‘Tis the season to be jolly, and we all know what that means: everyone’s favourite Christmas movies will be doing the rounds. 

One subscription box company is getting into the Christmas spirit by going a step further than most, with a rather unique offer.

BloomsyBox is offering $2,500 worth of prizes to “the ultimate Hallmark Christmas Movie buff” with the challenging task of watching and ranking 12 Christmas movies this holiday season.

This includes $2000 cash, as well as “an ample supply of Ghirardelli hot cocoa” and two pairs of fuzzy socks to the chosen candidate to help sweeten the deal.

In addition to the $2,000 payment, the chosen candidate will also receive a 12-month flower box subscription, delivering a “seasonal, sustainably sourced fresh bouquet straight to their door each month.”

Of course, the Christmas movie expert must adhere to strict conditions, which include watching the 12 films in 12 days, as well as a five-step rating system.

“We’ve devised an ironclad rating system designed to stand up to the scrutiny of even the most steadfast of scrooges,” the website proudly proclaims. 

This “ironclad rating system” includes a Festivity Factor, Predictability Quotient, Chemistry Check, Tear-Jerker Test and Replay Value (all key factors when rating a good Christmas movie).

The movies chosen for the competition are The Most Wonderful Time of the Year (2008), Crown for Christmas (2015), The Nine Lives of Christmas (2014), Christmas Getaway (2017), Journey Back to Christmas (2016), Ghosts of Christmas Always (2022), Family for Christmas (2015), Christmas Under Wraps (2014), Three Wise Men and a Baby (2022), A Royal Christmas (2014), Northpole (2014) and The Christmas Train (2017).

It could be the ultimate Christmas gift this holiday season, a perfect balance of enjoyment and financial gain, and an ingenious marketing campaign.

Applications are open until December 3rd through the BloomsyBox website.
