What is Christmas to you? Share it with us and you can win a wonderful trip to Vienna, so you can visit the Christmas markets, of course!

Christmas is getting closer, and we all celebrate it in our own way: some just can't wait for it to arrive, some are worried about getting all the presents sorted, some just can't stand it, and others love to spend it with their family ... or make the most of the days off and go on a trip away!

Whatever your Christmas spirit is, HostelsClub wants to know! And for this reason, we've launched the #XmasTravelSpirit competition.

Taking part is really easy:

- Post a photo or video on Instagram and Facebook in which we can admire your true Christmas Spirit

- Use the hashtag #XmasTravelSpirit and tag us using @hostelsclub

Any content posted by the 26th of November 2018 will be examined by a panel of judges at HostelsClub who will vote on your creativity as well as the engagement of your posts (number of comments, shares and likes), a winner will be chosen based on this criteria.

The prize? It's going to be amazing! We're putting weekend in Vienna up for grabs between the 21st and the 23rd of December 2018: 2 nights in a double room (for 2 persons) in the excellent Hostel Hütteldorf! It's going to be a unique occasion to soak up the magical Viennese Christmas atmosphere, seeing as all the Christmas markets are being held on those dates!
