On Thursday, Uber teamed up with Macauley Culkin, best known for his starring role in the holiday classic “Home Alone,” to announce “Uber Carolers,” a campaign launching alongside spirits conglomerate Diageo.

Uber Carolers will be available on demand in New York City, Los Angeles, Dallas, Miami and Washington, D.C., exclusively this Saturday. According to Uber, users will have the option to order a “troupe of talented carolers” to arrive at their homes, offices or holiday parties to deliver cheer and festive spirits.

If you live in one of the participating cities, you can navigate to the “Carolers” store in your Uber app this Saturday and request the experience. If you’re connected, carolers will arrive and sing holiday 20 holiday songs as well as deliver a bottle of your choice of Diageo spirit — Don Julio, Casamigos, Bulleit Bourbon or the nonalcoholic Ritual Zero Proof — along with a festive gift basket.

Purchasers of a caroler package must be 21 or older and be present with a valid photo ID.

Uber Holiday Hub

Uber also announced its “Holiday Hub,” which is accessible in the app through Dec. 25. To find it, click the “gingerbread” icon in the Uber Eats app. According to Uber, you’ll be able to browse a “curated selection your loved ones will adore.” Options include Allbirds sneakers, L’Occitane skincare products and Cuyana leather bags. When you purchase a gift, you can have it delivered in minutes to your recipient, and you’ll even have the option to record a video message to accompany your delivery.

You can even order a Christmas tree or other holiday home decor, like wreaths and poinsettias, from the Holiday Hub.

Culkin is getting in on the Holiday Hub; you’ll be able to find his gifting picks within the app shortly. After Dec. 25, the Holiday Hub will transition into the New Years Eve Hub.
