Our Top 50 November Blog Post Topic Ideas (With Guides)

Blog Post Ideas

November brings us loads of traditional–and plenty of fresh–topics for bloggers to tackle.

It’s a rich time of remembrance, when Americans honor our military with Veteran’s Day, loved ones who have passed with All Souls’ Day and Day of the Dead, and our nation’s early heritage with Thanksgiving and all the nostalgic trimmings.  But November also looks to the future, prodding us with election days, National Cancer Awareness Day, and National Stress Awareness Day. 

Then there are the wacky “holidays” like National Hug a Musician Day (Nov. 13th) and National Pizza with the Works except Anchovies Day (Nov.12—no word on when the anchov-ied pizzas get celebrated).

Some sports are in high gear and will merit blog posts.  Autumn is at its best, and readers will be interested in everything from leaf-peeping to winterizing home and garden.  Your November blogs will be as crisp and nourishing as a ripe apple. 

Let us get your fall juices flowing with these ideas:

  1. On the hunt?

November is prime hunting season for deer, and this overlaps with elk season.  Look into quail, rabbit, etc., opportunities in your locale.  Don’t forget your readers who may be “game” for bow hunting, trapping, and fishing.

  1. Your first Thanksgiving?

Cover how little ones are introduced to the holiday, or describe the experience of a recent immigrant or visitor to the U.S.—how did they or will they celebrate it, and what dishes will be on their table?

  1. Election Day

Take a look at voter registration, local processes, and of course, the results.  Congressional and Presidential polling will draw a large audience but you can also weigh in on legislation and lesser-known candidates.

  1. Leaf-peeping—is it a thing? 

According to “The West Wing,” and according to thousands of tourists in the Northeast, it is!   Guide your readers to likely scenic spots and to the equipment, transportation, and lodgings that will make for an Insta-worthy experience.

  1. Who’s eating what this Thanksgiving? 

Interviews will appetize your readers.  Contact local influencers and even office holders to expound upon their Turkey Day menu and memories.
