December holidays
The December holiday campaign is structurally different from Black Friday: instead of a deep weekend spike, DoorDash runs a shallower flat credit across a much longer window. The recurring shape is $15 off a $30 subtotal, live for several weeks.
The reason is demand. December delivery volume is high anyway — office parties, family gatherings, people avoiding the shops — so DoorDash does not need a deep discount to drive orders. It needs a persistent nudge.
Gift card promotions also peak in this window, and Gift Card Plus bonus-credit offers are at their most generous in December.

The December campaign is usually $10 to $15 off a $30 minimum, running for weeks rather than days.
Gift Card Plus and retail gift card promotions peak in December. Credit bought now spends all year.
Dasher supply tightens sharply around Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, and delivery times run long.
Restaurant availability is minimal. Convenience and DashMart are the reliable options.
Background
The holiday campaign is the most predictable on DoorDash's calendar, and it behaves like a seasonal baseline rather than an event. Most years it opens in the last week of November, runs through to the first days of January, and carries a flat credit in the $10 to $15 range.
Delivery logistics change materially in this window. Dasher availability tightens around Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, restaurant hours are irregular, and delivery times run long. A discount does not compensate for a two-hour wait, so ordering earlier in the evening matters more than usual.
Christmas Day itself has very limited restaurant availability. The storefronts that do open are typically convenience, DashMart and a small number of chains, and promotional activity that day is minimal because supply rather than demand is the constraint.
Gift card activity is the other half of the holiday picture. Bonus-credit offers, retail gift card promotions and warehouse club discounts all cluster here, and buying credit at a discount in December to spend through the year is a legitimate strategy.
New Year's Eve behaves like its own mini-event: high demand, surge pricing, and frequently a short-window promotion aimed at the late-night order.
Each DoorDash discount code on the main list carries its own cap, minimum and last-checked date.
Questions
The questions people actually ask, answered with the mechanism rather than a guess.
Still stuck? The troubleshooting guide is organised by the exact error DoorDash shows you.
The recurring December campaign is a flat credit, typically $15 off a $30 subtotal, running from late November into early January. It is shallower than Black Friday but lasts far longer.
The platform operates, but restaurant availability is very limited. Convenience stores, DashMart and a small number of chains are usually the only options, and Dasher supply is tight.
This is the peak window for it. Gift Card Plus bonus-credit offers and third-party retail gift card promotions both cluster in December.
The main campaign usually runs through it, and short-window New Year's Eve promotions sometimes run alongside. Surge pricing on the night can offset a modest discount.
