The festive season is the perfect time to create memorable moments, whether you're organising a retail event for your brand or planning a public Christmas celebration.
At Spur Creative, we've spent years crafting bespoke props that bring a touch of magic to seasonal events. With our expertise and creativity, we’re here to help you make your Christmas event truly unforgettable. Here are 10 Christmas prop ideas to inspire your festive celebrations.
1. Statement Christmas Trees
Take inspiration from our Virgin Atlantic Christmas Tree project, where we designed a showstopping tree that embodied the brand's bold identity. A statement Christmas tree can act as the centrepiece of your event, combining traditional elements with unique materials, shapes or lighting to create something entirely bespoke.
2. Oversized Decorations
We love giant props! Giant baubles, candy canes, and stars can transform any event into a festive wonderland. For instance, our Moët & Chandon Christmas decorations included oversized ornaments that exuded luxury and drew the eye. Perfect for creating photo-worthy moments.
3. Golden Glamour
Nothing says festive elegance like a touch of gold. Our giant gold bubbles for the Somerset House Christmas display in 2022 made a striking impact with their metallic finish. Incorporating gold accents into your props, whether it’s arches, ribbons or sculptures, can create a sophisticated and festive atmosphere.
4. Light-Up Festive Signage
Illuminate your message with glowing Christmas signage. Whether it’s a glowing “Merry Christmas” or your brand’s name surrounded by twinkling lights, custom signage adds warmth and charm to your event while reinforcing your brand identity.
5. Interactive Snow Scenes
Create a magical winter wonderland with artificial snow, frosted trees and interactive props. Think snowball photo booths or snow globe installations where guests can step inside for a unique festive experience.
6. Branded Christmas Installations
Make your event stand out with props that seamlessly integrate your brand. From logos to specific motifs, you can use any decoration element to wove your brand identity into the festivities. For example, our work for Moët & Chandon combined classic Christmas imagery with their iconic branding.
7. Giant Gift Boxes
Gift boxes aren’t just for wrapping presents. They can also be used as decorative props or functional installations. We can often see them in malls and high-end retail outlets. Imagine a giant present that doubles as a stage backdrop or photo booth. Add your brand colours for a customised touch.
8. Festive Arches and Entrances
Welcome your guests with a festive arch adorned with baubles, lights and garlands. These can be tailored to fit your event’s theme, creating a grand entrance that sets the tone for the celebrations.
9. Interactive Advent Calendars
Take inspiration from traditional advent calendars and turn them into larger-than-life props. Interactive advent displays allow guests to engage with your event, unveiling surprises, giveaways or promotional items behind each door.
10. Hanging Props and Ceiling Installations
Don’t forget to look up! Suspended decorations like Christmas trees, sparkling snowflakes, dangling stars or cascading garlands can fill your venue with festive charm. Even the most simple ceiling installations can create a magical atmosphere.
