Retail Christmas Window Displays

Historically, more than 80% of small business owners spend an average of $347 for their retail Christmas window displays—but this doesn’t mean you can’t make an impact with minimal spending. While some businesses might have bigger budgets, it is simply the ability to connect with passing shoppers that will ultimately determine your holiday sales success.

Here are a few tips when brainstorming your Christmas window display ideas:

• Make it festive, captivating, and engaging enough to lure shoppers to go into your store.
• Get creative to make it a display and promotion announcement at once, like using decals to announce sales.
• Repurpose past decorations. Don’t shy away from re-using old items, just revamp them according to your theme this year.

1. Leverage Digital Christmas Signage

Consider using digital displays. They’re not only visually attractive but easy to repurpose for any occasion. Furthermore, the influx of shoppers during the holiday rush can be overwhelming, even with the best point-of-sale (POS) system in your store. Digital in-store displays help reduce shopping fatigue and stress brought about by waiting in long lines at the cash register.

This digital display from Ted Baker’s London store seems like a simple strategy compared to other creative Christmas window displays out there. Adorned with Christmas garlands and lights, it completes the perfect festive look that lets you showcase ads to attract shoppers passing by.

2. Create Holiday Art With Chalk

Chalk art makes use of chalk to create visual images or decorative text. Usually seen in sidewalk art, the art form is often used in restaurants, shops, and walls.

Take a look at what a small stationery store in Brussels opted for—a simple Christmas display using chalk paint to add a wreath design to a see-through shop window. The handwritten text and warm lights inside the store complete the message, inviting shoppers to come inside. You can also use chalk to create a holiday-themed design for a sandwich board or on the sidewalk outside your storefront if the space is available.

Quick Tip: Consider your location. Knowing what the customer needs is key to making a sale, or in this case, convincing them to come into your store. In the example above, the owner understands that shoppers would be cold and tired, so using a Christmas window display to draw a crowd with the promise of comfort and warmth is both simple and effective.

3. Design With Frosted Windows

Another simple yet creative take on a winter scene is with frosted, see-through windows. The designer used the store view as a backdrop to come up with the right colors and accents for an attractive Christmas display.

Pufferbellies in Staunton, Vermont, hired a visual merchandiser to help create its Christmas window displays. It went with a full-on holiday theme, complete with handmade reindeer, buildings, and accents.

Quick Tip: Use the store window as your backdrop. Some displays can look deceptively hard or expensive to make, but the natural look of your store from the window can be the base of an elegant design. This featured display can be recreated using felted wool for snowball garlands, cardboard cones, and frosted glass spray paint you can find in any DIY store. We cover more tips on how to create eye-catching and customer-attracting window displays in our article about retail store window displays.

4. Use 3D Decoration

Use simple materials. A 3D backdrop is more eye-catching compared to a plain canvas, so be creative. Consider easily accessible items such as egg trays, broken CD pieces, or paper lanterns as alternatives. It will look great on its own or make other colorful elements, such as letter cutouts and products, pop out even more.

One interesting retail Christmas window display idea is using marshmallow garlands to create a three-dimensional white background for this store’s front window and to mimic the look of a snowy scene.

5. Outline Entrances With Garland Borders

Have leftover garlands? Place them elsewhere—add them to in-store signage and displays, create a border to the checkout area, or use them to line countertops. There are plenty of ways to get creative and festive with garland in your store.

This Watches of Switzerland store in London takes a minimal approach to its Christmas displays. It puts garland outside and around its windows, bordering whatever window displays are inside. This retail Christmas display idea is accessible to all budgets.

6. Employ Mascots or Characters

You just need one window and one character to make a holiday scene to lure shoppers to your store. Perhaps you even have a store mascot. Have it dressed up in festive attire, and add it to your Christmas window display.

The Selby Rocks Christmas window displays line London’s Regent Street every year. Foot traffic slowly passes by as holiday shoppers admire the displays and even stick around for a show.

7. Deck Out Your Entire Window or Cover Your Building Walls

You can go all-out and deck out your whole storefront wall or building in holiday banners, like the example shown below.

Jelmoli, a department store in Zurich, created holiday-themed banners to cover the majority of its windows and sides of the building.

