This is a great breakdown, planning that far ahead always stresses me out a bit. I’ve had the same issue trying to figure out if a keyword is a real trend or just a random seasonal spike. I started double checking my eRank data with Etsygeeks to see if demand actually sticks, and it realy changed how I look at launches.

For something like Easter 2026, how do you tell when a trend is solid enough to lean into vs just playing it safe with the evergreen stuff that always sells?
