.
However, it’s essential to remain competitive. Research similar listings in your area to set rates that are attractive yet profitable. Smarthost's marketing team recommends you update your listing so guests are aware of any seasonal pricing, helping them feel informed and reassured.

Your listing is your chance to showcase what makes your property the ideal holiday getaway. Are you near a sparkling Christmas market? Or maybe your place has a perfect New Year’s fireworks view. Let potential guests know! You could be their top pick simply because your property promises an unforgettable holiday experience.
Holiday headlines ideas:
A unique, holiday-themed headline and description can attract travelers searching for a specific type of holiday experience, helping your listing appear more relevant and appealing.
Adding holiday touches that suit your property’s vibe and attract your ideal guests can make their stay even more memorable. For example, if you’re hosting families, consider adding a Christmas tree that guests can decorate themselves, or provide a few ornaments for children. If your space is designed with minimalist decor, you can keep it simple with tasteful holiday touches like a wreath on the door or fairy lights.
These simple additions can make your property feel more welcoming, while also showing guests that you’re trying to make their stay extra special.
Make it easy for guests to enjoy the best your area has to offer during the holidays by highlighting local activities and attractions. If there are holiday markets, seasonal events, or must-try winter treats in your area, add these suggestions to your listing or welcome guide.
Consider including:
Providing these details can save guests time on planning and add extra value to their stay. It’s a simple way to help them make holiday memories to cherish.