However, don’t feel obligated to go all-out—you don’t have to cover the entirety of your windows and building. You can also create smaller banners and decorations to make this Christmas display idea more feasible, like the ones shown below.

8. Set Up a Winter Scene

Your products don’t have to be seasonal to fit into a holiday window display. You can also choose a winter theme, much like Anthropologie, to give the display a longer shelf life. Remember, Christmas retail displays can extend well into the new year and winter season!

You may not sell holiday-themed products, but you can place your products into holiday-themed scenes. In the example above from Anthropologie, the brand showcases just two mannequins in the brand’s clothing—the rest of the space is taken up by a festive holiday backdrop.

9. Repurpose Party or Event Decors

Repurposing existing on-hand decor is one of the practical and cost-effective Christmas display ideas retail stores should leverage. Check your warehouse, closets, and storage areas for all kinds of things that can be used as holiday ornaments.

Party decors such as these oversized disco balls look similar to holiday ornaments, and you can use them as such in your Christmas retail displays. You don’t even need a tree—or to hang them. The example above shows the disco balls creatively scattered around the floor to give a holiday vibe.

10. Use Window Decals for a Quick Holiday Display

Holiday-themed window decals are also a cost-effective way to get your window display into the Christmas mood. It is also easy to install and take down once the holidays have passed. With so many options for decals out there, you can even customize your own to mix holidays and your branding.

As seen from the example image, you can use window decals to decorate a whole side of your storefront window and have the same impact as displaying a full-blown merchandise display at a lesser expense.

Quick Tip: You can use decals to announce or promote holiday offerings like sales, exclusive items, BOGO deals, and more, like how the store used the decals below. It achieved two things at once: decorating for Christmas and announcing its sale.

In-store Christmas Display Ideas

Getting customers through the door is just half the battle. However, optimistically, holiday retail sales in 2023 grew 3.8% despite historic inflation and interest rate hikes.

When planning for in-store displays, consider both creativity and logistics. Try to step back and see the displays as a customer would. Take time during the daylight to stand in front of your store, then walk in the entrance to see things from the customer’s perspective.

Take pictures of problem areas in shop windows, displays, counters, walkways, lights, and walls and identify what needs to be corrected. Your displays should not hinder accessibility and easy navigation for customers—still make room for trolleys, strollers, and wheelchairs in your store layouts to guarantee a smooth flow of foot traffic.

11. Have Themed Product Displays

Work on a theme for your window and in-store display. This holiday shopping season, people are eager for a safe and exciting space that invites moments of surprise. While doing so, keep in mind that your product should remain the hero, so your overall design is in keeping with an effective point-of-purchase marketing strategy.

This brand designed its store around a theme and blended its featured items into the scene. The effects allowed the owners to display their inventory in mood lighting and background that best compliment the look and design of their products.

12. Create a Wall Christmas Tree

Remember that less is more. Use color themes close to your wall color, especially if you plan to decorate a blank wall. Also, consider using your white space to draw attention to an important message and express it with your wall Christmas tree. Don’t fill every ounce of space, as open spaces help you draw more attention if you want to feature a product or two.

This 2-D Christmas tree idea is a space-saving design where you can set up a Christmas tree on a blank wall if your store is not big enough for centerpiece decor—perfect for those small boutiques and pop-up stores. This is also a budget-friendly alternative to digital displays if you’d rather invest in upgrading your cash register to a POS system in time for the holiday shopping rush.

13. Use Gift Boxes for Your Christmas Display

One of the most used, yet still highly-favored and effective, Christmas display ideas for retail stores is displaying gift boxes, either in festive colors or in the shop’s brand colors.

Take the image above for example. Media Ace created 1,000 tartan boxes for Ralph Lauren’s in-store Christmas displays. The gift boxes were made in colors that reflected the brand’s theme and were used to give extra dimension and height to the featured product displays.

Quick Tip: You can place these near your checkouts to upgrade your POS display. The objective of getting customers into the store is to convince them to buy your products, so point-of-sale displays are a critical factor in their decision-making. Use colors and elements that give depth and height to create an attractive display.

14. Utilize Floor Space by Having Floor Decals

Short on walls or space? Don’t fret—utilize your floors!

