Target’s Holiday Odyssey

This year, Target will introduce The Holiday Odyssey, a season-long tale
at the heart of the retailer’s holiday marketing campaign. It all starts
with a digital storybook—narrated by Neil Patrick Harris, star of the
stage and screen—and will come to life with moving pictures and digital
interactions for families to enjoy together. Available for free at
Target.com/adventure beginning Nov. 4, the story unfolds with three kids
and the Target mascot, Bullseye, embarking on a holiday quest. A cast of
characters from LEGO, Minions, Ninja Turtles, and more, join in on the
holiday journey that conveys the wonder and inspiration of the season.
Key moments from the story will be reflected in Target stores beginning
Nov. 1, and via advertising, including 12 broadcast spots, beginning
Nov. 4.

Target Wonderland

On Dec. 7, Target will unveil Target Wonderland, a 16,000 square foot
retail spectacle in New York’s Meatpacking District. Free and open to
the public beginning Dec. 9, Target Wonderland will be a playful and
kinetic environment meant to captivate adults and kids alike by bringing
elements of The Holiday Odyssey to life, such as the “S.S. Free
Shipping” LEGO ship from the broadcast ads. The experience will include
digitally-driven shopping, giving guests a peek at the future of retail,
imagined by Target.

Ways to Save and Top Products

In addition to a number of deep discounts each week, guests will find
many ways to save all season long.
