DIY Content Goes Long For Holiday Season

While short-form content has exploded over the past few years, longer content still has its benefits. According to a new report from Tubular Labs and Chartbeat, 0-30 second videos made up the largest share of holiday DIY & decorating videos in 2022, but it's 61-120 second videos that have seen views surge over 1,500% YoY.

Some additional insights around DIY videos for the holiday season: 

  • Viewership for the Holiday DIY & Decorating category on YouTube has already skyrocketed by 75% YoY.
  • Posting early pays off – Last year, the top two DIY & Decor videos on TikTok were both posted in early November. However, 2023’s most popular video so far was posted in July — racking up over 85% of the views of last year’s second most watched video.
  • While posting Christmas decor content in July might seem a bit out of place, the high volume of viewership shows that TikTok audiences enjoy getting holiday inspiration early.
