Candy Cane Cash 2025 at Stride Bank Center December 9th

Candy Cane Cash, Enid’s hometown holiday shopping promotion, is officially underway! For 22 years, the Greater Enid Chamber of Commerce and the Enid News & Eagle have teamed up to encourage local shopping and celebrate the holiday spirit right here at home.

This year, shoppers who shop the 39 participating merchants through December 8 will receive tickets for every $10 spent—each one a chance to win a share of $15,000 in cash prizes! Drawings will include cash prizes of $500, $500, $1,000, $1,000, $2,000, $2,500, and $7,500.

The festive finale will be held inside the Stride Bank Center, 301 South Independence, where participating merchants will showcase products and services around the arena floor. Enjoy holiday music and a visit with Storybook Santa, sponsored by Communications Federal Credit Union, as part of this Enid holiday tradition.

Candy Cane Cash is proudly sponsored by the Greater Enid Chamber of Commerce, Enid News & Eagle, Security National Bank, and the Enid Regional Development Alliance.

Shop local, support Enid businesses, and get ready to win big this holiday season!
