Winter is coming, which means changing up your Instagram strategy just a bit with winter hashtags! From the holidays to cozying up in the sweater weather, I’m sharing some of the best winter-inspired hashtags to use.
But before you slap some hashtags onto your post, remember that it only makes sense to use these if your image and caption are relevant! If you’re posting something that has nothing to do with winter, it doesn’t make sense to use hashtags that do. It’s all about leaning into seasonal content where you can – but only when it makes sense.
Another quick tip: try to avoid overly generic hashtags like #winter or #holidays. These are used so often that your post will likely just get buried in the hashtag feed (and we don’t want that!). Instead, choose more specific hashtags that aren’t as widely-used.
To help with that, I’ve put together a list of winter hashtags, organized by popularity. So let’s get to the list!
