Are you ready to reach holiday shoppers on CTV? For many streamers, the season is already underway.

Last year, according to Roku internal data, holiday content searches on Roku saw an 86% increase during October. And in November, those searches rise an average of 39% weekly. This surging holiday spirit is mirrored by consumer activity, as about half of Roku streamers shopped Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals in 2025.

Meeting those shoppers is easier than you might think. Begin with the seasonal outcome you hope to drive: awareness, online sales, leads, store visits, or another measurable goal. From there, define your audience, upload your creative, set the budget and campaign dates, and establish measurement before launching. You can even create a shoppable ad unit that lets streamers buy with a click of their remote.

Our holiday playbook offers a month-by-month guide to reaching shoppers during this all-important time of year.

Welcome back. This week the biggest money in agriculture moved through rangeland rather than a term sheet: 2.6 million soil carbon credits from Mexican ranches found corporate buyers, and Africa's development agency wants farmers to get a bigger slice of that market. Elsewhere, a California dairy signed a $15M deal to grow its own feed indoors, Bunge and GDM teamed up on new oilseeds, and EuroTier and EIMA brought a run of new feed, tractor and crop protection launches.

Our latest Trends Analysis tracks fruit and berry activity in the iGrow Intelligence database from 1 January to 30 October 2026 against the same window in 2025. Records rose to 104 from 36, private rounds went from three to 21, and two deals, Oishii's $150M Series C and Tropic's $105M Series C, carry about three quarters of that money. Ownership changes climbed from one to eight, led by Mission Produce's roughly $430M purchase of Calavo Growers, and crop protection moved from the margin of the category to its center. The edition closes with four signposts to watch into 2027.

Boomitra completes sale and delivery of 2.6 million soil carbon credits [Chihuahuan and Sonoran deserts, Northern Mexico]. The [San Mateo, California] company sold 2.6 million of the 3.03 million credits Verra approved in February 2026, in several spot purchases to corporate buyers it did not name. Prices and total proceeds were not disclosed. The credits come from about 4.8 million acres (roughly 1.94 million hectares) of grassland worked by more than 600 participants, including community-owned ejidos and private ranches. The project is registered under Verra's VCS as project 2887 and uses the VM0042 improved agricultural land management methodology. Ranchers and local partners receive at least 75% of gross carbon revenue, and chief executive Aadith Moorthy described the sales as a major milestone for soil carbon removal.

Structural Impact: Soil carbon has struggled to reach buyers at scale because measurement on millions of acres is expensive and verification is slow. Selling about 86% of a single Verra issuance within roughly nine months of approval shows corporate buyers will take agricultural removals in volume once they clear verification. The 75% revenue share sets a reference point for other developers recruiting ranchers, and it turns grazing management into a second income line for operators on marginal land. The remaining 430,000 credits, and whether Boomitra names buyers or prices on the next issuance, will show how deep that demand runs. If similar projects follow, rangeland across the Americas becomes a carbon asset class with ranchers holding a direct stake rather than a pass-through fee.
