While most people are thinking about barbecues, beer gardens, and summer getaways, our team at Fizzco is already knee-deep in baubles, fairy lights, and festive planning. For us, Christmas doesn’t start in December, it starts months in advance, with one goal in mind: transforming everyday spaces into unforgettable festive experiences.

But what really goes into installing a Christmas display? Let’s take you behind the scenes of this seasonal transformation.

Planning the Perfect Display

Every display begins with a carefully crafted concept. Whether it’s a traditional winter wonderland, a sparkling iridescent dreamscape, or a bold, modern display, the design process is all about tailoring the experience to each unique location.

We consider everything from the layout of the venue and customer footfall patterns to the demographics of the visitors and any sustainability goals. Our aim? To deliver a magical, immersive experience that’s both visually stunning and commercially effective.

The Preparation Phase

Long before installations begin, our warehouse beams with action. Production is in full swing, lighting is tested, and every wreath, garland, and bauble is checked for quality. Custom-built structures are assembled, refurbished products are given new life, and all elements are meticulously packed for transportation.

We create detailed installation plans to make sure everything runs smoothly on-site, with safety, timing, and client specifications all front of mind.

Installing the Magic

Most installations take place overnight or outside of peak business hours to minimise disruption. Our team arrives on-site when the last shoppers have left, and the transformation begins.

It’s a coordinated effort involving ladders, scissor lifts, and a lot of teamwork. Motifs are suspended high above walkways, trees are dressed with thousands of lights, and photo opportunities like grottos or archways are brought to life piece by piece.

Depending on the scale of the display, installation can take a few hours or a few days. Regardless of the time, our team ensures every last detail is perfect before the first customer walks in.

Creating Shareable Moments

In today’s world, a successful Christmas display is as much about experience as it is about aesthetics. That’s why we design our installations with visual impact and interactivity in mind. From oversized selfie seats to dramatic centrepieces and light tunnels, we aim to create spaces that visitors can’t help but photograph and share.

This kind of user-generated content is a powerful tool for shopping centres and commercial spaces, driving footfall and social engagement throughout the season.

The Big Reveal

There’s nothing quite like seeing a venue come alive with the sparkle and joy of Christmas. The moment the lights are switched on and festive music begins to play is always special, no matter how many times we’ve done it.

It’s a proud moment for our team, and an exciting one for clients and customers alike.
