Peppermint & Palm Trees: Sharing Florida Holiday Magic

November 10, 20253 min read

Why your Florida-based business needs a fresh take on holiday outreach

When you think of the holidays, what comes to +mind? Snowflakes, fir trees, crackling fireplaces?

If you're in Florida, it's more likely sunshine, sand, and palm trees strung with lights. And that’s exactly why your holiday marketing can have a special kind of charm. Whether your business is located in the Sunshine State or simply channels the laid-back, tropical vibe of Florida, the holidays are the perfect time to stand out with messaging that blends festive cheer with local flavor.

Here’s how you can sprinkle a little “Florida magic” into your holiday outreach this year.

💡 Embrace Your Uniqueness

Holiday marketing can often feel like a sea of sameness—think red and green everything, snow-covered scenes, and predictable taglines. But if your brand is based in Florida (or has a coastal vibe), you have the opportunity to surprise and delight your audience with a fresh visual twist.

Think flamingos in Santa hats, Christmas lights wrapped around surfboards, or beach picnics with peppermint hot cocoa. It’s playful. It’s memorable. And it helps your audience see the season—and your business—through a new lens.

💡 Tell a Story Through Local Holiday Traditions

While peppermint mochas may be a staple of the season, Florida brings its own flavor to holiday festivities. Boat parades, palm trees strung with lights, and holiday markets under starry skies create stories worth sharing.

"Think about the traditions in your town or your own memories of celebrating the holidays in warm weather. These stories are marketing gold—relatable, local, and filled with heart."

💡 Use Visuals That Match the Mood

The holidays are about connection and emotion—and visuals are a powerful way to convey both. Swap the snowy backdrops for sun-drenched boardwalks. Replace the classic reindeer with sea turtles in Santa hats. By leaning into what makes your brand you, you give your audience something they’re not getting anywhere else.

This is where custom-branded products like our Florida Christmas Coloring Book shine. It’s a playful, creative way to share your story while offering a joyful, hands-on experience. Whether you're handing them out at holiday markets, gifting them to clients, or including them in seasonal mailers, they help you stay top of mind in a meaningful (and fun!) way.

💡 Be Unexpectedly Sweet

And let’s not forget—peppermint and palm trees make a surprisingly sweet pair. Just like holiday flavors, your marketing should offer a refreshing blend that’s both familiar and unexpected. That contrast is what makes your message stick. Why not send peppermint-scented mailers? Or gift a branded coloring book with a peppermint treat tucked inside?

💡 Finish with a Smile

Whether you're launching a holiday offer or just spreading good cheer, the goal is the same: make people feel something. Let your Florida spirit shine. Your customers will remember not just what you offered—but how you made them feel during a busy season.

After all, in a season full of tradition, sometimes the best gift is a twist.

So if you’re ready to share some true Florida Christmas magic this season, we’ve got just the thing.
