5 Holiday Stream Ideas to Keep Your Chat Engaged

The holidays are a weird time for content creators. Viewership fluctuates, and regular content can feel stale. But it’s also the best time to bond with your community.

If you are streaming this week, ditch the usual grind and try one of these interactive holiday formats using RiLiFi for Creators.

1. The "Gift Guide" Tier List

Don't just talk about gifts; let Chat vote on them. Use a Live Poll to rate classic holiday gifts (Socks? Gift Cards? Coal?) from "S-Tier" to "F-Tier."

2. The "Year in Clips" Trivia

Test your loyal viewers. Create a Live Quiz based on moments from your stream in 2025. "What game did I rage-quit in March?" It’s a fun trip down memory lane.

3. The Subscriber Raffle

Giving back to the community? Export your sub list and paste it into our Spinning Wheel. Spin it live on stream to give away game keys or merch. The suspense is unmatched.

4. "Chat Controls the Stream"

Let the audience pick your path. Use polls to decide your loadout in a game, or which map to play next. "Democracy Mode" always spikes engagement.

5. The 2026 Prediction Capsule

Ask Chat: "What is one prediction for 2026?" Use a Word Cloud to visualize everyone's hopes (and memes) for the New Year.