Look at how the Dashing Group included floor decals in its Christmas display design for David Jones Australia. This strategy effectively completed the store’s POS display look, giving customers a more rounded visual experience. The font choice and design kept the style of the store’s brand both professional and elegant.

Quick Tip: Do a walk-through of your retail store layout. It doesn’t hurt to do a walk-through starting from the entrance, around the aisles, to the checkout counter once you’re done putting up your in-store Christmas displays. Let employees do the same and ask how they feel about the lighting, colors, and other elements as they move around the store. This helps you determine if you need to add more decorations, even them out, or dial back a notch or two.

15. Transform Traditional Christmas Trees Into Unique and Festive Holiday Trees

Christmas trees are great, but you can turn any tree into a festive holiday tree with a few simple touches, like snow, lights, and ornaments. This approach is great for customers from all backgrounds and religions. Rather than a Christmas tree, this tree isn’t tied to a specific holiday or event. Instead, it’s a festive representation of the season—a great way to make sure your customers don’t feel left out.

Anthropologie is known for its artistic and on-brand Christmas retail displays, and this example is no different. Retail designer Emily Barton created fake trees with oversized holiday pinecones to display the brand’s apparel in a creative and festive way.

16. Hang Your Products From Stringed Lights or a Tree

Again, repurposing comes into play here. If you purchase clear balls to display products, think of ways to repurpose them for your retail Christmas display ideas.

If they’re small enough, you can turn products into ornaments and decorations themselves. Instead of a string of lights, hang a string of lipsticks. Or, use baseballs and tennis balls as ornaments on your Christmas tree. You can also put products in clear balls and hang those as ornaments throughout your shop.

17. Get a Tree of Gift Cards

Gift cards are a great way to generate revenue and spread the word about your brand, especially during the holidays. Nearly half of American consumers have at least one unused gift card. And, while the goal is to get a new customer in the door to make their first purchase which will hopefully lead to many more, even if they never visit your shop, you still earn that revenue.

Arrange a nice holiday display of gift cards in the shape of a tree, star, or other holiday-themed figure. You can even hang them as ornaments or from stringed lights.

Quick Tip: When offering gift cards for your retail store, remember to check on your local laws and regulations. The federal government and some states have rules around how businesses treat gift cards and redemption. In many cases, for example, it’s prohibited to add an expiration date.

18. Make Your Holiday Display Cause-driven

Bring your cause close to home by choosing a local charity or effort. Understanding the priorities of your community will help you deliver a retail design experience that connects better with the emotional needs of your target customers. Promote a cause that customers will want to support.

Summertown Interiors used 314 plastic bottles to construct its Christmas tree. These were recycled from its September Water Drinking Wellness initiative to “Drink 2L of water a day” to spread awareness about the benefits of drinking enough water.

Exterior Retail Christmas Display Ideas

If you’re in an area with a lot of foot traffic, or on “High Street” as we say in the retail industry, there are ways to spruce up the area outside your space. This attracts more foot traffic outside of your store, which hopefully leads to more foot traffic in your store.

19. Hang Ornaments & Balls

You can also hang holiday balls in your store and around your storefront. Consider hanging some from any trees or light poles around your store.

20. Display Lots of Holiday Lights

Holiday lights are always a foolproof way to add a festive flair to any space—and outside your store is no different.

This example from Amsterdam shows holiday lights creating somewhat of an archway for passersby to walk under. You can also string lights across the street if you’re DIYing this Christmas holiday display idea.

Quick Tip: If you’re afraid of high utility bills or increasing your carbon footprint, opt for solar-powered lights. These work especially well in places that receive a lot of sunshine during the day.

Ecommerce Christmas Retail Displays

Don’t forget your online store! Ensure it is clear from your website that your brand is into celebrating the holiday season. But before you get your online store all dolled up, make sure it is also ready to handle the influx of traffic holiday shoppers will undoubtedly bring. Ensure your online store follows our recommended ecommerce website design principles and optimize your checkout pages for faster conversions.

21. Create a Sneak Peek for Your Holiday Collection

Create a large ad for your collection. For online shops that carry a wide variety of inventory, create a segment for your holiday collection and advertise it on your landing page. Make sure that your ad includes a great title and an engaging CTA and that it can redirect your visitors to your Christmas catalog page or your holiday retail gift guide.

