El Holiday Digeez Snow Globe is an easy way for Cox customers and fans to share a fun and creative holiday greeting with friends, family and business colleagues.

"Supporting local communities is part of the DNA at Cox," said Adam Naide, executive director social media. "Not only is this promotion spreading holiday cheer within online and local Cox communities, but our partnership with the BGCA is also using the power of social media to raise critically needed funds for Boys & Girls Clubs."
