Calling all Christmas-loving seniors, Hallmark and CenturyLinkQuote created a holiday competition for one lucky, spirited individual to receive a “Christmas Miracle” of $1,000 for the holidays.

Using the designated list of movies, the contest consists of a 12-day, 24-movie marathon that the viewer must complete and document on social media using the hashtags #countdowntoChristmas and #Hallmarkdreamjob. As well, applicants must complete an online form and include a favorite Hallmark Christmas film, an explanation of how movies affect your holiday experience, and even an optional video showcasing holiday spirit. 

While the contest requires applicants to be 18 years old, anyone is welcome to participate in the binge-watching. The movies must be completed by Dec. 6.

“I love Hallmark movies, but I don’t think I could watch that many at once,” said junior Tabitha Moore. “They all have similar plots, which is great, but I would go nuts.”
