The holiday season Down Under is a little weird. Well, itโ€™s not weird for them; theyโ€™re used to it being summer in December. But even for me a Texanโ€”living in a place where any winter day could still be hotter than Melbourne that same day, where it is summerโ€”knowing that a white Christmas will forever remain in dream status for my Australian kin doesnโ€™t exactly put me in the holiday spirit. Luckily, the folks over at Five Senses Coffee are here to imbue a little Yuletide cheer, seasonality be damned! Theyโ€™re giving away a single-group Synesso MP Hydra, and if thatโ€™s not enough for you heart to grow three sizes, then youโ€™re dead inside (and probably outside too).

Itโ€™s part of Five Senses Sunshine, Surf, and Synesso giveaway, and entering couldnโ€™t be easier. All you have to do it buy something, anything, from their online store. And the more times you buy, the more times your name is put in the drawing. Buying a cupping spoon on Monday? Thatโ€™s an entry. Buying a six-pack of their cascara saison collab with Black Brewing Co on Tuesday? Thatโ€™s an entry. Picking up a Five Senses crewneck sweatshirt on Thursday? Thatโ€™s an entry. Referring a friend online who then makes their first purchase any day of the week? Oh you better believe thatโ€™s an entry.

Along with the Hydra, the winner of the Sunshine, Surf, and Synesso contest will also receive โ€œstandard dual cartridge water filtration,โ€ delivery, and installation, totaling over $15,000 AUD ($12,000+ USD). Sorry non-Australians, this contest is limited only to those on the island.

All orders made until 10:00am WST December 22nd will be receive an entry for the drawing. The winner will then be announced on Monday, December 25th, a day I can but assume was chosen arbitrarily, holding no cultural significance whatsoever. Itโ€™s a something-something miracle!
