Dutch term or phrase:geluksmomentje
This is a marketing text full of marketing speak, featuring other Dutch gems such as:
- "Biedt een product of dienst echter een stukje ontzorging, service of een ***geluksmomentje*** dan is dat van waarde voor de consument."
- "Het ontbijtmoment claimen en groot maken."
- "Het uitnutten van het koffiemoment."
- "Pauze en/of genietmomentje verder invullen."
- "wegdroommomentjes"
It seems that I got all of the Dutch "momentjes" in one text, just my luck;)

All their 'momentjes' seem to refer to the concept of (what else is an 'ontbijtmoment' and 'koffiemoment' after all?). I would just leave the moment for what it is and translate each term individually as something that sounds good, but maybe someone can come up with something better. I mean, what does 'wegdroommomentje' mean for God's sake?
I do not envy you either. Good luck!

a little sparkle in the day, a fleeting moment of happiness, a red-letter moment, a silver lining...

Notes to answerer
Asker: Wow, thanks Willemina! I really like, "red-letter moment", and think I might use that here. I had actually never heard of that phrase yet;)
Asker: Hmm, I think I might go with "happy moment" in the end. My fiancee just informed me that a "red letter day" is more when something important/memorable/special happens in your life, like getting married, graduating, etc. But since my sentence reads, "Biedt een product of dienst echter een stukje ontzorging, service of een ***geluksmomentje*** dan is dat van waarde voor de consument.", I think simply using "happy moment" might be better here. Like e.g., 'I like to start every day with a happy moment by looking in the mirror and saying, "Hey, gorgeous"!'
