Thinking about moving over the holidays? How do you pull it off without losing your holiday spirit (or your sanity)?
With a clear plan, holiday moves can be smooth, and sometimes even advantageous, because you might avoid the summer rush.

Holiday‑move tips:

  • Schedule movers and utilities early, many people book off time during holidays.
  • Label boxes by priority ("Kitchen first," "Holiday decor") so you still enjoy some holiday comforts.
  • Expect weather delays, build buffer days into your timeline.
  • Plan decor transition carefully, clean, declutter, and stage efficiently if you’re selling.

Final takeaway: Holiday moves take a little extra planning, but with organization and flexibility, you can close the year with a fresh start.