Pottery Barn uses its landing page to showcase a teaser of its Christmas collection, complete with an intriguing header and a good-looking photo featuring its products. The image also takes its visitors directly to the section of its website where they can browse Christmas inventory and get more information on sales and promotions.

22. Feature a 2D Animated Display

Upgrade your Christmas banners by using animation. Use images that appeal to your website visitor’s emotions. Images that evoke the right emotion will help motivate shoppers to purchase from your store. Use your business brand to decide the best strategy to connect emotionally with your target customers.

Macy’s has long been promoting a cause to make kids’ wishes come true on Christmas. It included this campaign in its online store with a 2D Christmas display reminiscent of old-school, paper cutout, classic Christmas designs that connect immediately to one’s childhood. The image is also animated, which only boosts the website’s nostalgic appeal.

23. Have a Christmas Campaign Slogan

Use familiar Christmas carols on your campaign slogan. Many brands connect their sales series to a familiar Christmas carol because it’s easy to remember. Recall is an important factor to consider because you want to make it easy for shoppers to remember your online store even after they’ve visited other websites.

Amazon called its 2018 Christmas sales series “12 Days of Deals,” which is very easy to associate with a popular Christmas carol and remember. Combined with an eye-catching banner, this Christmas display makes it easy for website visitors to recall and eventually revisit the shop long after they’ve left the website.

24. Create a Christmas Landing Page

A holiday-specific landing page is usually more effective because it directs customers straight to your holiday offers.

This coffee shop’s website makes use of a landing page. The scene is a Christmas-themed video background displaying promotions for the holiday season. It also uses sticky headers and a CTA that links to its online store.

Quick Tip: Think of landing pages as your storefront window. Whatever visitors see on your landing page will set the mood and help them decide whether to stay or move to a different website. So, make sure that your images are crisp and that your CTAs are descriptive, clear, and cohesive with the rest of the message on your page. Learn how to create a landing page to boost sales.

25. Use Your Products Creatively for the Holidays

Explore creative ways to make your product stand out. Use your website landing page or have a splash page to showcase products that may not be the most sought-after items during the holiday season. Shoppers are always looking for unique gift ideas, so take this opportunity to showcase out-of-the-box ideas.

Flowers are not exactly at the top of anyone’s list on Christmas, which is why florists make an extra effort to stay relevant during this holiday season. Designer Blooms’ website took this opportunity to showcase its flowers as ornaments on an elegant Christmas tree. This creative use of product is what made us include the website in our list.

26. Feature a Christmas Catalog

Feature an annual holiday collection. If you are a small retail business owner, consider starting a holiday catalog or a holiday retail gift guide that you can feature on your online store. Start small, with a few well-chosen products. Display a well-designed ad on your landing page to announce the start of the holiday season.

Neiman Marcus offers an annual catalog for the holiday season: The Christmas Book. Shoppers look forward to this to get the best discounts and prices for quality products, which is why the brand’s website features this on its landing page. Shoppers who eagerly anticipate its release would regularly visit the website and ultimately purchase from there.

27. Implement Virtual Reality

Virtual reality in retail is huge right now, driving customer engagement and pushing the limits of retail merchandising. Feature an interactive display on your landing page. While there are many tech options available for one’s online store, most of these are included on the product page, where it’s more useful. For Christmas retail displays to be effective, however, they need to be immediately visible. Consider featuring one product on your landing page so that your potential customers can have a quick demo of the user experience they can expect from your online store.

John Lewis added a 3D virtual tour on its online shop’s landing page. This virtual tour allows shoppers to control, navigate, and have a look at the products displayed in John Lewis’ physical store. Each product available for sale is also interactive, with clickable buttons that display product information.

28. Display a Christmas Banner on Top of Your Homepage

Use banners to highlight key offers. The use of colors, icons, and fonts ensures visitors will see this announcement as soon as they land on the website. But more than the design, the message is crucial. Include a message that will appeal to visitors and answer concerns that stop them from completing a purchase.

