SKYY® Vodka Bundles up for the Holiday Season with Limited Edition Holidayy Sweater Bottle and “Let’s Holidayy” Campaign

A Series of Knitted Holiday Sweater Spectaculars and Events Bedeck New
York, Boston, San Francisco and Chicago

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–This winter, SKYY®
Vodka
, the American-made vodka steeped with the
progressive spirit of California, is wrapping itself up in everyone’s
favorite, festive fashion don’t – the ugly holiday sweater. Available
for a limited time during the holiday season, iconic cobalt blue SKYY
bottles will actually be wrapped in blue and white Fair Isle knit
sweaters, making them the ideal whimsical gift for party hosts and a
conversation piece at holiday parties nationwide.


The bottle is part of SKYY’s 360-degree marketing campaign, entitled
“Let’s Holidayy,” which offers a fresh take on existing holiday
traditions. SKYY will transform cities into festive, knitted wonderlands
from coast to coast this December with sweater bombing spectaculars. In
New York, a knitting needle armed crew, led by acclaimed artist Magda
Sayeg, will create large-scale pieces inspired by the limited edition
bottle live at Chelsea Market, which will remain on display for the
month. The sweaterific art installations will be seen at other iconic
Big Apple locations such as Union Square and the Meatpacking District as
well as on a fleet of roving knit-wrapped, vintage pickup trucks.

Beyond The Big Apple, SKYY will continue its knit takeover in other
major U.S. cities at ugly holiday sweater parties at on-premise accounts
and at influencer events complete with ugly sweater wearables and swag.
To the delight of bus riders in Boston and in downtown Chicago, bus
shelters will be wrapped in cobalt blue knitted graffiti, while transit
buses traversing San Francisco will be bundled up from the winter chill
while promoting responsible drinking.

“The SKYY brand possesses the innovative and progressive spirit of
California, where it was first created, so we’re always looking to
invent new experiences like “Let’s Holidayy” for our consumers,” says
Umberto Luchini, Vice President of Marketing at Campari America. “Ugly
sweaters have become a big pop culture trend, with people theming entire
parties around them, and vodka is the number one spirit consumed during
the holidays. It was a natural fit to combine the two.”

To keep with the holiday spirit, SKYY’s global ambassador Otis Florence
and DIY lifestyle experts Anne Sage of The City Sage and Ashley
McLaughlin of Edible Perspective, have developed a collection of
flavorful holiday cocktail recipes using SKYY Vodka, SKYY Infusions
Blood Orange and SKYY Infusions Coastal Cranberry that are sure to keep
the season cozy and bright!

To celebrate the launch of SKYY’s “Let’s Holidayy” campaign and the
first-of-its-kind, limited-edition SKYY Holidayy Sweater Bottle, the
award-winning vodka brand will host a New York City private launch event
with celebrated DJ entertainment and charity partner Broadway
Cares/Equity Fights AIDS… and of course, a lot of ugly holiday sweaters!

The SKYY Holidayy Sweater Bottle is 80 proof and will be available for a
limited time at liquor stores in November and December nationwide for a
suggested retail price of $18.99 for 750 ml. For more information, visit http://www.facebook.com/SKYYVodka

many things that originate in San Francisco, SKYY grew from a tiny
startup into what it is today—the leading domestic premium vodka in the
