Countdown to Cozy:
A Christmas Family Fun Collection

We are so excited you are considering joining Countdown to Cozy: A Christmas Family Fun Collection — a curated bundle giveaway event designed to help families create meaningful holiday memories, cozy traditions, and festive fun together.

Spread the warmth. Share the magic. Build your list.

How it works

01

The bundle is created

Hosts gather a group of creators and business owners who each contribute a digital product — like a printable, activity pack, planner, game, guide, or resource — all built around the Christmas and family fun theme.

02

Everyone promotes together

Contributors share the bundle with their own audiences. Because multiple contributors are promoting at the same time, the reach multiplies — your offer gets in front of far more people than you could reach alone.

03

Participants get free access

Subscribers receive access to the Cozy collection for free in exchange for signing up to each contributor’s email list.

04

You grow your list

Contributors gain visibility, authority, and a growing list of warm, engaged leads. Participants get an incredible amount of holiday value — all in one place.
