Britain’s favourite newspaper The Sun will be perking up Christmas with a festive giveaway that Yule be sorry to miss.

From this weekend readers across the UK can sign up to Sun Perks, an outstanding money-saving scheme that rewards loyal readers

For the next 10 weeks Sun readers will have the chance to fill their stockings with a range of fantastic free gifts for Christmas.

Readers will be able to collect tokens in the paper every day from Saturday 10 September to Friday 18 November.  The more points readers collect, the more free presents they can claim.

The amazing Christmas gifts will put smiles on the faces of all the family and include Love2Shop, Cineworld and Tesco vouchers as well as games, DVDs, CDs, books and of course a fantastic Christmas turkey worth £10 from Iceland.

The offer will be promoted with a new TV, radio and digital marketing campaign which features the Sun Perks character Perky the Turkey. The advert marks the first time The Sun has turned its ‘hand’ to the world of puppetry.
