Don’t worry about buying all those movies yourself—we’ll be supplying our Chief of Cheer with some of the best streaming services on the market.

What will the Chief of Cheer get?

This year’s Chief of Cheer will get more prizes than we’ve ever offered before! As always, they’ll receive $2,500 and a year’s subscription to seven major ad-free streaming services.

But this year, our Chief of Cheer will also receive a year of DIRECTV Stream and a blanket from Minky Couture. We want to make sure they have everything they need for their movie marathon!

A year worth of these services
