[Swizzels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delamere-x-swizzels-flavored-milk) and Day Out [With The Kids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/four-roses-distillery) have collaborated on a new promotion that will reward consumers with exclusive discounts, complimentary passes and more to help families maximize summer experiences in a value-driven way.

The promotional partnership sees a number of [Swizzels candy products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swizzels-refreshers-tropical) paired with on-pack promotion branding and will give consumers the chance to win one of 5,000 annual VIP passes from Day Out With The Kids. Shoppers who don't win will still receive a three-month family pass for free to encourage them to take advantage of the complimentary discount. The promotion addresses consumer concerns surrounding cost of living and holiday spend as shoppers gravitate more strongly towards on-pack promotions.

Chief Executive Officer at Day Out With The Kids James Morgan commented on the Swizzels and Day Out With The Kids promotional partnership saying, "In collaborating with Swizzels, we can bring thousands of discounted days out to more families across the UK. With every purchase of a variety pack, people can access cheaper tickets for an endless range of attractions, whether they’re at home or on holiday, saving money at a time when it really counts."
