Here at KCL we let you know about all of the best Kohl's deals to help lighten the financial load of your holiday shopping, but Kohl's is going a step further. In December 2024, Kohl's introduced the "Your Cart, Our Treat" giveaway, in which four shoppers at each Kohl's store nationwide will have their entire haul paid for by the retailer. And it's happening on three separate dates: Dec. 7, Dec. 14, and Dec. 21.
Since this is the first year Kohl's is doing this promotion, you probably have questions ... and we have answers. Below we're diving into the where, the when, and the how of this Kohl's giveaway. Plus, we'll tell you how to get a free Kohl's Cash ornament.

Kohl's "Your Cart, Our Treat" promo will pay for winning shoppers' carts.
At every single Kohl's store in the U.S., four lucky shoppers will find out that whatever is in their cart is paid for by Kohl's when they're at checkout. You have to be 18 years or older to win, and an individual can only win this promotion once in 2024. There's no purchase necessary to win, though you'll likely be purchasing something if you're at Kohl's checkout with a cart full of stuff on one of the three designated giveaway days (Dec. 7, 14, and 21 — all Saturdays).
Head to your local Kohl's store on Dec. 14 or 21 for a chance to win.
The "Your Cart, Our Treat" giveaway is happening only on three Saturdays in December: Dec. 7, 14, and 21. And this isn't a first-come-first-served situation. The four winning carts will be chosen at random throughout each of the giveaway days. So there's no need to get to Kohl's right at opening time to win. Your chances will be the same as the person who went for brunch and then rolled up to Kohl's at 3 p.m.
On the Dec. 7 date, we were told that the cashiers are unaware who is getting selected until they ring everything up and ask for payment. The winner is not allowed to add new things to the order at that point.
Every Kohl's store in the U.S. is participating in this giveaway, with four winners per store.
This isn't one of those situations where only a handful of Kohl's carts in the entire country will get their bill paid by the retailer. It's four carts per store, per event day. Kohl's has more than 1,100 stores nationwide; that's a lot of carts and opportunities for people to win.
Nope, you can't win on Kohls.com — this is only in store.
We know, we know — we're online shoppers too, so it's kind of a bummer that you can't win a free haul online at Kohls.com. However, a little fresh air never hurt anyone, so we're willing to tear ourselves away from the Hallmark Channel for a brief period to head into Kohl's for some IRL shopping.
On Dec. 7 in store, shoppers could get a free Kohl's Cash ornament with purchase. This was Dec. 7 only and is not happening again.
While we all would really love to win a Kohl's cart haul, there was another freebie up for grabs on Dec. 7 in store — a free Kohl's Cash ornament (regularly $9.99) with a Kohl's purchase. You didn't have to be a Kohl's Rewards member to get the free ornament, though Rewards members probably appreciated the sentiment of Kohl's Cash on their Christmas tree a bit more than anyone else. Ornament supplies were limited.
There wasn't a dollar amount minimum you had to spend in order to get the free ornament.
You didn't have to spend a certain amount to get the Kohl's Cash ornament on Dec. 7; shoppers just had to make any purchase of some kind. However, the ornaments were not available at Sephora at Kohl's or Customer Service registers.
Don't try to return your free Kohl's Cash ornament for cash — they won't let you.
The free Kohl's Cash ornament they'll give you doesn't have any monetary value, so don't even think about trying to flip it with a return. Yes, they do sell a Kohl's Cash ornament in stores for $9.99, but the freebie is non-returnable.