Loog sells guitars and offers guitar lessons for kids. Aside from regularly updating its photo slides, the website also uses banner headers to advertise events and updates, including holiday sales. For this instance, Loog announces free shipping, the most common concern for those trying to purchase online.

29. Have an Iconic Christmas Display

Use classic Christmas symbols to announce the holiday season for your store. Sometimes, a picture really is worth more than a thousand words. And when done right, you get a website look that’s clean, classy, and inviting, without the flashing lights and marquee headlines, while still sending a clear message to your visitors.

There are businesses like Coca-Cola that don’t require too much fanfare on its website to announce the holidays. For instance, displaying the iconic Coca-Cola truck is enough to tell visitors that the brand has started its holiday campaign and to expect surprises moving forward.

Social Media-based Store Christmas Display Ideas

For a successful holiday season, selling on social media is a must. Maintaining a social channel and coursing your promotions through that platform is also a smart marketing strategy—one in four consumers prefers to discover new products through social media over any other channel. As business owners, you should, therefore, ramp up your online store Christmas displays on social media to attract more customers.

30. Create a Christmas Countdown

Use Christmas-themed stickers available on your social accounts. Instagram, for example, has other holiday-themed stickers, such as its Instagram Advent Calendar. Use this to promote a sale or event and encourage followers to share your stories. This ensures that your followers get reminders about your event and keep your business top of mind.

This Instagram account used a countdown sticker as a Christmas display. For business accounts that do social selling on Instagram, this feature can also function as a means to announce a sale. Backgrounds can be used to feature your products that go on sale.

31. Have a Christmas Feature Pin (Pinterest)

As a predominantly visual platform, Pinterest is the perfect space to showcase your featured products. Match it with a well-written description to captivate your audience and convince them to spend some of their holiday budget in your online store.

Target showcased its limited-edition holiday glamping kit and created a sense of urgency among its Instagram followers. The products were set up to inspire visitors and appeal to their fear of missing out on a great buy. While not all of Target’s followers ended up buying, most of them found this pin-worthy of sharing within their network.

Quick Tip: Feature limited-edition holiday kits. As a predominantly visual platform, Pinterest is the perfect space to showcase your featured products. Match it with a well-written description to captivate your audience and convince them to spend some of their holiday budget in your online store.

32. Pin and Utilize Feed Posts, Profiles, and Cover Photos With a Christmas Theme (Facebook)

Be consistent with the little details as they count in setting the right tone for your Facebook followers. Organize your thumbnail photos, especially if you’re promoting a series of Christmas sales. Use the pin post feature for major event announcements, and use the cover page to share discount coupons or even countdowns to your major events.

During the holiday season, Starbucks’ Facebook page curates Christmas-themed posts, updates the cover page, adds small “Christmas details” on the profile photo, and organizes the displayed thumbnail photos. This ensures a consistent overall look of its Facebook page for page visitors.

33. Feature Christmas Story Highlights

Use story highlights for your Christmas photo collection. Story highlights are very useful for seasonal or on-trend promotions like the  Christmas holidays. This will make sure that your followers don’t miss out on any products that go on sale. Be creative and use different strategies such as advent calendar series, countdowns, and contests for your followers.

Frank Body added a holiday section on its Instagram story highlights where all its stories are organized in a theme. This makes it easy for its followers to keep an eye out for products that the store has offered on discount or special limited bundles just for the holidays. As with its other posts, its holiday stories include information on its products plus CTAs for those who are ready to buy.

Mobile Store Christmas Display Ideas

According to Adobe, more than half (53%) of online shopping this holiday season will occur on mobile devices. Sellers in marketplaces like Amazon should, therefore, make the most out of the app’s Christmas display features to maximize revenue share for the holidays.

And don’t downplay the importance of mobile apps for shopping, too. Most age groups prefer shopping from their phones—70% of millennials, 54% of Gen Z, and 58% of Gen X—and Gen Z are particularly enticed to buy and learn about promotions from push notifications of mobile apps than email, social media, and SMS text messages.

Here are some helpful tools to help you get started.

34. Use a Holiday WordPress Theme

This free Christmas store theme is for sellers who use a WordPress website and also want a professional-looking mobile store. It’s fully integrated with the WooCommerce plugin and comes with a mobile-ready layout, so your website will work like a store app on a mobile device.

