New Year Sweepstakes 2027: Early Entry Deadlines to Watch
Enter early for New York and Nashville New Year trips before Nov. 20, Dec. 6 and Dec. 13 cutoffs.
Three New Year sweepstakes tied to 2027 celebrations have early entry cutoffs on Nov. 20, Dec. 6 and Dec.
13, 2026. A sweepstakes is a chance to win a prize, not a reserved trip or promised gift, so each cutoff decides trip eligibility. The gaps matter because two of these promotions continue after the trip-entry date passes.
Readers focused on New Year's Eve travel need the earlier date, not the final closing date.
Verification note: Program terms and availability can change. This page was checked against linked sources on November 13, 2026.
Why is November 20 the first cutoff to watch?
According to New York Marriott Marquis, its Countdown to 2027 giveaway offers a chance to win a Dec. 30, 2026-Jan. 1, 2027 two-night stay plus two Luxe and Lights New Year's Eve tickets, with entries due by 11:59 p.m.
EST Nov. 20, 2026 the Luxe and Lights giveaway page. That date and time zone control trip eligibility.
The timing is tight because today is Nov. 13, 2026. A reader who wants the Times Square stay and tickets needs to enter before the Nov.
20 cutoff, not later in the holiday season.
Why does December 6 matter for a December 31 promotion?
According to the Ferrero U.S. news announcement, the Raise A Rocher Holiday Sweepstakes runs through Dec. 31, 2026, but New York New Year's trip entries must arrive by Dec.
6, 2026 at 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern the Raise A Rocher holiday announcement. The trip cutoff is separate from the longer promotion window.
For trip seekers, Dec. 6 is the operative date. An entry received after that time misses the New York New Year's trip chance even while the broader sweepstakes continues.
What is the Nashville entry window?
According to Visit Nashville / Nashville Convention and Visitors Corp, the Jack Daniel's New Year's Eve giveaway runs from 8:00 a.m. CT Nov. 13, 2026 through 11:59 p.m.
CT Dec. 13, 2026, requiring receipt by Dec. 13 for a chance to ring in 2027 in Nashville the Nashville giveaway rules.
The window opens today. The one-month span gives more planning room than the November cutoff. Central Time controls both the opening and the closing moment, so check local conversion before entering near the deadline.
How do you handle three different time zones?
Early submission avoids last-hour clock errors and form problems. Submit Nashville entries before 11:59 p.m. CT Dec.
13.
