IKEA’s ‘No Empty Chairs at Christmas’ Campaign Helps You Share Holiday Cheer with Strangers

No one should have to spend Christmas alone. Luckily Ikea Switzerland agrees.

This year, the Switzerland branch of the popular furniture company launched a campaign called “No Empty Chairs at Christmas,” which allowed people to open their homes to strangers if they were spending Christmas alone or happened to have extra space at their Christmas tables. A Christmas hosting service, if you will.

Guests and hosts get matched up based on short personal profiles, and the rest of the arrangement is completely up to them, from who will ask the awkward relationship questions, to who might pass out on the couch after one too many eggnogs.

Assuming all goes well, it’s a simple, cute way to get into the spirit of the season. Let’s not think about what might happen otherwise.
