CHRISTMAS MARKET 2026
A seasonal feature by COCOLILY & CO.
The Christmas Market is a seasonal editorial feature presented within the Christmas edition of COCOLILY Magazine.
This is not a single listing or social post that disappears. It is a magazine-led experience where brands are introduced through editorial storytelling, inviting attention, appreciation, and discovery.
This feature sits within the seasonal publishing calendar and sits apart from year round Collective membership.
Visibility & Editorial Reach.
A seasonal presentation that brings together magazine, digital publication, and social features within the Christmas edition. Not a listing, not a single feature, and not a one-time post, but a complete editorial experience.
✓ Designed to introduce your brand to new customers and clients through print and digital placement.
✓ Presented within a magazine-led format designed for discovery rather than scrolling.
✓ Featured across print, digital, and social, allowing visibility across multiple touchpoints throughout the season.
✓ Readers are directed to your website or shop, allowing them to explore, purchase, book, or place orders directly with you.
