Holiday Heroes is a 4-week individual activity challenge that helps participants build habits around self-care, mindfulness, kindness, generosity, and connection.

The goal is to encourage simple, meaningful actions that support personal well-being and kindness toward others. Participants earn points by completing activities that help them pause, connect, give back, and create positive moments throughout the challenge.

Participants can earn points for activities such as self-care, meditation, mindfulness, volunteering, donating to charity, completing a random act of kindness, checking in with coworkers, and being present in the moment.

Holiday Heroes activities are logged through manual entry in the IncentFit app or web platform. This makes it easy for participants to record self-care, mindfulness, kindness, volunteering, charitable giving, and connection-based actions.

Holiday Heroes is an individual challenge. Participants work toward their own total point count, with progress reflected on an individual leaderboard.

The winner is determined by the highest total point count at the end of the challenge. Points come from eligible self-care, mindfulness, kindness, volunteering, donation, and connection activities completed during the 4 weeks.

Most Holiday Heroes Challenges can be configured and ready to launch within 1–2 business days after challenge details are submitted. IncentFit handles setup, scoring, and leaderboard configuration.

Participants can usually join during a short grace period after the challenge begins. After that window, admins may be able to work with the IncentFit team to add participants if needed.

Very little ongoing admin work is needed after launch. IncentFit supports activity tracking, scoring, leaderboard updates, and reporting so admins do not have to manually manage participant progress.

This challenge is a strong fit for organizations that want to support well-being, generosity, and connection during a busy season. It works especially well for groups focused on self-care, mindfulness, volunteering, charitable giving, kindness, and meaningful workplace connection.
