Disney Store announced today the launch of its ‘Share the Magic’ holiday campaign, which includes 11 full days of Magical Friday (aka Black Friday) deals as well as in-store events and special ‘experiences like never before.

“Every year we look for ways to help our Guests share the magic with their friends and families, and this holiday, it’s our turn to do the same,’ said Elissa Margolis, senior vice president of Disney Store North America. “We’ve gone beyond the traditional to create experiences that are sure to warm hearts and make this the most magical season yet.”

To celebrate the magic of the season, unsuspecting shoppers in a Southern California Disney Store were recently treated to a special surprise in which every family in the store received a $100 Disney gift card for themselves, and another to share the magic with someone they love this holiday season.

Holiday Deals at Disney Store

Beginning today, Friday, Nov. 20, Disney Store is launching all of its magical deals both in-store and online, with an additional, special deal rolling out when Stores open on Thanksgiving night (11/26) and Magical Friday (11/27)*. Even more deals will launch on Cyber Monday (11/30). Guests have the opportunity to shop Disney Store whenever and wherever through DisneyStore.com and the Disney Store app where they’ll find great deals on exclusive Disney, Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars items for everyone on their list.

Disney Store Holiday Story

This season, Disney Store has developed a combination of new in-store events and festive cheer designed to create an even more memorable shopping experience for Guests.

In addition to a holiday version of the traditional store “unlocking” ceremony that takes place every morning at Disney Store, Guests will be treated to an in-store event called “Disney Store Holiday Wishes.” During this new holiday tradition, a Cast Member will read from a holiday storybook while children follow along with their very own version of the book. The mini storybook will include a detachable picture frame that can be decorated and given to someone special. At the end of the event, with the help of Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse appearing on the Disney Store theater screen, each child will have the opportunity to make a holiday wish by throwing a special coin into a wishing well.

“Disney Store Holiday Wishes” will take place daily from Magical Friday (11/27) through Christmas Eve (Mondays – Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 5 p.m.).

Most Wished for Gifts

Disney Store offers the biggest collection of exclusive toys, apparel, accessories and more featuring everyone’s favorite Disney, Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars characters at all price ranges. To help make the holiday shopping season easier, starting on Tuesday, Dec. 1, Disney Store will unveil its “12 Most Wished for Gifts” on DisneyStore.com/12Gifts and on the Disney Store Instagram page.

For shopping assistance, Guests can interact with Disney Store’s Guest Services team via telephone and email channels listed on DisneyStore.com.

Brookside fans are known to express their love of Brookside –the brand known for its soft fruit flavored centers, covered in smooth dark chocolate—in hyperbolic ways. Describing it as “The Answer to Life” (@sweetbrunette96) or even “The best snack this side of the galaxy” (@luanmaiej20) Brookside fans are not at a loss for words when it comes to these “Amazeballs” or “Devil in a bag” chocolates. Their comments have powered the brand’s recent ad campaign. Today, Brookside brings one brand fan’s wish to life, and gives consumers nationwide the chance to further indulge in their love of Brookside Chocolates via 100lbsofBrookside.com.

“Why is this bag only two pounds? Aargh…. They’re rich and smooth and velvety…..”

Brand fan, Christopher B.

Taking a cue from Christopher B., Brookside created the brand’s first and only 100 lb. Bag of BROOKSIDE Chocolate*, chronicling its epic journey by video to the front door of Christopher B.  View the expedition of a lifetime here on YouTube as “George” lugs 100 lbs. of Brookside through treacherous terrain to Christopher B.’s door!*

Now, in the spirit of his comment, the brand launched the #100lbsofBROOKSIDE sweepstakes enabling all fans the chance to grab up their own 100lbs of Brookside Chocolates. Through November 22, 2015, Brookside is asking fans to tell them what they would do to receive 100 lbs. of Brookside Chocolates to share with family and friends.  Visit www.100lbsofbrookside.com for full details.

Brookside will deliver – in total – nearly one ton of “The best slash worst thing that’s ever happened to me.” (@JenniferVills) chocolates to lucky fans over the course of three weeks. Each day of the sweepstakes, three entrants will be randomly selected to receive a 2lb bag of Brookside Chocolates. Each week, five grand prize winners will receive 100lbs of assortedBrookside Chocolates.

*Dramatization.  Not actual weight.  Chris B. received 100 lbs. of assorted Brookside Chocolates.
