Holiday Shoppe Photo Contest

January 29, 2025

First, thank you to everyone who sent in photos for our Holiday Shoppe Photo Contest. The contest absolutely exploded this year! We were blown away by the amazing submissions you shared. Each one captured such special moments. It is always so fun seeing all your photos and getting to see happy families. We even got some really creative shots this year that let us see the Holiday Shoppe in a whole new light.

This year we had 80(!) photo submissions. HOW do you expect us to decide on the winners with that many submissions?! Well, picking winners this year was nearly impossible. Our team kept going back and forth, “But look at this one!” “No wait, this one!” Every single photo brought back wonderful memories of the season and reminded us just how special our community is.

For those who might have missed it, we’ve announced this year’s winners (check them out below!). Winners, you should have received an email about your prizes and how to claim them for next year. If you haven’t seen that email yet, give us a shout – it might be playing hide-and-seek in your spam folder!

Thank you for sharing your special moments with us. We can’t wait to see what memories we create together next holiday season!
