Top 100 Branding Trends in December

From Mint-Scented Holiday Sweaters to Gaming Sneaker Collabs

The top December 2021 branding ideas dive into a sense of comfort, uplifting and playfulness, and familiarity in the form of retro designs. From the release of historic NFTs to fun-focused skincare sets, brands are tapping into the joy of the season to promote positivity.

From festive coffee cups to limited-edition treats, brands tapped into the spirit of the season with memorable designs that delight the senses. While ORBIT released its own peppermint-scented holiday sweater, Hormel awakened senses with bacon-scented wrapping paper.

With designs focused on fun, hope and a sense of optimism, and messaging that promises a brighter year ahead after tumultuous times, brands are supporting the long-awaited reunions of friends and family members this holiday season.
