It’s hard to imagine the holidays are around the corner, and now you’ll have a chance to spend them in San Francisco with Mario and friends. Nintendo has announced the Nintendo San Francisco My Nintendo Holiday Sweepstakes, where My Nintendo members have a chance to win a trip to Nintendo San Francisco. Each entry costs 10 Platinum Points, and each member is limited to five entries. The prize package includes round-trip airfare and a two-night stay for one winner and up to three guests, as well as a personal tour of the Nintendo San Francisco store.
If you’re local to either Nintendo San Francisco, which opened earlier this year, or Nintendo New York, you can look forward to festive in-store experiences in mid-November. Both stores will transform into holiday destinations, boasting exclusive merchandise, seasonal fun, gift-with-purchase offers, special window displays, and more. It’ll start with the launch of the exclusive Winter Collection that includes attire and accessories, all with a Nintendo feel. From scarves and winter hats to oven mitts and recipe organizers, Nintendo is looking to decorate your household in more ways than one.

Visitors to either store can take advantage of seasonal offers, which include free holiday-themed gift wrap with purchases of $50 or more from December 6 to December 7. Those who spend $100 or more will receive a Nintendo holiday ornament featuring Mushroom Kingdom friends from December 13 to December 20. Also, starting in early December, guests can use the My Nintendo kiosk to check in and receive Platinum Points and a giveaway item, while supplies last. Nintendo New York will also host costumed character appearances from December 12 to December 14.
