Monthly
Instagram trends, December 2026
The month where everyone publishes a year at once, and what that does to reach.
What changes in December
Recaps flood the feed in the last week. Reach per post drops, saves rise: people keep recaps to compare later.
What works
A single card, a clear metric, and a caption under three lines. Long essays under a recap get skipped.
What to avoid
Posting nine separate tiles in random order: the grid shows them in reverse and the card loses its meaning.
The date that matters
The 27th to the 31st is the window. Publishing on the 26th means competing with Christmas; on the 2nd, with the aftermath.
When should I post my recap?
Between the 27th and the 31st of December.

The app builds this card from your published posts.
Prevz reads your Instagram account (optional, read-only), ranks your nine by likes, saves or comments, and exports a Story at 1080 × 1920 or a Post at 1080 × 1350.
