Do you know a town that goes all out for the holidays? Does your city have the kind of holiday spirit that rivals a Hallmark movie? Well, here’s your chance to shine (literally!) because Old World Christmas is celebrating National Ornament Day with an epic contest — and they’re looking for the most festive city in the U.S. to host their Largest Ornament Swap this holiday season!

For 45 years, Old World Christmas has been spreading holiday cheer with their beautiful, handcrafted ornaments, and now they’re taking things up a notch. They’re on a mission to find the ultimate Christmas-loving city to host a swap that’s sure to be one for the record books. Think of it like a Christmas party on steroids, where over 100 people will gather to play games and swap intricate, artisanal ornaments (courtesy of Old World Christmas, of course) until they each go home with the perfect holiday treasure for their tree.

And the best part? YOU get to help decide where it all goes down!

How Does it Work?

Starting now through October 6, Old World Christmas is accepting nominations for the city that deserves the honor of hosting this magical event. You can nominate your town, your hometown, or even your favorite Christmas-loving city — basically, any place that knows how to do the holidays right. Just imagine the twinkling lights, the cozy winter vibes, and the smell of hot cocoa in the air as your city becomes the stage for the ultimate holiday gathering.

Once the nominations are in, Old World Christmas will narrow it down to the top five cities, and from there, it’s up to the fans! Voting will take place on their Instagram and Facebook pages, with the winner being crowned the host of the Largest Ornament Swap this November.

Why Should Your City Host?

Neal Applefeld, President and CEO of Old World Christmas, says it best: “We could easily pick a city to host this, but we want our fans to weigh in, tell us where to go, and show us their city holiday pride. We can’t wait to see where we end up.”

This is your city’s chance to show the rest of the country how you celebrate the holidays. Do you have an annual tree lighting that rivals Rockefeller Center? Is your downtown lined with festive lights and giant wreaths? Does your community come together for caroling or holiday markets? Whatever it is, now’s the time to flaunt it!

Ready to Nominate?

Head over to the Old World Christmas website to submit your city before time runs out! And if you’re wondering what else this iconic company has up its sleeve for the holiday season, they’ve got over 1,600 unique ornaments to choose from — including everything from timeless traditional designs to quirky pop culture nods. Honestly, there’s something for everyone.

So, let’s get those nominations rolling and show Old World Christmas why your city deserves to host the Largest Ornament Swap. It’s time to deck the halls and bring the holiday magic to life!
