Shopping Centers & Malls
Shopping center Christmas decorations do something e-commerce will never match β they give people a reason to show up, stay longer, and come back next year. Holiday Designsβ’ has been building shopping center Christmas decorations and full-campus holiday programs for malls and lifestyle centers since 1994.
Made in Gainesville, GA. We answer the phone. Quote in 24 hours.
Shopping center and mall managers know the pressure better than anyone. Online retail doesn’t close for Christmas. Big-box competitors don’t sleep. And your tenants are watching foot traffic numbers like a scoreboard.
A commercial holiday display program does something e-commerce will never be able to do β it creates an experience worth leaving the house for. A signature tree at center court. Pole mounts lining every parking aisle. A 3D photo op that families photograph every year and post to their social media. These are the things that build the kind of loyalty that outlasts any promotion or coupon code.
When shoppers think of Christmas, you want them thinking of your property. The ones that get that right β consistently, year after year β aren’t doing it by accident. They have a display program that grows with them.
Shopping center Christmas decorations that work β that drive traffic, keep tenants happy, and give your property an identity people remember. That’s what we build.
The best programs we’ve built for shopping centers and malls share the same structure. They create an experience from the moment a shopper pulls into the lot β not just once they’re inside.
Pole mounts and wrapped landscape trees throughout the parking lot that signal the holiday season before a shopper ever reaches the entrance. The experience starts at the car door.
A signature tower or panel tree, a walk-through arch, or a custom display at the main gathering point β the thing people come specifically to see and the backdrop for hundreds of family photos every season.
A 3D display or photo op β something dimensional, surprising, and worth stopping for. The thing that creates the Instagram post that tags your property in front of audiences you didn’t pay to reach.
From parking lot to center court, our shopping center Christmas decorations cover every part of your campus β mall christmas decorations, commercial christmas displays, and shopping center holiday decor β all manufactured in Gainesville, GA and built for multiple seasons of outdoor use.
Tower trees, panel trees, and RGB color-changing trees for center courts, main entrances, and outdoor plazas. Available from 12 feet to 40+ feet. Walk-through tunnels available for immersive center-court installations.
Snowflakes, wreaths, bells, and seasonal silhouettes that mount to your existing light poles. The most efficient way to give an entire parking campus a consistent, professional holiday look.
Giant ornaments, character figures, Santa sleighs, and dimensional display pieces that stop people in their tracks. This is where shopping centers and malls shine β see the dedicated section below.
Drive-through and walk-through arches for entrances, corridors, and signature moments. A lighted arch invites people into a space β to enter it, walk through it, and be part of it.
Animated characters, reindeer scenes, snowmen, and seasonal figures that bring plazas and outdoor areas to life β and give families a reason to slow down and linger.
Custom logo elements, branded display pieces, and one-of-a-kind fabricated displays built to your property’s specific identity. If you can describe it, we can build it.
Shopping center Christmas decorations serve a different purpose than municipal displays. Where a city wants a cohesive streetscape, a shopping center wants a moment β something dimensional, surprising, and worth stopping for.
Our fiberglass and 3D display line was built for exactly this. Giant ornament stacks. Oversized Santa figures. Character pieces. Dimensional snowmen and reindeer scenes that give families a reason to gather and take the photo. That photo gets posted. That post tags your center. That tag reaches people who haven’t visited yet β without you spending a dollar on advertising.
It’s the one category of commercial holiday decoration that works as free advertising every time someone uses it.
Giant Ornaments
Oversized stacks and single ornaments β the most-photographed display type in retail environments.
Character & Figure Displays
Santa, reindeer, snowmen, and more β fiberglass figures built for outdoor commercial use season after season.
Custom Branded Pieces
Logo elements, unique character designs, one-of-a-kind centerpieces built to your property’s brand identity.
Shopping center holiday programs have hard deadlines. The tree lighting event is on the calendar before Thanksgiving decorations are even up. We build our production schedules around your install date β not the other way around.
Whether you’re working with an in-house facilities crew, a contracted installer, or a combination, we build displays that are straightforward to set up and take down. Clear hardware, labeled components, consistent design β so your crew isn’t troubleshooting in a parking lot in November.
A display that fails mid-season isn’t just an operational headache β it’s a guest experience problem during your highest-traffic weeks of the year. We build for multiple seasons of outdoor commercial use, with powder-coated steel frames that hold up and components that are individually serviceable.
If your property is managed by a third-party company, we work within whatever purchasing and approval process that requires. Purchase orders accepted. New vendor setup packets back to you same day. We know how commercial property procurement works.
Call us during business hours and someone answers. Email us and you hear back the same day. In a business where November timelines leave no room for slow vendors, that matters more than it should β and it’s not as common as you’d expect.
We’ve built full-campus holiday programs β commercial holiday lighting, signature trees, 3D displays, and more β for some of the largest shopping properties in the country. Here’s one example of what that looks like in practice.
Holiday Designsβ’ supplied and installed a 40-foot tower tree with a walk-through tunnel as the property’s anchor display, fabricated custom logo pieces mounted directly to the tree, supplied pole mount displays throughout the parking campus, and wrapped over 110 landscape trees with mini lights β creating a property-wide holiday experience that draws thousands of Westchester County families each season.
Yes β custom fabrication is something we do regularly. If you have a specific design, a brand standard to work within, or an idea you want to bring to life, reach out and we’ll work through it with you. We’ll tell you honestly what’s achievable and what it takes.
Most of our displays are made to order. Standard catalog products average 4β6 weeks from order to shipment. Custom fabricated pieces average 6β8 weeks, depending on how long the design phase takes. We recommend starting the conversation by June and placing orders by August for a November installation. Tell us your timeline and we’ll tell you honestly what’s possible.
Yes β we offer installation services in select locations. Availability depends on your property’s location and timing. Contact us and we’ll let you know if we can support your installation needs.
Absolutely. We work with mixed programs all the time. We can match pole diameters, coordinate color palettes, and help new pieces integrate with your existing inventory. You don’t have to replace everything to improve your program.
It varies significantly based on property size, product mix, and whether you need installation. A single-anchor corridor program with pole mounts and a centerpiece tree might start in the low five figures. A full campus program is a larger capital investment. We don’t publish list prices because every property is different β request a quote and we’ll give you accurate numbers for your specific scope, fast.
Tell us about your property β the size, the layout, what you have now, and what you’re trying to create. We’ll ask the right questions and give you a quote that reflects your actual scope. No pressure, no overselling.
