From Our Family to Yours: What We Love Most About the Holidays

At UV Skinz, the holidays have always meant more than just gifts and glitter. As a family-run brand, this season reminds us of the values that have guided us from the beginning: protecting what matters most, making time for the people we love, and finding joy in the simple moments.

To celebrate the season, we asked a few of our team members to share what they love most about the holidays. From fresh snow and twinkling lights to quiet family moments and childhood memories passed down to the next generation, these reflections remind us what really matters.

“My favorite part of the holiday season is the first good snowfall—when our family piles into the 4WD vehicles and hits the backroads for some off-road fun in the fresh snow.”
~ Erin, Customer Service Team Lead

“My favorite part of the holidays has to be the time spent with friends and family. From distant relative visits to friends-givings or even quiet evenings with my wife, it really is people that make the holidays so special.”
~ Chad, IS Manager

“I love the holiday season because it brings out such a strong sense of family and community. There’s something special about the way people come together, share what they have, and lead with generosity and selflessness. It reminds me of the good we’re capable of when we look out for one another.”
~ Gabi, eCommerce Coordinator

“The holidays are all about family for me—cooking together, relaxing into the season, and taking nighttime drives to see the lights. There’s a special kind of magic in it all, and I still wake up ridiculously early on Christmas morning with the same excitement I had as a kid.”
~ Jenna, Office Manager

“I love the happy energy, being around family, and all the Christmas lights this time of year.”
~ Caleb, National Sales Rep

“Christmas holds a special place in my heart. Even though the world around us doesn't always feel the same as it once did, I try to give the same feeling as I used to have growing up during the holidays. The atmosphere and feeling of the holidays is one of my favorite things - the warmth, the anticipation, and the magic that seems to fill the air. I even love the chaos.

It's the one time of the year that the entire family comes together to share in laughter, joy, and meaningful moments. Everything feels a little more magical. The season is a little colder, the cuddles come more easily and our traditions remain strong in our household, grounding us through all the chaos and excitement.

Nothing compares to sharing that magic with my kids. I also love giving gifts; the surprise, the joy, and the challenge of finding the perfect present for each person is something I look forward to every year. It’s a way of truly knowing someone, choosing something they’ll love, often before they even realize it themselves.

At the heart of it all, Christmas is about being together. Family is what truly makes the season special.”
~ Sarah, Production Coordinator

“My favorite part of the holidays is spending time with family. Even though I’m lucky enough to work with much of my family every day, there’s something different about the holidays. The music, the delicious food, the sense of generosity, and the overall good energy in the air make this time of year feel especially meaningful.”
~ Seth, Brand Manager

No matter how you celebrate, we hope this season brings you warmth, connection, and time with the people who matter most.

From our UV Skinz family to yours, thank you for being part of our journey—and for helping us spread a little sun-safe joy all year long.

Wishing you a happy, healthy holiday season.
