Throughout the month of December, bath and body brand Molton Brown launched a five-car fleet of 'Christmas Carriages,' scented taxi cars across the greater London area. The five taxi cabs were beautifully decorated on the outside and were filled with [enticing scents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lola-mullenlowe) from the brand's Vintage 2015 with Elderflower collection.

Part of the brand's larger #MBGiftofLove campaign, each consumer who took a ride in one of the 'Christmas Carriages' received a sample of the collection's [bath and shower gel sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/book-a-bath-sticky-dates), while they also had the chance to enter a VIP £250 shopping spree at the [Molton Brown London](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/molton-brown-christmas-advent-calendar) flagship store.

The whimsical stunt is a clever way for a brand to engage consumers during the holiday season by adding an unexpected enjoyable moment they will remember.
