It's officially the holidays! Why do we love them so much?

Well holiday sweepstakes are some of the biggest giveaways of the year! Every year, companies share there holiday spirit by giving away big prizes for holidays like Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Year's. It's a fun filled time where you can really win big!

The prizes offered can range from the hottest toys and must-haves like Christmas presents or even things like Thanksgiving entertaining essentials (can you say gourmet Thanksgiving dinner?). They even have prizes that let you sit back and pamper yourself during or after the holiday rush.

Sounds good? We knew you'd be interested! So here's your challenge: let's see how many of these sweeps our fans can win before the holidays end!

Here are some tips for entering holiday sweepstakes:

As with all sweepstakes you want to validate that they are a legitimate sweepstakes. With all the hustle and bustle this time of year, crooks use that too their advantage. Just because there are so many sweepstakes to get too is no excuse for not doubling checking and making sure you're in on a chance to win a real prize.

Gift Cards Anyone?

Some people love to win gift cards and if that's you then you are in for a treat. This time of year we see more gift cards up for grabs than any other time of the year. This means you'll see prizes like $50 gift cards to store like Walmart and Target plus big gift cards offered that go up to $5000 to places like Amazon. You could easily spend a whole day entering sweepstakes that feature gift cards as prizes.

Holiday Favorites

This time of year you'll want to pay close attention to the expiration dates of sweepstakes. Since it is also the end of the year, many end on December 31, 2015 at 11:59pm. Also there are a number of short-term entry periods. This is because the prizes are seasonal. For instance, there might be a holiday sweepstakes for holiday collectors ornaments or Christmas Dinner and of course, they want you to have them in time to enjoy them. So pay close attention to those dates so you can properly enter.

Since many entry periods are also shorter, you'll want to make sure you are entering as many sweepstakes as you can. A PLUS membership can help with this and make sure you stay organized too.
