Inspired by three of its most popular flavors, prebiotic soda brand [Olipop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olipop-orange-cream-candle) created a trio of scented gift wrap designs. Olipop's first-ever scented wrapping paper is up for grabs as part of a limited-time sweepstakes, where over 1,000 rolls of wrapping paper and 12-packs of the corresponding Olipop flavors will be shared with fans.

Ginger Ale, Vintage Cola and the all-new and festive Crisp Apple variety from Olipop each inspired a unique wrapping paper design. While the gift wrap that corresponds with Crisp Apple represents the brand's Oli and Pop mascots, Vintage Cola inspired a print with nostalgic Christmas decorations, trees and retro bottles, and Ginger Ale matches the vibrant green color of the can to share a seasonal design adorned with Santa hats, holiday lights and candy canes.
