# Holiday 2026

## 2025 Recap & Learnings

Consumers continued to drive record sales of customized products during the 2025 holiday gift-giving season. Cyber Weekend 2025 again set new highs for the Spectrum platform, with online shoppers active well before Thanksgiving and continuing deep into December — reinforcing the multi-week peak pattern we first saw in 2024.

#### 2025 by the Numbers

## 2026 Holiday Readiness

The Spectrum team prioritizes holiday planning at the start of Q1 and is ready for the influx of traffic.

#### Performance Focus

At Spectrum, we are always investing in continued performance refinements for our clients. Building on the 2025 platform investments — including the **3DTrue v4** renderer release, the move to `.webp` 3D textures, and rate limiting for AI moderation requests — our 2026 focus areas include continued AI safety guardrails, render-pipeline optimizations, and additional capacity headroom ahead of peak weekends.

#### Scalable Infrastructure

Spectrum platform resources are configured to automatically expand to handle higher traffic, ensuring fast response times throughout the entire season — even during peak hours.

#### Customer Support

In addition to employing 24/7 monitoring and automated alerts, we've also designated technical support staff to be available throughout the season, including holidays. In the unlikely event that you should need support for a production issue, please continue to send requests through your project manager during regular business hours. For requests after hours or on observed holidays, please email <support@spectrumcustomizer.com>.

#### Code Freezes

To mitigate risk during peak traffic, Spectrum will not deploy non-critical code changes during the following time periods:

* November 20 – December 10, 2026
* December 18, 2026 – January 7, 2027
