The holiday season is upon us, and for many brands it's a crucial time of year for connecting with customers and driving sales. 

For your content to stand out from the crowd this Thanksgiving and beyond, it's important to use appropriate and seasonally relevant language — including hashtags. 

We recommend using seasonal hashtags (one to two hashtags per Tweet is the sweet spot) two to three weeks before the holiday period to build anticipation and share in your follower's excitement. 

With that in mind, here are five popular Thanksgiving hashtags for you to include in your Tweets this year:

#Thanksgiving/#Thanksgiving 2022

Use the hashtag #Thanksgiving to share gratitude and create a feeling of anticipation around the holiday season. 

Pair it with anything that's seasonally relevant, whether it's announcing products perfect for a Thanksgiving feast, discounts, giving thanks for your customer’s and client’s loyalty, or a simple countdown to join in on the excitement.

#HappyThanksgiving

A simple #HappyThanksgiving hashtag is a great way to send well wishes to your Twitter followers. To boost engagement, add the hashtag to seasonal photos or videos. 

For example, a photo of relevant products, store opening hours, happy customers or employees, or how-to videos sharing Thanksgiving tips and tricks.

#FriendsGiving

Thanksgiving is about spending time with loved ones – both our family, and the family we choose – our friends. #Friendsgiving has grown in popularity over the years, with over 280,000 related Tweets in 2021 in the US.1

Share with customers how your product or service can be used for #Friendsgiving, or highlight any activities your employees are taking part in to celebrate the unofficial holiday together.
