Want to have your products in the 2026 Holiday Market?

Thinking about participating as a seller or “vendor” in the Holiday Market? Please take a few minutes to read the steps below as well as some common questions and things you need to know.

Here are the steps to join!

Below are the steps you’ll need to take to have your business in the Holiday Market as a Prisma learner!

Step 1: Read through this page with a parent

Read through all of the information with one of your parents so you both understand what’s required to participate.

Key dates include:

  • Vendor support session - October 23, 2026 1:30 - 2:30 PM Eastern

  • Vendor application due October 28, 2026

  • The market kicks off on October 30 with a Holiday Market Launch Party!

Step 2: Get parent permission

You must have a parent’s permission to sell in the market.

Parents agree to:

  • help you choose the best prices for your items

  • help collect payments

  • make sure your website works properly

  • help with shipping items promptly after you receive payment

Step 3: Decide what you are selling

This is the fun part!

  • Choose things that you love to make!

  • Check the FAQs for items that aren’t allowed

  • Work with your parent to make sure you can sell your product at a profit (you don’t want to lose money!)

  • Think about the costs of materials and supplies, and the time you need to make each item

Step 4: Build your website!

You must submit a website link to participate.

You can use:

  • Wix

  • Google Sites

  • Squarespace

  • Etsy

  • Or another platform (as long as you build it!)

Keep it simple if you’d like — a Google Site works great!

Step 5: Complete your vendor application

 (MOST IMPORTANT STEP!)

You must fill out the vendor application form to save your spot.

👉 Application Deadline: 📅 October 28, 2026

If we do not receive your application by October 28, 2026, you will not be able to participate this year.

Step 6: Decide how to collect payment

Work with your parent to decide how you will handle payments.

Options include:

  • A website platform that collects payment for you

  • Venmo

  • Another method your family prefers

Parents should be involved in this decision.

Step 7: Plan for shipping

You must:

  • Decide how much it costs to ship your product

  • Charge buyers for shipping

Important shipping details:

  • Decide on where you are willing to ship

  • We recommend flat-rate USPS First Class shipping.

  • If your item is large or heavy, visit your local post office to estimate costs.

🚨 All orders must be shipped promptly after payment is received

International shipping is only allowed if your family already has experience handling it.

Step 8: Launch party!

On 📅 October 30, 2026 we will host our Holiday Market Launch Party!


At the launch party, you’ll:

  • Share your products

  • Talk about your business

  • Celebrate all the hard work you’ve done 🎉

  • Invite others to visit your website

Your website will go live for all Prisma families on October 30, 2026.

  • Note - the order in which shops appear on the site will be the order for presenters at the Holiday Market Launch Party

  • Countries which you are willing to ship to. Add language such as “ships from ___” or “shop located in ___”.

  • Vendors have the right to cancel an order if costs are prohibitive

  • Digital downloads supported

Shops will be organized into four areas - Americas, Canada, EMEA, and A&O regions

Frequently Asked Questions

What age learners can apply?

  • All learners in all grades are welcome to participate and have their own shop with their handmade or designed goods.

What are people selling in the market?

  • Get creative, have fun and make things you are excited about. From handmade knitted goods to hats, pottery, jewelry and more - the goal is to offer things for sale that you have made by hand or designed yourself.

What am I NOT allowed to sell?

  • You may not resell other people’s items.

  • You may not sell illegal or explicit items - they must be appropriate for a school sale.

  • You may not sell perishable or food items that will not reach your buyer in the time those goods would become perishable.

Do my items need to be holiday themed?

  • No they do not! You may use your creativity to create products you think people would like to buy. Think about some of your favorite personal gifts, birthday gifts - and come up with great ideas.

Can my parents help me make my products?

  • Yes! Parent support is welcome, appreciated and expected.

  • We do ask that learners are involved in the process - but we also anticipate that many parents will get involved in this “micro holiday business” and will play a vital and wonderful role in helping kids develop their exposure to entrepreneurial adventures as a family!

When does the market start ?

  • Starting on October 30th the Prisma Holiday Market will be open for our shoppers to click through to your site! You need to be fully ready to accept orders by this date.

Can I sell a digital product?

  • In short, yes!

  • Some ideas for digital download items are knitting/crochet/cross-stitch patterns or 3D printable patterns.

  • Other options are Printful, Printify, and Gelato for print-on-demand options that will ship physical items directly to buyers.

  • Another option is sharing tutorials or how-tos

Are there deadlines for shipping items?

  • If you are selling custom items for the holidays you should be able to ship those items in order for them to be received by those dates.

  • Otherwise, plan to ship items immediately after you receive payment.

How do I accept money for the items I sell?

  • Every learner and their parent will need to decide how they would like to accept payment.

  • Some learners may choose to use an existing platform like Squarespace, Shopify or Etsy to sell their goods.

  • We expect most learners to build a simple website with photos of their products along with a google form where families can submit their order.

  • We recommend families consider VENMO for charging other families and handling payments in a simple way like this if you don’t want to get complicated about things. VENMO is our preferred way for handling payment for those of you with simple sites.

How do we ship our items?

  • All items must be shipped via United States Postal Service First Class as a MINIMUM service level of shipping.

  • If you prefer to use UPS or FEDEX - that is also an option.

  • Shipping should be INCLUDED in the price of your product or detailed prior to checkout if you are doing it differently. Shipping should never be a separate charge that is a surprise to the buyer.

  • Please include tracking information to your buyer as possible.

Can I sell items with the Prisma logo?

  • Yes! Feel free to share your Prisma school spirit!

How will my shop be promoted?

  • You will have your first opportunity on October 30, 2026 to introduce yourself and your shop, share the story behind your creations, highlight what makes your business unique, and invite the community to explore and support your work.

  • Additionally, we will promote learner shops to the parent community.

Can we use our shops to donate to charity?

  • This is a lovely idea! Be sure to specify which charity and share more information about your chosen charity on your site.

Can we ship internationally?

  • The market will be organized into the USA and International shops. If you are a learner that lives outside of the USA - consider using a platform that creates digital goods you can print on and ship from within the USA if you want to be listed as a USA shipping eligible business.

  • Learners who have sites that reside outside of the USA will be listed in the “International” section of the site along with their country location.

Can we have more than one shop?

  • Yes! We love the entrepreurial spirit and variety of creative pursuits at Prisma! If you have a second shop selling in a different category, feel free to complete a separate vendor application form and we will include your shops on the website.

Can I sell my goods to people outside of Prisma?

  • Of course! This is your mini-business. The Prisma Holiday Market is simply a place for us to aggregate all of the sites of our learners to make it easier for Prisma families to purchase from and support each of our learner’s businesses.

  • You are welcome and encouraged to sell outside of the Prisma Community and to share our Prisma Holiday Market as well!

Will there be a zoom event?

  • Yes! We will host a Holiday Market Launch Party on October 30, 2026.

Where can we find the link to all of the shops?

Here’s to our upcoming Prisma Holiday Market and making wonderful things for our Prisma families! Best of luck as you craft and create and prepare for the market!
