Description

The 2025 holiday season is a unique opportunity for short-term rental hosts—but only if you plan your pricing and calendar strategy the right way. In this episode of Thanks for Visiting, Sarah and Annette break down how the holiday calendar lines up this year and how you can use it to boost your bottom line without adding extra work.

They’ll show you why setting minimum stays, adjusting rates on key dates, and preparing your team now can make the difference between leaving money on the table and having your most profitable holiday season yet.

You’ll learn how to:

• Spot unique 2025 travel patterns that create bonus holiday weekends.
• Set three-to-four-night minimums to increase revenue and reduce turnover.
• Use dynamic pricing software like PriceLabs to automate smart adjustments.
• Prepare your property and team in advance so you can enjoy the holidays too.
• Shift your mindset to see the calendar not as dates, but as opportunities for revenue.

Smart hosts don’t wait until December—they plan now and reap the rewards later.
