Visit Chandler, the destination marketing organization for the City of Chandler, has launched the Choose Chandler Holiday Pass to encourage local shopping and activities during the holiday season. The free digital guide is available through January 5, 2026, and features a list of shops, eateries, and seasonal attractions in Chandler.

Community members can register for the pass at Choose Chandler and check in at participating businesses by scanning a QR code. Each check-in earns points that can be redeemed for entries into giveaways. According to Caly Stricker with Visit Chandler, “This pass is a fun, easy way to explore Chandler during the holiday season. Whether you’re knocking out your gift list or enjoying a holiday outing with family, choosing Chandler keeps your dollars local and supports small businesses within the community.”

The initiative also promotes the year-round Chandler Sips & Bites Pass, which offers deals and check-ins at local restaurants and beverage locations. Participants are encouraged to use both passes to enhance their holiday experience.

No app download is required for activation of the Holiday Pass. Points can be collected until January 5, 2026. Winners will be notified directly by Visit Chandler staff.
