TWIX has brought back Zombie Claus, and this time the undead Santa has $20,000 in cash prizes to hand out.
It’s part of Hallowmas, the candy brand’s Halloween-and-Christmas mashup. If your holiday decorating already involves both pumpkins and twinkle lights, there is finally a contest for that.
The 2026 TWIX Hallowmas Rewards Contest runs through November 8, with three prizes:
- Most Hallowmas Spirit: $5,000 and 100 TWIX bars.
- Best Zombie Claus Look-Alike: $5,000 and 100 TWIX bars.
- Grand prize: $10,000 and 200 TWIX bars.
Your entry is also considered for the grand prize
To enter, submit a photo or a video of up to 30 seconds through TWIX’s Hallowmas page. Pick either the holiday-spirit category or the Zombie Claus look-alike category. Eligible entries in both are automatically considered for the grand prize. Each person can win one prize.
Your submission needs to show your Hallowmas spirit and explain what “two is more than one” means to you.
The rules allow one entry per person. It’s open to eligible residents of the 50 U.S. states and Washington, D.C., age 18 and older. No purchase is necessary, and you don’t have to include TWIX in your entry or post it on social media.
This is a judged contest, so the holiday mashup, creativity and how you tell the story matter. AI-generated entries aren’t allowed. The rules also say the sponsor will own submitted entries, including their copyright, so read the full terms before sending yours.
Zombie Claus is heading to Brooklyn, too
According to Mars’ October 5 announcement, Zombie Claus will be in Williamsburg on October 31, bringing TWIX treats to people on the streets. The brand directs fans to its social channels for more details.
New TWIX Skulls are also part of this year’s celebration, alongside returning Ghoulish Green and Fun Size candy. Find more seasonal releases in our 2026 Halloween food and treats guide.
