Christmas 2025

This Christmas, we’re excited to launch not one, but two festive campaigns designed to boost footfall, support our brilliant independent businesses, and bring even more cheer to Stockton Town Centre.

Stockton’s Secret Santa

In the run-up to Christmas, most workplaces embrace Secret Santa. This year, we’re encouraging businesses across Stockton to set up your Secret Santa and pledge to shop small and local this Christmas. The idea is simple: gift something unique from a Stockton town centre business, with a £10 Secret Santa limit to keep it fun, affordable and inclusive.

By choosing gifts from our fantastic high street businesses, you’ll be helping to keep money in our community, support local jobs, and champion the high street during the busiest season of the year. Whether it’s a thoughtful handmade present or a quirky find from a local favourite, your Secret Santa gift can make a big difference.

Pledge to shop small and local this Christmas, email Lisa@StocktonBID.co.uk to be featured in our campaign posts.

Shop Small, Win Big

We’ve teamed up with some of Stockton’s best-loved independent retailers to bring you an incredible Christmas prize bundle worth £230, and one lucky shopper will win it all!

Here’s how to take part:
Pick up a stamp card from any participating retailer, collect one stamp for every £5 you spend, and once your card is full, return it to any participating store by 19th December. The winner will be contacted the same day, just in time to enjoy an extra treat before Christmas.

T&Cs: Spend £5 or more in participating businesses to earn one stamp per transaction. Collect six stamps and hand in your completed card at any participating business to enter the prize draw. The winner will be chosen at random on 19/12/2025. Prize value is based on RRP. By entering, you agree to publicity and photography. Data will be used solely for prize administration and handled in accordance with GDPR.
