No More Gifts, But Cocktails And Outfits, Yes
Right after Christmas, customer behaviour completely shifts. They stop looking for gifts and start shopping for themselves or preparing New Year’s Eve gatherings. Searches for “new years cocktails” on Pinterest jumped 9.8 times, while “NYE casual outfit” increased 30 times.
Three categories see the biggest boom:
- food and drinks
- fashion
- health and beauty
People treat themselves after holiday stress – searches for “clear skin” grow 210%, “detox bath” by 48%, and “body oils” by 22%.
New Year’s Resolutions = Real Money
More than a third of users set New Year’s goals during this period, which is 2.4 times more than people who don’t use Pinterest. And we’re not talking about abstract resolutions.
Specific searches:
- “budgeting” +250%
- “personal finance” +230%
- “home organisation ideas” +79%
- “vertical vegetable garden” +74%
Why Visual Search Works
After weeks of choosing gifts, planning menus and shopping, people simply have decision fatigue. Classic text search doesn’t help – they need to know exactly what they’re looking for.
73% of customers say visual results on Pinterest work better than traditional search engines.
Instead of finding the right words, they just browse images until they find exactly what they wanted. Like an AI-powered shopping assistant that helps without needing to know what things are called.
For Retailers: Cheaper Ads, Bigger Reach
After the Christmas rush, advertising dynamics completely change. As competition eases but customers remain active, cost per impression (eCPM) drops while reach increases.
Pinterest recommends two practical steps:
Local campaigns
Show nearby shoppers what you have in stock with pickup or local delivery options. Including current prices and availability.
Trend tracking
Use the Pinterest Trends tool to monitor what people search for in real-time. Trends change every day.

Reality Beyond Gift-Giving Season
While traditional e-commerce calendars end on December 24, real data shows something else. The week after Christmas isn’t downtime – it’s a business opportunity with active buyers, lower competition, and better advertising prices.
The question isn’t whether Q5 exists. The question is how many retailers notice it before their competition does.
