CCEP unveils Christmas community giveaway for convenience retailers

Retailers also have a chance to win a share of £36,000 to donate to a local charity of their choice

Coca-Cola Europacific Partners

Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP) has launched a new initiative called ‘Local Moments of Joy’, giving independent and convenience retailers the chance to win a share of £48,000 ahead of the festive season to help make Christmas extra special for their customers and local area.

Live from Monday (18 November), independent convenience retailers must be registered on My.CCEP.com to enter the daily free prize draw. Each of the 12 randomly selected daily winners will receive £1,000 to thank them for their support in 2024.


The competition closes on 29 November, with winners contacted the day after each draw. More information and full terms and conditions are available on My.CCEP.com.

A further 12 lucky winners can claim up to £10,000, as part of a share of £36,000, to donate to a nominated registered local charity or good cause of their choice.

“For decades, the Coca-Cola brand has united people during memorable seasonal moments and become synonymous with Christmas. Convenience retailers embody that spirit – they are at the heart of their communities all year round, supporting local causes and creating welcoming spaces for everyone,” Ruth Fawcett, convenience & wholesale associate director at CCEP GB, said.

“With ‘Local Moments of Joy’ we want to celebrate and reward their generosity by helping them spread a little extra holiday magic this season. This fund allows retailers to make Christmas even more special, whether through charitable donations or putting on events. We can’t wait to see the joy they bring to their communities this Christmas.”

The new ‘Local Moments of Joy’ community giveaway runs alongside the return of Coca-Cola’s iconic Christmas marketing activity which launches later this month.

Retailers will also be able to access festive Coca-Cola branded point of sale materials from My.CCEP.com.
