ChatGPT counts 42 marketable holidays a year — not just Christmas, Valentine’s and New Year. Romance-first, with adaptations for mystery, thriller, cozy mystery and horror. Built-in seasonal demand, audiences already warm before you start.

What We’ll Cover

The live session breakdown

42 Marketable Holidays a Year▾

Christmas has never been cancelled. Neither has Valentine’s. Or 40 others. Coral mapped the 42 marketable holidays across the year and which ones drive sales for which genres — romance leads, mystery/thriller/cozy/horror adapt.

Romance-First, Adapt for Other Genres▾

Romance is the natural fit — nostalgia, emotion, gift culture all work with us. Mystery, thriller, cozy mystery and horror have their own holiday slots (Halloween, anyone?). Examples and series setups for each in the workshop drive.

Holiday Lead Magnets, Shorts & Anthologies▾

Holiday short stories and anthologies are the best lead-magnet category in publishing. Reader psychology is already primed for escapism — you just need a book that fits the moment.

Preparation & Planning Timeline▾

When to write, when to publish, and when to push. Reader mindset is in the holiday weeks before the holiday itself — the stores are decorated, the music’s playing, the marketing is already done for you. Time your release into the wave.

Frequently Asked

Before you book, the quick stuff…

When should I take this class?▾

Ideally before the holiday season begins, so you have time to prepare. But the strategies apply to any peak sales period throughout the year.

Are there recordings?▾

No. This is a live, attend-once experience. The value is in showing up, doing the work in real time, and getting live feedback from Coral and the group.

From the Live Workshop

In Coral’s Own Words

“Holidays are easy to sell. They are built-in seasonal demand, and the audience is already warm. Every time they go to the shops, there’s already Christmas decorations, already Christmas music playing. You don’t have to create the vibe — it’s built in.”
— Coral Hart, live teaching

“Holiday lead magnets are a brilliant place to catch new readers and bring them to your newsletter. If your lead magnet isn’t done, smash out a Halloween or a Thanksgiving one.”
— Coral Hart, live teaching
