One of my favorite holiday traditions? Grocery shopping for Thanksgiving with my mom and sister. 

It might sound simple, but it’s become such a special part of our year. We turn a routine trip into a little fun, catching up on life, reminiscing about past holidays, and joking around in the aisles. 

There’s something about those moments together that really grounds me, a reminder of what the season is all about. 

This year, H-E-B sold these adorable Santa hats, and suddenly, the grocery store felt more festive than ever. 

What’s interesting is how H-E-B used branding here, without even putting a logo on the hat. The hat itself captures the spirit of H-E-B and Christmas all in one. Anyone who buys the hat, takes a photo in their store, and posts it on social media is promoting the H-E-B brand naturally, without even realizing it. 

When we saw them on the shelf, we put our hats on right away and couldn’t stop smiling and giggling. It was like a little reminder that the holidays are about joy, connection, and having fun with the people we love. We also got a lot of smiles and compliments from other shoppers who asked where they could find the cute hats! 🤠

So, whether it’s shopping with family, decorating your home, or just taking a moment to breathe and enjoy the season, I hope everyone finds time to cherish those small, meaningful moments. 

What are your favorite traditions that make this time of year special? 

And hey, maybe a simple Santa hat will be part of your tradition too, spreading cheer and maybe a little brand magic along the way. Want to put your brand on a festive hat? DM me to find out how!
