OCTOBER AT A GLANCE
Pinterest in October: what to know
October is Halloween month, and it's also when the holiday season starts on Pinterest. Christmas pins should go up in early October: cookies, dinners, decor and gift ideas.
Thanksgiving is about four weeks after Halloween, so keep pinning sides, pies and make-ahead plans all month. Shops should be pinning gift guides and deals. If you only have time for one thing, make fresh pins for last year's best holiday posts. Fall comfort food is still strong too: soups, chili, casseroles and baking.
