6 Viral Spring Etsy Trends (Mardi Gras, St. Patrick’s, Easter + Black History Month) — Made With AI
Spring is around the corner, and Etsy is a super seasonal platform. Buyers come to Etsy looking for products tied to specific holidays — and the sellers who are early usually take the biggest slice of the sales.
In this post, we’re going over six viral Etsy themes that are about to take over spring. If you don’t know what to sell, you’ll walk away with a clear list of what’s working right now — plus how to research trends before they go fully mainstream.
Spring holidays we’re targeting: Mardi Gras, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, and Black History Month (plus a couple bonus angles you can use to stack sales).
Why being early is the cheat code
In my opinion, staying 2–3 months ahead is the best way to win on Etsy. When you post early, you give Etsy time to index your listing, test it, and start ranking you before the platform gets saturated.
Most sellers show up late. Your goal is simple: show up early with designs that already have demand.
Trend #1: Black History Month (and MLK Day overlap)
One of the earliest spring-adjacent waves is Black History Month (February). You’ll also see momentum from MLK Day leading into it.
What’s working:
- Digital quote designs featuring MLK themes
- Dark-toned, elegant “coquette bow” style variations for BHM
- Teacher-focused printable packs (teachers buy a LOT on Etsy)
Big takeaway: don’t limit yourself to “clipart bundles.” Teacher resources, classroom posters, and printable learning packs can be their own category — and they move fast.
Trend #2: Mardi Gras (bows, beads, gators, and glitter)
Mardi Gras is huge, especially in the South — and Etsy buyers love themed apparel and party visuals.
What’s working:
- Mardi Gras coquette bow bundles in classic purple/green/gold
- “Mardi Gras tree” designs with bead elements
- Yarn-style Mardi Gras bundles (yes, yarn keeps winning)
- Glittery / shiny clipart packs: crowns, jesters, masks, gators
- Wall art / poster designs in French or iconic Mardi Gras phrases
If you’re doing clipart: shiny, festive, “party-ready” packs perform well because buyers use them for invites, classroom activities, party decor, and small business promos.
How to research “viral” listings before they go viral
You can manually scan Etsy (search keywords + scroll), but it’s slow. The faster approach is using a system that tracks listings based on signals like:
- Bestseller tag
- Popular now tag
- 20+ add-to-carts
- Listings that are new but gaining favorites unusually fast
That “new but heating up” category is the money zone — because it shows you what’s gaining traction before everyone copies it.
If you want to speed this whole process up, this is exactly why I built Kreatorium AI — so you can research viral Etsy products and generate designs with models like Nano Banana in one place instead of juggling multiple subscriptions.
Trend #3: Easter (religious + whimsical + watercolor)
Easter is one of the biggest spring peaks for Etsy, and it works across multiple product types: clipart, wall art, digital prints, and print-on-demand apparel.
What’s working:
- Religious text designs (example: “He is Risen”)
- Whimsical bunny clipart packs (funny, expressive styles)
- Watercolor Easter bundles (bunnies, lambs, eggs, cakes)
- Yarn-style Easter designs (the trend is still alive)
Pro tip: wall art that’s selling for low prices as a digital download can often earn more as print-on-demand. Same design, higher ticket.
Trend #4: Spring wall art (simple bunnies, high aesthetic)
Minimal spring wall art is quietly strong — especially bundles or sets. Cute rabbits/bunnies and soft seasonal palettes consistently convert.
If you’re a wall art seller, spring is your season. Keep it clean, cohesive, and easy to visualize in a home.
Trend #5: Bible verse bundles (pink spring palette)
Religious verse bundles in spring colors are a sleeper hit. A simple pack of multiple verses in a cohesive style can sell as:
- Digital prints
- Print-on-demand shirts / sweatshirts
- Church group resources
- Wall art sets
Pink / soft palette = spring renewal vibes, and it fits the season perfectly.
Trend #6: St. Patrick’s Day (lucky phrases + niche roles)
St. Patrick’s Day is massive in the US, especially in apparel.
What’s working:
- Simple “Lucky” typography designs
- Brushstroke + lucky charm elements
- “Happy go lucky” phrase designs
- Niche-role variations like “One Lucky Nurse” (nurses + teachers buy a lot on Etsy)
Simple sells. This is one of those holidays where you don’t need complexity — you need the right phrase, readable typography, and a clean mockup.
Bonus trend: Flowers + whimsical clipart (spring domination)
If you sell clipart, spring is your playground. Anything with:
- Flowers
- Whimsical characters
- Soft pastel palettes
…is positioned to perform well. I’ve seen entire stores preparing months ahead with nothing but bouquet themes, woodland animals holding flowers, spring bunnies, and floral props in every pack.
And yes — spring clipart can explode fast. My first viral listing back in 2023 was a simple Easter bunny bundle that took off within days and ran for months.
Quick execution plan (don’t overthink it)
- Pick 1–2 holidays to focus on first (don’t try to do all of them at once)
- Make 10–20 listings per holiday in a consistent style
- Prioritize what’s already getting traction (bestseller, popular now, add-to-carts)
- Post early and let Etsy rank you before the rush
