Now’s the time to start your holiday shopping early with a little fun along the way. Everyone knows about the “Elf on The Shelf”. Well, World Market is taking the holiday tradition to the next level this year with its holiday scavenger hunt.
Bargain hunters always enjoy searching high and low for good deals. And, in this case, their detective skills can really pay off (literally!) at the popular retailer.

World Market is hosting a Golden Nutcracker Scavenger Hunt for some added joy and merriment while you shop.
From Nov. 1 to 26, 2025, World Market is hiding four Golden Nutcrackers twice per day throughout the store at participating locations. That means there are a total of eight winners every day at every store.
Find a Golden Nutcracker game piece somewhere in the store and exchange it for a reward coupon worth $20, $50 or $100.
The scavenger hunt runs twice daily:
Hours vary by location, so double-check first.
Scavenger Hunt #1: Store opening* to 3 p.m.
Scavenger Hunt #2: 4 p.m. to store closing
*Most locations open at 10 a.m. from Sunday to Friday and 9 a.m. on Saturday.
The reward is only valid on the day it is awarded. The reward cannot be redeemed online — in-store only. You won’t know what your Golden Nutcracker is worth until you turn it in with one of the employees.
IMPORTANT: Limit one reward per person throughout the duration of the promotion, regardless of the location visited. Once you’ve found a Golden Nutcracker, you cannot win again at any location for the remainder of the promotion.
Plus, you must be 18 years or older to participate.
Need a clue? Each day, World Market will share a daily clue on the Golden Nutcracker sign at the front of the store, as well as online here. Use the clue to help you find a Golden Nutcracker game piece in the store.
PRO TIP: The giveaway is very popular, so all of the Golden Nutcrackers are often found very quickly — usually within the first 20 to 30 minutes. Look for the display sign at the front of the store for updates on when each Golden Nutcracker is found, so you’re not wasting your time wandering around looking for game pieces that have already been found.
