YouTube and Target are partnering in a social media initiative that has produced a consumer-friendly, customized channel themed entirely for the holidays. With the holiday season in full force retailers such as Target are reaching out to customers online.

The new YouTube channel, Holiday Solutions features videos on everything from home and party ideas to recipes, gift giving tips and of course, Target-specific holiday videos and a Target gift guide. The official YouTube blog says that the channel is perfect to help consumers navigate through the season.

Videos are said to be updated regularly to keep the site fresh with ideas. The site is a compilation of some of the best YouTube experts including Paula Dean, Real Simple Network, Howcast, DIYNetwork, HGTV and more.

The site has also made the exciting addition of having Food Network’s Chef Alton Brown taking visitors Thanksgiving recipe questions. The most interesting queries will be answered in a special video series beginning next week. Participants interested in submitting a holiday recipe question can leave a comment on the YouTube channel.

Holiday Solutions is a well designed channel that is targeted in such a careful manner that it may prove to be more accessible and all-around helpful then your typical holiday-themed television programs or talk show segments.
