Three steps to pins that show up on time
- Step 1
Find your month
Open the month you're in. You'll see what's peaking and what to start pinning now.
- Step 2
Use the search words
Each moment lists the words people type into Pinterest. Put them in your pin titles and descriptions.
- Step 3
Pin weeks early
Start 6 to 12 weeks before the big day, so your pins are there when people start saving.
Turn it into three pins in seconds.
Paste the link into our free Pinterest title and description generator. Or let Pinsevo make pins from every post on your blog and post them on time, every day.
How early should I pin seasonal content on Pinterest?
About 6 to 12 weeks before the day. People save holiday ideas early, so pins that go up early have time to be found before the rush.
When should I start pinning Christmas content?
In early October. Christmas is one of the biggest seasons on Pinterest, and people start saving cookie, gift and decor ideas in the fall.
When should I start pinning Thanksgiving recipes?
In mid September. Thanksgiving side dishes, pies and make-ahead plans get saved for weeks before the holiday.
When should I start pinning Halloween and Easter content?
Halloween pins should start in late August. Easter moves every year, so start about eight weeks before. For Easter on Sun, Mar 28, 2027, that's late January.
Can I pin last year's seasonal posts again?
Yes. Make fresh pins for them with new pictures and new titles. Pinterest likes fresh pins, and your old post can bring in new visitors every year.
Is this calendar free?
Yes. No account needed. It's built for food, home and DIY bloggers and small shops.
