Seasonal And Holiday Campaign Calendar Builder

## CONTEXT
Seasonal peaks and holidays concentrate a large share of annual DTC revenue, and brands that plan early outperform those that scramble. In 2026, the most effective brands map a full-year calendar of moments, prepare creative and inventory ahead, and sequence promotions to capture demand without over-discounting. They coordinate channels around key dates, plan for shipping cutoffs, and protect margin through smart offer design. A strong calendar turns chaotic peak periods into orchestrated, profitable campaigns aligned to inventory and capacity.
