12 days of christmas with the columbia falls area chamber


9th Annual 12 Days of Christmas


The Columbia Falls Area Chamber of Commerce is excited to bring you the 9th Annual 12 Days of Christmas Fundraiser this December! This community tradition spreads holiday cheer, supports local businesses, and encourages everyone to shop local for the holidays.


The 12 Days of Christmas is more than just a giveaway—it’s a way to bring our community together, celebrate the season, and highlight the amazing businesses that make Columbia Falls and our area special.


How it Works:

  • Local businesses donate prizes to showcase what they offer or to promote their business

  • Community members buy tickets for a chance to win one (or more) of 78 prize bundles

  • Along the way, we shine a spotlight on our Chamber members and encourage everyone to shop local

  • The excitement builds each day until one grand prize winner takes home $300 in Christmas Cash!


Important Dates:

  • October: Businesses donate prizes. Donations are promoted through booklets, videos, and social media.

  • November: Tickets go on sale to the community.

  • December: Chamber representatives host 12 days of live video drawings at local businesses. Each donor is spotlighted during the live event before their prize is awarded.

Prize drawings begin December 1st with 12 winners and count down daily until the grand finale on December 12th—when one person wins $300 in Christmas Cash!


Businesses: Why Participate?

  • Valuable Exposure – Your business will be featured in marketing booklets, videos, social media posts, and live drawings throughout the event.
  • Direct Promotion – Before your donation is drawn for, the video will include a spotlight on your business before the winner is announced.
  • Community Connection – Show your support for Columbia Falls and encourage residents to shop and support local this holiday season.
  • Customer Reach – With nearly 4,000 tickets sold last year and 1,000's of video watches, your business is introduced to thousands of community members.
  • Flexibility – Donations of any size are welcome—there’s no minimum or maximum value.

By participating, you’re not just giving away a donation—you’re helping build a stronger, more connected community while showcasing your business to new customers.
