FAQ

When should I post a Christmas giveaway?

December 15-20, 2026. Gives 5-10 days for entries. Reveal December 23-24 so winner receives prize before Christmas.

What prizes work best for Christmas?

Holiday hampers (multi-item), family experiences (dinner, trip), gift cards to luxury brands. Avoid generic items — Christmas viewers want 'special' prizes.

How do I make winners feel special at Christmas?

Use Premium $7.99 cinematic reveal. Personalized message in the reveal video. Send the prize with handwritten note. 'Christmas magic' moments go viral.

Can I run a giveaway during Christmas week?

Yes but engagement peaks BEFORE Christmas (Dec 18-23). Posting Christmas day itself has lower engagement because people are with family, not on phones.
