It’s December again: the time of the year to celebrate (no matter the holiday), relax, and be thankful.

We encourage you to lean into the festive spirit with a fun #SWDchallenge. This month we want you to celebrate your skills by creating a holiday greeting card that incorporates a data visualization.

For inspiration, we’ll point you to a past iteration of this challenge, in which Cole shared a holiday-themed combination chart.

Given my general hesitation for combo charts—the mentioned instance is totally fine—I've given our team greetings a quick refresh this year.

Now it’s your turn to bring on the cheer!

The challenge

Celebrate the holiday season by creating a data-driven holiday greeting card. Whatever you decide to visualize, the goal is to spread cheer, honor your data storytelling skills, and (most importantly) have a bit of fun!

Share your creation in the community by December 31th at 5PM PT. If there is any specific feedback or input that you would find helpful, include that detail in your commentary.

We are excited to see your creations and wish you a merry holiday season. May the coming year bring you constant joy, ever increasing happiness, and minimal stress!
