The holiday season is right around the corner, which means it’s time for holiday decorating. If you manage a public space, you might need a little more than a few string lights – you need a commercial holiday display!
Maybe you need a display for a mall, park, event space, or business improvement area. Either way, Classic Displays has something to suit the needs of your public space. Giant Christmas decorations or interactive holiday displays, we got you.
So, shall we guide you through a little holiday shopping? Let’s explore some of our options and find out what’s going to work best for you.
When it comes to parks and venues, you need to choose products that are going to be suitable for outdoor use and that can accommodate large crowds. The pieces need to be eye-catching as well as durable and should blend into the natural environment.
Here are some super popular and effective options to consider:
Illuminated Pathways
OK, we made a joke about string lights earlier, but they’re excellent for creating an amazing display. String lights, LED displays, and even themed arches can create a truly stunning atmosphere. They’re perfect for visitors walking through parks or venue grounds!
Tree Wraps and Canopies
Wrapping trees with lights or creating a beautiful canopy of glittering lights over walkways or open areas can really amplify a space’s warmth and holiday festivity. LED lights are very energy-efficient, and they’re weather resistant while also coming in a variety of colours. This makes them perfect for outdoor use.
Interactive Light Installations
Interaction really gets the community excited. These can include walk-through light tunnels (perfect for picture-taking), synchronized light shows, or displays where visitors can watch the change in colours or patterns.

2D and 3D Sculptures
There’s nothing more festive than large, themed sculptures (think reindeer, snowmen, or other holiday characters) placed around the park. You can illuminate these and complement them with other festive elements. They make great, eye-catching pieces that really add character to your holiday display.
Inflatables
Children almost always love weather-resistant inflatable figures – and venue managers like them, too! They’re generally easy to set up and come in a range of classic holiday symbols. They’re lighter-weight, so you have the option to move them or reposition them a lot easier than a larger, heavier display.
Giant Ornaments
Oversized ornaments or gift boxes placed strategically can serve as focal points and are great for photo opportunities! Great for the aspiring influencer or family looking to capture sweet memories.
Want some examples of these holiday items? We have a few to consider:
Traditional Cage Trees
A towering, fully decorated Christmas tree can serve as a centerpiece for the entire park or venue! The only thing to consider is to use durable, weather-resistant ornaments and lighting to make sure it looks perfect throughout the season.
Illuminated Tree-Shaped Displays
Decorating a natural tree is awesome – but your park or venue may not have the means to do so. Or perhaps you want something a little different! You can also get tree-shaped, durable large outdoor Christmas decorations to be a focal point for the holiday season.

There are few public spaces more festive than your local mall, with all the stores having decor and the famous mall Santa complete with elves on display. Present wrapping stations speckle the mall halls, and you may even smell the delicious offerings of holiday treats from the food court and specialty shops.
If you plan on hosting some events (say a mock North Pole complete with elves and Santa) or a photo-op, you could use some commercial holiday decorations.
OR, maybe you have a corporate estate setting that you wish to spruce up for the holidays and you have ample space for flashy decor? But which ones would be the best for an indoor setting?
Grand Christmas Tree
A large, centrally located Christmas tree, fully decked-out, can serve as an essential focal point for a mall or corporate estate. You can accompany this tree with additional decorations such as a holiday-themed backdrop to maximize photo opportunities.

Seasonal Installations
One of the most interactive approaches is to create immersive, themed areas, think of classics like “Winter Wonderland” or “Santas Workshop.” These can offer character figures and holiday themed props.
Hanging Decorations
Large ornaments, snowflakes, or stars suspended from the ceiling can create a festive atmosphere without taking up floor space. These are especially effective in areas with high ceilings or atriums.

LED Light Displays
Use LED lights to outline store windows, archways, or railings. Dynamic light shows or synchronized lighting with music can add a vibrant touch.
Illuminated Sculptures
Place lighted sculptures of holiday figures, such as reindeer, snowmen, or angels, around the mall. These can be made from energy-efficient materials and placed at key locations for maximum impact.
Themed Aisles
You can always decorate the main aisles or corridors with lights, garlands, wreaths and ribbons to really unify the primary display. Each section can even have a different theme, like Candy Cane Lane or Nutcracker Plaza! Make it fun and whimsical – people will be sure to remember.
Storefront Competitions
Encourage individual stores to participate in a holiday window decorating contest. This not only enhances the overall decor, but also engages the store owners and draws shoppers to different parts of the mall.
When it comes to municipalities and business improvement areas, you have a lot of scope to work with. It’s best to invest in an inviting and festive environment that draws in visitors, supports local businesses, and enhances community spirit overall.
Overhead String Lights
Suspend string lights across streets to create a canopy of lights. This can add a magical touch to evening shopping and draw attention to the area, which is sure to bring people in.
Themed Lamp Post Decor
Decorate streetlamps with holiday-themed banners, wreaths, or illuminated figures like stars, snowflakes, or candy canes.
Community Christmas Tree
A large, centrally located Christmas tree, adorned with lights and ornaments, can serve as a gathering point for the community. Again, you can have a natural tree or a fully decked-out, giant Christmas display!
Themed Installations
Create a central holiday installation, such as a Santa’s sleigh with reindeer or a giant snow globe – anything that gives you that classic holiday feel! This makes a great opportunity to take pictures.
Santa’s Grotto
Set up a Santa’s Grotto where families can meet Santa, take photos, and engage in holiday activities! This can be a significant draw, especially for families with children.
Holiday Craft Stations
Create spaces where visitors can make ornaments, decorate cookies, or write letters to Santa. These activities foster community engagement and keep visitors entertained.
