2018 #HigherEd Holidays Video Selection by Karine Joly

Looking for the 2019 selection of Higher Ed Holidays Videos? It’s now available!

A 2018 twist on a higher ed holidays tradition!

I love holidays videos.

For the past 8 years I’ve watched lots of them to create a nice annual collection I shared on my blog College Web Editor for everybody’s viewing pleasure (2010 collection, 2011 collection, 2012 collection, 2013 collection, 2014 collection, 2015 collection, 2016 collection and 2017 collection)

Since I didn’t get the time to review this year as many as I did in the past (the work on the brand new courses we’re launching in January has kept me too busy), I’ve decided to post my selection in a different venue.

So, here’s my 2018 (shorter) selection of favorite holidays videos (in no specific order) – Please note that this page might take a bit more time to load than your usual web page – which is normal when you have multiple embedded videos. 🙂

If you have a holidays video or have seen a cool one that isn’t listed below, post a comment below (I’m updating the post with new additions) so we can all watch it – and get inspired, next year, when it’s time to come up with an idea for the 2019 Holiday Video 🙂
