The holidays come but once a year, and we plan to make the most of them—and all their Instagrammable fodder. Few things are more photogenic than ugly Christmas sweaters, carefully wrapped gifts or the first snow of the season, and we have our phones at the ready to capture each and every magical moment. The only issue? Figuring out what to caption our 100th holiday Instagram can be a serious challenge. (Even avid ‘grammers have their limits.) That’s where holiday quotes for Instagram captions come in.

Holiday quotes encapsulate the best of what the holidays have to offer. They transform the intangible magic of the holiday season into a series of pithy words and phrases—leaving the reader feeling both in awe at the sheer feat of language and transplanted into a similarly magical setting. Good Instagram quotes do the same damn thing; the two are a match made in heaven.
Given this, we’re swearing off some of our holiday Instagram go-to’s and replacing them with fresher options—some of the best holiday quotes we’ve come across on the internet. We’re delighted, because we can turn the brain power we would’ve dedicated to our Instagrams toward other things, like what gifts we should buy our loved ones or what delicious recipes we’ll be whipping up this season. And our followers will surely be delighted as well, because they won’t have to see yet another snow photo captioned “The weather outside is frightful.”
Ahead, the myriad captions you’ll see in rotation on our feeds this season. We hope to see them on yours, too.
