One Stop has announced the return of its 'Christmas Wish' campaign for 2026, offering customers the chance to have their wish granted and to nominate a local charity, community group, or national cause to receive a £500 donation from the convenience retailer.
Following its introduction in 2025, this year's campaign runs from today (3 November) until Wednesday 23 December. Customers can submit their Christmas wish and charitable nomination through a simple online form, accessible by scanning a QR code found on shelf barkers in stores or via a dedicated Christmas card provided with in-store and online purchases.
Community Focus Expands
Nigel Prendergast, One Stop head of customer marketing and business support, said: “Last Christmas, our campaign drove fantastic customer engagement with over 8,000 customers submitted their ‘Christmas Wish’.”
“This year, we’re thrilled to be taking the campaign one step further, with a strong community focus,” he added. “Our stores and customers are truly embedded within their communities and we know how much their local organisations mean to them, so we’re proud to be helping spread some festive cheer by supporting causes that matter most to them.”
Gift Tag Initiative and Weekly Deals
Alongside the wish campaign, customers can pick up a designed bauble gift tag outlining an item needed to support a local group, chosen by the store team. Customers are asked to return the gift to store so colleagues can donate the items to the charity or local group.
Jack Taylor, community and partnerships manager at One Stop, commented: “Christmas is all about bringing people together, and this initiative gives customers a simple way to support local causes making a real difference in their communities. Every donation, no matter how small, can help make a difference.”
The campaign will also promote 12 weekly deals from brands such as Madri, Pepsi, and McVitie’s. Customers can access festive recipes, blogs, and information about One Stop's community celebrations on its website.
The deals include Madri Exceptional 440ml 10 pack at £11 (England only), Quality Street Matchmakers at £1, Diet Coke and Coca-Cola Zero Sugar 1.25 litre at £1, Pepsi Max 330ml 8 pack at 2 for £7, McVitie’s Victoria 490g at £3.50, Terry’s Chocolate Orange at £1.25, Cadbury Roses Tub 475g at £5, McVitie’s Family Circle 400g at £2, Fox’s Classic Biscuit Selection 500g at £3.50, Diet Coke and Coca-Cola Zero Sugar 330ml 24 pack at £9, Pepsi Max 330ml 8 pack at 2 for £7, and Dr Pepper and Fanta Orange 330ml 18 pack at £7.50.
