Holiday dream job? Get paid $2,500 to watch Christmas movies
The gifts just arrived early for fans of the hokey holiday plot lines of Hallmark’s extensive Christmas movies series.
Those who live for the heartwarming holiday rom coms shown throughout — and well before — the holiday season could win $2,500 just for watching the movies made popular by Hallmark but now streamed on popular services like Netflix, Hulu and Disney+. Reviews.org has invited holiday movie watchers to binge 25 Christmas movies in 25 days for a chance to be named their “Chief Holiday Cheermeister” and earn $2,500.
Applications are open until Dec. 4 and those interested can apply here.
“Does the sound of jingle bells warm your heart? Have you always wanted a ticket to the Polar Express? Did you start celebrating Christmas on November 1 (or, let’s be real, probably before that)? If you’re the type of person who watches holiday movies year-round, we want to hire you,” reads a call out on the company’s site.
Participants can stream the sentimental cinema on seven streaming sites, including Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Amazon Prime, HBO Max, Apple TV+ and Hallmark Movies. The rules are to simply watch the movies and complete a short Reviews.org survey about them. The one person selected for the job will not only earn the cash but they’ll also received a one-year subscription to all of the aforementioned streaming services.
Here are a few other things to know about the contest:
