The holiday season is the most lucrative time of year for creators, but it’s also the most chaotic. Between launching limited-time offers, sending sales emails, and managing customer support, it’s easy to burn out before New Year’s Eve. That’s where the ConvertKit Holiday Creator Series comes in: a free, annual virtual event designed to take the guesswork out of your end-of-year marketing.
Whether you’re launching your first holiday digital product or scaling a six-figure creator business, this series gives you the tools, templates, and community support to hit your Q4 goals without the stress. Below, we break down everything you need to know about the 2024 ConvertKit Holiday Creator Series, from registration steps to tips to maximize your results.
What Is the ConvertKit Holiday Creator Series?
The ConvertKit Holiday Creator Series is a multi-day virtual event hosted by the ConvertKit team, tailored specifically for creators of all experience levels. It combines live workshops, exclusive resource drops, community challenges, and Q&A sessions with top ConvertKit experts and successful creator alumni.
Unlike generic holiday marketing webinars, every session is built around ConvertKit’s email marketing tools, so you can implement learnings immediately in your existing account. Past series have helped over 10,000 creators grow their email lists by an average of 400 subscribers and boost holiday sales by 2x, per ConvertKit’s internal data.
According to HubSpot’s 2024 Holiday Marketing Trends Report, holiday email campaigns convert 3x higher than social media posts, making the series’ email-focused workshops especially valuable for creators looking to drive revenue.
Who Should Join the Holiday Creator Series?
This event is designed for all types of creators, but it’s especially useful for:
- New creators launching their first holiday product (ebook, course, template, or physical good)
- Established creators looking to scale end-of-year revenue without increasing ad spend
- Service providers (coaches, consultants, freelancers) selling holiday packages or discounted retainers
- Digital product sellers looking to build evergreen holiday sales funnels
- Anyone using (or planning to use) ConvertKit for their email marketing stack

Live Expert Workshops
Sessions cover high-impact topics like crafting high-converting holiday subject lines, building limited-time offers that don’t devalue your brand, list growth hacks for Q4, and year-end tax prep for US-based creators. Every workshop includes a live Q&A, so you can get answers to your specific business questions.

Early Access to New Features
ConvertKit often uses the Holiday Creator Series to launch or give early access to new tools, like updated holiday-specific email blocks, automated end-of-year "thank you" workflows, or improved list segmentation features.
