"The holidays are so important for small businesses, and in the wake of the pandemic, it's a particularly tough time to be in business in general. We also know that COVID-19 has disproportionately affected Black-owned businesses. This holiday showcase is designed to amplify Black business owners and drive sales to their websites," said Jennifer McCauley, Seagram's Escapes brand director. "We are thrilled to celebrate nearly 2,000 Black-owned businesses and bring attention to their great products and services through this program."

"I could not be more excited to help lead the Seagram's Escapes Holiday Marketplace. Not only are we lifting up incredible Black-owned businesses during a crucial selling time of a really tough year, but we're helping our friends and fans get their holiday shopping on too! These gifts are amazing, and I can't wait to share them with everyone!" said Cynthia Bailey.

"Seagram's Escapes Holiday Marketplace will highlight Black-owned businesses that don't always get the shine they deserve," said Eva Marcille. "I am so happy to take part in the program and to start sharing and shopping! Join us!"
