Quick Answers
What tools do you need?
Just the platform account.
How much does it cost?
No paid tools needed: this case uses only the platform itself, which is free to join.
Is it allowed?
Yes, if it is original. YouTube does not monetize mass-produced or repetitive content. Source.
Watch out: Seasonal content peaks before Oct 31; plan the next holiday so the channel doesn't stall in November. The video is a collaboration with the tool maker, Flick.
