The effort also includes a social media contest conducted via the brand's Facebook page. Randomly-selected contest winners will receive access to the rink to watch a performance, as well as a Ferris wheel ride, skate rentals, food and branded merchandise.
"This partnership with is part of a larger festive campaign to celebrate our 100th anniversary," said Stéphane Renauld, director of brand management at parent company Keurig Canada.
