The holiday season is over and as always, it was all about giving and showing love to family and friends! People celebrated in different ways, and we chose to celebrate with our annual Christmas ritual to show our readers how much they’re loved and appreciated!
For the fourth year in a row, we joined forces with some of the most promising and established brands in the region to bring our readers their favorite “12 Days of Christmas”! If it’s your first Christmas following Scoop Empire, then let me enlighten you with what this is all about. During the 12 Days of Christmas, we ask different trivia questions on our social media platforms and our readers then answer and tag one of their friends. All those who guess the answers right, are then put into a draw where they randomly win the prize.
