Contextual Field
The Deck-Out follows the pattern of grocery retailers using user-generated holiday content to build fan loyalty during the year's biggest shopping season. It extends that approach by rewarding home décor with store credit rather than purchases alone.
Shoppers who want to enter should prepare a photo of their holiday display and a description of up to 100 words before entries open on Nov. 9. Entries close Nov. 22, so there is a limited window to plan and submit.
The takeaway
A holiday display photo and a short description are all that is needed to enter, so planning a display early gives you the best chance to submit before entries close Nov. 22.

Entries open Nov. 9, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. ET and close Nov. 22, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. ET.
