It's the holiday season and many brands are taking advantage of this spirited time with marketing initiatives that really focus on customer emotion. One such brand is Clinton Cards, a UK-based card retailer that has launched a competition to grant one of its customers a [Christmas wish](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-outfitters-and-canva).

Clinton Cards is using [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bolthouse-fresh) as the primary tool for this marketing campaign. To enter the competition, Facebook users must simply "like" the Clinton Cards Facebook fan page and write a short statement on what would make his (or someone else’s) Christmas the best one ever. The winner will be granted his wish, a value of up to $15,600 USD. There are also 50 secondary prizes, which comprise "Santa's Sacks" worth about $15 USD each.

According to PSFK, so far some of the entries have included everything from going on vacation for Christmas to enjoying a Christmas feast with the whole family.
