Countdown to Christmas 2026 · Contributor Program

Join Countdown to Christmas 2026

Share a helpful holiday resource. Grow your email list. Make the season easier for families.

Participation is free. Contribute one useful holiday resource, share Countdown to Christmas twice, and connect with new subscribers who are looking for help this holiday season.

A Simple Way to Grow Your List This Holiday Season

Countdown to Christmas is Wondermom Wannabe’s December collection of helpful holiday resources for families.

Readers get one convenient place to find useful resources for the season. Contributors get introduced to new readers who can sign up for their resources directly on their own websites.

If you’ve participated in one of our previous collaborations, the format will feel familiar. We’ve kept this one simple: one holiday resource, two promotional shares, and you’re in.

How It Works for Contributors

1

Apply

Complete the short contributor application with information about you and your holiday resource.

2

Contribute

Provide one useful holiday-related resource hosted on a landing page you control.

3

Promote

Share Countdown to Christmas at least twice during the promotional period. At least one share must be an email or prominent newsletter mention.

4

Grow

Readers visit your landing page to sign up for your resource, helping you add interested subscribers to your own email list.

For Readers

Readers sign up for Countdown to Christmas and get access to the collection of holiday resources from participating creators.

When they find something they want, they visit that contributor’s website and sign up directly for the resource.

That means the subscriber relationship belongs to you.

What You’ll Contribute

  • Submit one useful, holiday-related resource that families will genuinely appreciate during the Christmas season.
  • Your contribution might be a printable, checklist, planner, activity, guide, recipe resource, or another helpful holiday opt-in.
  • Your resource should be hosted on a landing page you control so readers can sign up directly with you.
  • You’ll also provide a square graphic or mockup that clearly represents your resource. We’ll use this image when featuring your contribution in Countdown to Christmas.
  • Your resource does not need to be exclusive to Countdown to Christmas. It’s perfectly fine if you already offer it to your own audience.

Your Promotion Commitment

To make the collaboration valuable for everyone, each contributor agrees to share Countdown to Christmas at least two times during the promotional period.

At least one of those shares must be an email or prominent newsletter mention.

Wondermom will provide ready-to-use promotional copy to make sharing quick and simple.
