Fab Freebie: Colorful Alternatives to a White Christmas

[ad_1]

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***

We often imagine a picture-perfect white Christmas here in Virginia — a rare treat in these parts — and after this weekend’s unusual snowstorm, a snowy holiday suddenly seems possible. If nothing else, we might end up with that familiar half-melted, slightly grimy snow that lingers for days. Still, even when the landscape is gray and slushy, the holidays feel brighter when you bring color into your home.

This season, Glidden is helping add that color. As hinted at in last week’s giveaway by Sunny, Lacey, Travis and Nicole, the prize we’re offering is paint — one of our all-time favorite supplies for transforming rooms. Several winners will receive a voucher redeemable for a gallon of Glidden paint, in the color and finish they choose, so there’s plenty of opportunity to refresh a space or try a holiday-inspired palette.

We’ve used Glidden throughout our house for years and genuinely love their colors. From Gentle Tide in the bedroom and kitchen to Sand White in the living room and guest room, Glidden hues appear on nearly every wall of our home. When the brand updated its color line earlier this year, some longtime favorites didn’t carry over, but the new collection is extremely user-friendly: each swatch offers suggested complementary accents, and the revamped lineup makes it easy to build coordinated schemes. You can browse inspirational room photos and matching palettes in stores or on Glidden’s website, and test bottles with built-in brushes make trying a small sample mess-free and convenient. Those tester bottles are especially handy when you want to see how a color reads in your own light before committing to a full gallon.

Now, here are the giveaway details so you can enter:

  • PRIZE: Each winner will receive a voucher to be redeemed at their local Home Depot for one gallon of Glidden paint in any color and finish of their choice.
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “CAN ME”.
  • BONUS QUESTION: Tell us which colors are putting you in the holiday spirit this season. Are you drawn to the classic red and green pairing, exploring unconventional combinations like lavender and silver, or dreaming of a snowy white Christmas look?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, December 23rd at 8pm EST.
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: FIVE winners will be chosen.
  • PRIZE SHIPS: United States only.
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per email address. Winners will be selected at random and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

Whether you prefer bold, saturated hues or soft, neutral tones, a fresh gallon of paint can change the entire feel of a room. Holiday decorating doesn’t have to be limited to wreaths and ornaments: a new accent wall, a painted mantle, or a refreshed entryway color can set the tone for festive gatherings and cozy winter evenings. Paint can also be an inexpensive and high-impact way to stage your home for guests or simply make your everyday spaces feel new.

If you’re celebrating with traditional shades this year, consider layering textures and finishes — glossy trims, satin walls, and matte accents — to create depth and interest. For those who lean toward unexpected palettes, pairing a soft violet with metallic silvers or a deep teal with warm gold accents can evoke a modern, elegant holiday atmosphere. And if you’re chasing that classic white-Christmas aesthetic, choosing warm whites and off-whites for trim and walls will keep spaces feeling bright and inviting while avoiding any stark or clinical appearance.

We can’t wait to read your entries and hear about the color combinations that inspire you this season. Remember to type “CAN ME” when you enter and share your bonus answer about which shades are putting you in the holiday mood. Good luck to everyone who enters!
