1 - 12 December / Multiple Establishments
Santa is heading to your neighbourhood, with a long list of names (we hope you've been good!).
With Rudolph leading his magical sleigh, making a pitstop at ours as he heads on his way!
You know how much we love spreading joy any day of the year but Christmas comes in at the top of our list, so this year we're putting in a good word with the big man to make your Christmas dreams come true.
Go in the draw to win your wish this Christmas by popping into any Joylab establishment between 1 - 12 December, writing a letter to Santa and dropping it in our magical letterboxes heading straight to the North Pole.
Simply:
1. Fill out a post card with your Christmas wish
2. Pop it in the letterbox
3. Keep yourself on Santa’s nice list - you’re now in the draw to win your wish.
A new bike? Maybe a bungee jump? You daredevil! Or perhaps you’re easily pleased and another drink would do you just fine - no matter how big or small your wish, jot it down and our elves could make it come true.
