A Small Holiday Moment We’re Really Proud Of Ocoopa Featured on Canadian National TV’s 2025 Christmas Gift Show
Winter has a way of reminding us what really matters — staying warm, staying outside a little longer, and sharing simple comforts with the people we care about.
This December, we had one of those moments that made our whole team pause, smile, and say: “Yep, this is why we do this.”
On December 5, 2025, Ocoopa Rechargeable Hand Warmers were featured on a national Christmas gift special on ICI Explora, a Canadian public television network. It’s a small moment in the grand scheme of things — but to us, it meant a lot.
A Show That Celebrates Useful Tech (Not Gimmicks)
The feature appeared on Planète Techno, a long-running technology show hosted by Jean-Michel Vanasse. For over 12 years, the show has focused on one simple idea:
technology should make everyday life better.
Every holiday season, their Christmas Special highlights gift ideas that are:
-
genuinely useful
-
thoughtfully designed
-
and built to last beyond the holidays
That mindset felt very familiar to us.
When the team reached out, they told us something that stuck:
Their viewers aren’t just looking for “cool gadgets” — they want products that actually work, especially in real Canadian winter conditions.
If you’ve ever stood outside on a freezing morning waiting for the bus, walked a dog in biting wind, or spent hours outdoors in the cold, you already understand why that matters.
Why Ocoopa Fit Right In
During the episode, our hand warmers were shown and explained on air — not as a novelty, but as a simple solution to a very real winter problem.
What resonated most with viewers:
-
Rechargeable warmth you can rely on
-
No disposable packets, no waste
-
Easy to carry, easy to use, easy to gift
In other words: warmth that fits into real life, whether you’re commuting, traveling, working outdoors, or just trying to stay comfortable on a cold day.
That’s always been the heart of Ocoopa.

Seeing Ocoopa included alongside other thoughtfully chosen holiday gifts — all selected for real-world usefulness — is something we’re genuinely proud of.
Why Moments Like This Matter to Us
This feature wasn’t about being flashy.
It was about being reliable, practical, and there when it’s cold.
From early mornings to long winter days, Ocoopa exists to bring a little extra warmth when you need it most. Seeing that mission recognized on national television — by people who care about quality — reminded us we’re on the right path.
Thank You for Being Part of the Journey
We want to send a heartfelt thank-you to Jean-Michel Vanasse and the entire Planète Techno team for including Ocoopa in their 2025 Christmas Special.
And to you — our customers, followers, and winter warriors — thank you for trusting us, sharing your stories, and bringing Ocoopa along on cold days.
We’re excited for what’s ahead, and we can’t wait to keep sharing warmth with you in 2026 and beyond.
Stay warm out there,
— The Ocoopa Team
