12 Days of Giving on The Drive
A Neighbourhood Tradition of Joy & Local Love
On Commercial Drive, where the holidays glow a little brighter and neighbours gather a little closer, something festive is brewing. This season, The Drive is unwrapping a community tradition that brings joy, generosity, and a whole lot of local love: our annual 12 Days of Giving, kicking off December 1.
Daily Giveaways — Local Love
This year’s celebration captures the spirit of whimsy and warmth. For 12 days straight, we’ll be sharing daily giveaways from the local East Van shops and restaurants you know and love, each one a small-but-mighty reminder of what makes this neighbourhood special.
A Season of Surprises — Drive-Style
From thoughtful gifts to tasty treats and delicious eats, every giveaway reflects the charm of shopping local on The Drive. Each day is a new surprise — something magical, unique, or delicious — all sourced from right here in the neighbourhood.
And while we’re keeping the participating businesses under wraps until each day is revealed, you can trust that every prize is rooted in the same thing: supporting the incredible local merchants who make Commercial Drive vibrant year-round.
12 Days of Giving starts December 1
Follow @commerciald on Instagram to catch each day’s reveal. Each giveaway runs for the full 12 days — so you don’t have to worry if you miss a day.
Whether you’re here for the goodies, the fun, or the festive neighbourhood vibes, this is your invitation to celebrate the season with us.
