Golden Christmas Cracker Treasure Hunt

What is the Golden Christmas Cracker Treasure Hunt?

Christmas Crackers, “Crackers” are used as decorative party favors to celebrate a variety of other special occasions and festive events. Cost Plus World Market is known for having the largest collection of Christmas Crackers available during the holiday season. The tradition of pulling the crackers and donning of the party hats has created a relaxed, festive atmosphere certain to get any party function off the ground.

The Golden Christmas Cracker Treasure Hunt is all about great fun and is easy to play. When you visit your local Cost Plus World Market between November 1st – November 27th, not only do you get to shop and enjoy all of the beautiful items they have, but you can also enjoy looking for treasure, worth up $100! Their Golden Christmas Cracker not only consists of a $20, 50 or $100 reward but once a winner pops open the Christmas Cracker, they will also receive a paper crown (tissue party hat), a motto (joke or riddle), a snap (friction activated popping device), and a small gift or novelty item.

Here’s how to play the Golden Christmas Cracker Treasure Hunt

  • Every day beginning Friday, November 1st  through Wednesday, November 27th  your local Cost Plus World Market store will hide 8 Golden Christmas Crackers pieces throughout the store.
  • Each day, there will be a daily clue shared which you can find in the store, through Cost Plus World Markets email, and on social media. Use the clue to help you find a Golden Christmas Cracker piece and you could receive a reward.
  • Find (1) Golden Christmas Cracker piece and bring it to the nearest store associate to exchange for a reward coupon worth $20, $50 or $100. The reward is valid only on the day it is awarded, so fill up your basket and be prepared to shop.
  • Limit one (1) reward per person throughout the Promotion Period (11/1/19 – 11/27/19), regardless of store location(s) visited. EMPLOYEES AND DESIGNATED SHOPPER NOT ELIGIBLE. See Terms of Participation for complete details. For the full list of official rules, visit here.

My suggestion: Be in the parking lot of your local Cost Plus World Market, wait for my clue, I’ll share it every day at 8 am (eastern) between November 1st until November 27th (2019), simply keep up with me on my Instagram Stories to see what the daily clue will be, then wait for the store to open and walk in with clue in hand! You can also find the daily clues at any Cost Plus World Markets social channels and in their emails.
