Top Tips for Moving During the Holidays

Moving around the holidays sounds tricky, but can it be done smoothly?
Yes, it’s about planning ahead, prioritizing comfort, and staying flexible. The holidays don’t have to delay your move.

1. Start early and prioritize

• Book movers, reserve storage, and pack well ahead of peak dates.
• Prioritize essentials: kitchen, bedrooms, and holiday décor.
  

2. Make it feel festive

• Keep familiar items out so the transition still feels like home.
• Use moving boxes that match your décor theme when possible, less visual chaos during the holidays.
  

3. Stay mindful of timelines

• Weather, family events, and holidays can affect movers, delivery schedules, and utilities.
• Build in cushion days in your schedule.
  

4. Stay organized

• Label boxes by room and use themed tags (“Holiday Décor,” “Kitchen Essentials”).
• Keep a checklist for utilities, mail forwarding, and décor set‑up.
  

Final takeaway

Holiday moves require a little extra planning, but with the right approach, you’ll land in your new home with joy, not stress.
