Creating a Christmas light show can transform any location. Whether it's for a shopping center, city square, or theme park, the right display makes a significant impact. It can turn any place into a winter wonderland.


But with so many options available, how do you choose the right walkthrough display for your venue?


Choose the Right Walkthrough Christmas Light Display

1. Consider Your Space & Layout

Before selecting a Christmas lights walkthrough display, assess the available space. Ask yourself:

  • How much room do you have? Measure the area to ensure your Christmas light display fits comfortably without blocking walkways.

  • Will it complement your existing or planned decor? Choose a design that enhances your overall theme.

  • Do you need power access? Ensure there's a nearby power source for easy installation.


For large venues like shopping malls, 14-ft Walkthrough Gift Boxes or Walkthrough Stars create grand entrances. For cozier spaces, you can put 8-ft Lighted Frames with bows for stunning Christmas photo spots instead.


City parks and town squares benefit from Christmas light tunnels. These installations invite guests to walk through a sparkling holiday scene.


2. Match Your Theme & Aesthetic

Your interactive Christmas display should align with your venue’s theme. Here are some ideas:

  • Classic Christmas: Red and warm white Walkthrough Ornaments or Gift Boxes bring timeless elegance.

  • Winter Wonderland: Cool white Christmas arches and snowflake lighted arches add a frosty touch.

  • Festive & Playful: A candy cane arch or multicolor Christmas archway creates a whimsical experience.

  • Modern Chic: Sleek geometric designs, all-white holiday light displays, and golden accents can add a sophisticated touch.



3. Choose a Display That Engages Visitors

A Christmas tunnel of lights should do more than just look beautiful—it should create an interactive experience! Consider:

  • Photo-Friendly Features: Open designs in displays invite guests to walk through and take pictures. This creates a great chance for family photos.

  • Multi-Sensory Elements: Some displays incorporate twinkling lights or even music for extra engagement.

  • Social Media Appeal: Choose something that will wow visitors and encourage them to share online. Adding a custom sign with a hashtag can boost online visibility.

A well-placed Christmas arch or lighted arch at the entrance of a venue sets the tone for the holiday experience. Meanwhile, a giant Christmas decoration like a 12-ft walkthrough gift box can serve as the ultimate Instagram-worthy moment.


4. Installation & Setup Considerations

When selecting a holiday light display, factor in installation requirements:

  • Ease of Setup: Look for displays with modular designs for quick assembly.

  • Use durable, weatherproof materials to create outdoor Christmas light displays.

  • Stability: Secure anchoring is essential for high-traffic areas.

5. Plan for Maintenance & Storage

To keep your giant Christmas decorations looking great year after year:

  • Store in temperature-controlled environments to prevent weathering.

  • Clean and inspect before each use to check for damaged lights or structural wear.

  • Invest in high-quality, commercial-grade outdoor Christmas light displays that withstand the elements.

  • Regularly test LED Christmas lights to ensure all bulbs are working properly.

  • Use protective covers when storing Christmas arches and walkthrough displays to prevent scratches and damage.


6. Budgeting for Your Display

Prices for Christmas light displays can vary depending on size, customization, and lighting technology. To make the most of your budget:

  • Put your most eye-catching Christmas archway or photo spot in the busiest area of your venue.

  • Consider energy-efficient options: LED-lit holiday light displays use less electricity and last longer.

  • Look for bulk discounts: Buying multiple Christmas arches or walkthrough displays at once can help you save.

  • Plan for long-term use: Invest in strong, high-quality Christmas lights. This way, you can use the decorations for many seasons.