Quick Tip: Click the above link and scan the QR code from your mobile device to try this Christmas theme and see how it will look and feel for your mobile customers.

35. Have a Dedicated Christmas Themed Popup

Add a Christmas-themed popup to your mobile store to promote your events and special store discounts. You can also add a CTA button to motivate potential customers to make a purchase.

Quick Tip: Hire a freelance designer, or purchase premade popup apps from developers that support popular marketplaces such as Shopify and Amazon—like SMSBump.

36. Download Christmas Holiday Effects for Your Store Mobile App

For Shopify users, you can spruce up your store for the holidays with some quick holiday effects from Shopify’s app store. This includes thematic header/footer imagery, animated elements, cursor icons, and your own images.

Quick Tip: Use of this app is subscription-based and available on Shopify’s app store for $4.99 per month.

37. Let Consumers Play Holiday Mini-games on Mobile

Gamification in retail is a surefire way to drive up engagement for your store. There are a lot of games you can let website visitors play when they visit your online store. Most of these games involve letting customers win a prize from your store, such as a store credit or limited edition prize.

Quick Tip: Look into sales gamification software solutions to implement this for your online store.

Flexible Christmas Display Ideas

Some ideas lend themselves to a few use cases, or you might follow a theme throughout your store.

38. Install a Holiday-themed Photo Booth or Photo Background in Your Store

Make your space shareable and “Instagram-worthy” with a holiday-themed photo booth or backdrop. This not only gives shoppers something fun and different to do while in-store, but it also gives them a reason to share your brand. Word-of-mouth marketing can be a powerful tool! Consider providing holiday-themed props and include your branded hashtag.

Consider providing holiday-themed props and include your branded hashtag.

39. Be Practical With Floral Decorations

Use fake flowers if you want the display to last throughout the season. Wilting flowers won’t hold up, and live flowers require more maintenance like watering and other upkeep. You and your team have enough on your plate during the busy holiday season—you don’t need to add watering plants to your to-do list.

Macy’s is known for its extravagant flower displays for the holidays. You’ll find amazing flower creations in windows, in stores, and in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. You don’t need to build a whole float to jump on this Christmas display idea—you can use small touches throughout.

40. Get Creative With Your Christmas Trees

You don’t need crystals and fancy lights to build your holiday tree. Consider stacking branded product boxes or handing your products from a tree as ornaments, for example.

The Shops at Crystals in Las Vegas built a Christmas tree illuminated with Swarovski crystals and LED lights, garnering attention from shoppers and press alike. It also gives people a reason to visit in person.

41. Give the Gift of Charity

Don’t put the onus fully on your customers. Offer to provide a gift of your own for every gift a customer brings. This will also improve your standing and image in the local community.

You can install a holiday tree for gift-giving in your store and encourage shoppers to get in on the action. Offer gifts for children and people in your community who are in need, and invite your customers to contribute gifts. You can wrap the presents in branded paper and put them under the tree for an on-brand and community-driven holiday display that gets everyone involved.

42. Highlight Deals

Holiday shoppers are seeking the perfect gift, but they’re also budget-conscious. Price is a top consideration for two-thirds of consumers during the holidays. Because it’s a season of spending, consumers are extra mindful of how much things cost, often choosing to trade down for less expensive products.

As such, 59% of shoppers get an early start for the holidays in search of deals and discounts. You can use your displays to highlight these limited-time holiday specials and sales to appeal to these shoppers.

Quick Tip: Slow-moving or excess stock? Consider repackaging and promoting for early holiday sales. It’s a great way to move aging inventory to make room for new, exciting holiday products.

43. Play Holiday Music

Music evokes emotions and can impact our behavior—and that includes shopping behaviors when you hear music in a store. And though you won’t be tapping into the psychology of sales through holiday music, it can lure foot traffic into your shop and even encourage folks to linger longer as they enjoy getting in the holiday spirit. In fact, one-third of shoppers actually enjoy hearing music in stores.

Quick Tip: Consider putting a speaker at or just outside your storefront. This way, the loud music can pique the curiosity of passersby while simply being background noise for your in-store shoppers. You certainly don’t want to distract from the shopping experience altogether.
