It may have taken a million years, but January is finally over! By now, you’ve evaluated your 2024 content, set a few goals, and are ready to dive back into content creation without those pesky holiday distractions. Right? Nope, because February 2025 is packed full of holidays and other opportunities to create engaging, timely, and trending content.
In this article, we’re sharing content ideas for February’s hottest topics and special holidays.
Black History Month ✊🏿
February is Black History Month in the US. You’ll be seeing creators on every platform sharing information and educational content about the contributions of Black and African American people in the US. Even if you aren’t Black or a history creator, there are a few different videos you can create.
Highlight Historical Figures ✨
It doesn’t take much to find an inspiring Black historical figure. One quick Google search will bring up hundreds of thousands of incredible stories. Spend some time looking for a few figures that resonate with you. Research them and share their stories on your channel. Make it a series and share a few each week! Or, if you really want to get your audience engaged, look for historical figures in (or related to) your niche and interest.
Share Your Celebrations ✨
Create a video or two sharing how you plan to celebrate and honor Black History Month. Are you donating to any specific funds or charities? Have you developed a reading list to help you discover new authors and stories? You can even ask your audience to share how they’ll the celebrating! Encourage your audience to take part in their own Black History Month celebrations.
Shoutout Black Creators ✨
One of the most popular is to shout out Black creators in your niche – or Black creators whose content you love. Share why you love them and why you think your audience will, too. Not only will this help you connect with other creators, but it amplifies Black creators and their content. It’s also really easy. Unless you aren’t following any Black creators – which is something you should remedy!
Keep your eyes peeled; we’ll have more content you can create for Black History Month a little later this week.
National Pizza Day 🍕
February 8th is National Pizza Day in the US, so grab a pie or two! Tell your followers what your ideal pizza is or try making your own. Any excuse to have a pizza, right?
Valentine’s Day 💘
We’ll do a longer post about Valentine’s Day too, but we couldn’t skip it. There’s a wealth of content you can make about Valentine’s Day, whether you’re chronically single or in a long-term relationship.
Share a Valentine’s Day Story ✨
Post a storytime about your best or worst Valentine’s Day. People love storytimes, and they’ll be especially interested if you lead with a great hook. “Let me tell you about the best Valentine’s Day date I’ve ever had” and “You won’t believe how bad this Valentine’s Day date was” grab the audience’s attention. As long as your storytelling skills are decent, your audience will be invested.
Gift or Date Ideas ✨
Everyone’s casting around for new and/or fun things for Valentine’s Day. Create a video (or two) with your recommendations for Valentine’s Day gifts for activities. We recommend giving it a theme, too; things your girlfriend will actually want for Valentine’s Day, fun and cheap things to do as a date, or what to do on Valentine’s if you’re single.
Valentine’s Vlog ✨
Take us with you while you get ready for…well, whatever you’re getting up to! Throwing a Galentine’s party? Show us how you get set up! About to go on a date? Do a little get ready with me and tell us about how you and your Valentine met!
Love Your Pet Day 🐈
Everyday should be Love Your Pet Day, but February 20th is dedicated to our furry friends. Post a video about your pet; introduce them, share some fun facts about them, and show your community what makes them special. You can even post a few videos of pet advice or recommendations.
Springtime Prep 💐
Spring is right around the corner! It might be a little early to post this content, but it’s never too early to start planning. We just recommend you wait to post this until closer to the end of the month.
Spring Bucket List ✨
Share what you’re most looking forward to this spring. Whether it’s an event you’re excited about or a goal you’re hoping to reach, post a video sharing it with your followers. Or share a spring bucket list for your niche! What are some things people can look forward to or accomplish to really get into the seasonal spirit?
Spring Rituals ✨
Whether you do a big round of spring cleaning or have family traditions, let us know how you kick off spring. It’s a great window into your life, and your followers will love getting to know you outside of your content.
Creating Your February Content Calendar 🗓️
It can be daunting to work content like this into your usual routine. But we aren’t asking you to add things onto your plate: substitute some of your usual content for February specials! If you post four videos a week, swap one out for something seasonal. That way it feels different, but not overwhelming! Need a little help creating a full content calendar? Check out our guide to content strategy, our guide to creating content, and our guide to content schedules. Not to brag, but we’re kind of an expert in this department.
