Weekend Edit - Create Your December Video Plan in 15 Minutes

December is always intense for business owners. Workloads rise. Events fill evenings. Personal commitments take over the weekends. Content creation becomes an afterthought. Yet December is a month filled with high engagement, strong reach, and motivated audiences. People scroll more, save more, and look for simple ideas they can carry into the next year.

This is why planning your December videos in advance matters. If you wait until you have time, you will not post consistently. A simple structure changes everything. You can build an entire month of video content in fifteen minutes with the right workflow and a little help from AI.

This guide will show you how to do exactly that. No complex planning. No long idea sessions. No editing stress. Just one short weekend routine that gives you clarity for the rest of the month.

Why a Simple December Plan Works

December creates a perfect environment for content that teaches, inspires, or simplifies something. People have more downtime and more interest in fresh ideas. They also look for creators who appear organised, calm, and confident during a busy season. A clear plan helps you show up that way even when life feels hectic.

The goal is not to produce more content. The goal is to create a plan that stops you from scrambling each week. When you know what you are posting and why, filming becomes easier. Editing becomes quicker. Consistency becomes natural.

The Complete 15 Minute Workflow

This entire process fits into a single short session. Set a timer for fifteen minutes and move through each stage without stopping. The speed is what makes it effective. You avoid overthinking. You avoid getting stuck. You simply build out your plan and finish.

The workflow includes five steps.
One, choose four December themes.
Two, list your weekly ideas.
Three, turn those ideas into scripts with AI.
Four, choose your CTAs for the month.
Five, map your posting dates.

Once you complete these steps, you have a full video plan ready to record and publish.

Step One: Choose Four December Themes

Start by choosing themes that match your niche and feel natural to post at the end of the year. You want topics that create clarity for your audience and help them prepare for the coming year. You also want themes that feel easy to talk about on camera.

Strong December themes often focus on reflection, lessons learned, quick improvements, simple resets, tools that support productivity, plans for the new year, or personal insights that encourage your audience to take action. You only need four themes because these give you enough structure without adding pressure.

If you struggle to choose, pick themes that you already talk about often. The key is familiarity. You will film faster when you choose topics you understand well.

Step Two: Create Your Video Ideas

Once you have your themes, come up with two or three video ideas for each one. Keep the ideas simple. You want short statements you can build on later in your scripts. Think about the questions people ask you, the mistakes they make, or the insights that changed your own workflow.

Do this quickly. Do not pause to refine anything. These ideas are placeholders. You will improve them during scripting. Fast thinking is the aim here. Slow thinking will stop you hitting your fifteen minute target.

By the end of this stage, you will have eight to twelve clear video ideas. This is enough to post two or three times a week throughout December.

Step Three: Use AI to Write Your Scripts

Now take each idea and turn it into a short script. Your script should include a hook, a main point, and one clear CTA. You do not need full paragraphs or long explanations. The best short form videos keep the message direct and finish before the viewer scrolls away.

You can ask AI to write each script in seconds. Use a short instruction that keeps the tone natural and helps you sound like you. Ask for a script that stays under fifteen seconds, uses simple sentences, and includes a confident call to action. This keeps your delivery smooth and prevents rambling.

Repeat this request for all your ideas. In less than three minutes, you will have a full content library of ready to film scripts that match your December themes.

Step Four: Pick Your CTAs for the Month

Your call to action shapes the response you want from your audience. December works well with supportive and helpful CTAs because people often use this month to plan their goals or prepare their next steps.

You only need two CTAs for the entire month. Pick one that encourages direct engagement and one that encourages saves or shares. Examples include asking people to message you for help with planning or asking them to save your post if they want to revisit your tip later.

Using the same CTAs all month makes your content feel consistent while keeping your workflow simple.

Step Five: Map Your Posting Schedule

Once your scripts and CTAs are ready, choose your posting days. Most creators do well with two or three posts a week during December. You can post on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, or pick any pattern that suits your routine. What matters is regularity.

Place your ideas into the calendar with a logical flow. Start the month with reflective posts. Follow with quick fixes or useful advice. Move into AI or productivity topics mid month. Finish with planning or mindset videos that prepare your audience for the new year.

You now have a full December plan. No overthinking. No stress. No second guessing.

How to Film Your Videos Quickly

Once your plan is done, schedule one short filming session. Recording becomes easier because you already have scripts, themes, and CTAs.

Film each clip as a single take. Do not aim for perfection. The goal is clarity, not cinema level production. Use a clean background, natural light, and simple framing. Keep each clip under twenty seconds. When you record with a script in hand, you will move through the process quickly.

Most creators can film eight to twelve videos in under an hour when they follow this method.

Editing With AI for Speed

Editing does not need to take long. Use AI tools that automate captioning, trimming, and resizing. CapCut, Submagic, Descript, and Veed are strong choices. They add captions, clean the audio, and adjust the layout for each platform.

This lets you prepare your full December video set in one short session. You can then upload everything into your scheduler for automatic posting. This stops December from feeling chaotic and keeps your content running even during the busiest weeks.

Real Example: A December Plan in Action

A wedding florist in Glasgow used this exact fifteen minute workflow last year. She struggled to post consistently during winter because events and client meetings filled her schedule. She wanted to stay visible but could not manage daily content creation.

She used this planning session on the first Saturday of December. She picked four simple themes. She wrote nine video ideas. AI wrote her scripts. She filmed everything on the same day and used a scheduler to organise her posts.

Her content went live twice a week for the whole month without manual effort. She received more enquiries, gained new followers, and entered January with strong visibility. Her reach increased even though she posted fewer videos than in previous months.

The difference was structure.

The AI Prompt That Builds Your Full December Plan

Here is a copy and paste prompt that builds your December plan in seconds. It keeps everything simple and structured.

"Act as my December content planner. Create four themes that fit my niche. For each theme, write three short video ideas. Write a fifteen second script for each idea with a hook, one clear point, and a simple call to action. Suggest two call to action lines I can use all month. Create a posting schedule for four weeks."

Save this prompt and use it at the start of any month.

Why This System Works

This workflow works because it removes the mental load that usually comes with content planning. You no longer wonder what to post. You no longer get stuck trying to write a script. You no longer worry about filming each day.

You plan once.
You film once.
You edit once.
You schedule once.

The rest of your December becomes stress free.

Short form video becomes a simple task, not a demanding one.
