Mall Christmas DecorationsFrom the Center Court Tree to the Storefront Garland

The holiday season is the busiest stretch your center will have all year, and the decor is the first thing every shopper sees walking through the doors. We have been dressing shopping centers since 1921, and we have been doing it at the Mall at University Town Center for fourteen years running. Your team runs the center. We will handle the christmas decorations, from the center court christmas tree to the last length of garland on the concourse rail, and we will have it finished the morning doors open in November.

What We Decorate

Every city is a different mounting problem. Pole height, bracket type, power, traffic, and the storage space you have in March all change which decorations belong where. These are the commercial decorations municipalities order most.

Commercial Christmas Trees

Bring joy to your community this holiday season with a showstopping Christmas tree that everyone will remember. Our commercial Christmas tree packages are designed for businesses, municipalities, sports facilities, amusement parks, and even large private properties. Customize your tree with coordinated ornament kits, brilliant holiday lighting, and garlands for a finished look. Whether you’re looking to create a centerpiece for a town square or add holiday magic to your venue, our grand outdoor commercial Christmas trees, paired with the right display setup, set the perfect festive scene. See how we install and remove the 100-foot Delray Beach Christmas tree, the largest Christmas tree in Florida. Not sure what height fits your plaza or square? Start with our commercial Christmas tree sizing guide.

Shatterproof Ornaments

Elevate your seasonal installations with our Shatterproof Ornaments collection, offering a range of durable, non-breakable round ornaments in sizes from 2‑1/3″ up to 12″. Available in finishes from shimmering glitter to sleek matte and vibrant candy colors, these resilient accents are ideal for high-traffic outdoor or public environments. Perfect for retail displays, plazas, and festive tree installations, they deliver lasting beauty, safety, and visual impact—even in demanding commercial settings.

Garlands

Garland is the connective tissue of a great holiday display. It fills gaps between focal pieces, wraps structures that would otherwise go bare, and ties an entire streetscape together into something cohesive and vibrant. HOD’s commercial garland collection gives municipalities, shopping centers, business improvement districts, and downtown districts the tools to do exactly that at scale, with durability built in from the start. Whether you’re dressing light poles on Main Street, draping railings along a promenade, or framing storefront entrances, our garlands are engineered for commercial use in high-traffic outdoor environments where performance matters as much as appearance.

Photo Ops

Capture the season’s spirit with our Photo Op displays, thoughtfully designed to create inviting, Instagram-worthy scenes and festive memories. Designed for commercial use, these durable and eye-catching installations enhance public spaces, including shopping districts, resorts, and parks. Bring your holiday decor to life with interactive displays that engage visitors and inspire smiles throughout the season. Photo ops are where visitors stop and share. See how our displays wow your audience.

Commercial Grade Decorations, Built for Retail Traffic

A center’s holiday decor earns its keep by looking as good in January as it did at the lighting, and that comes down to how it is built. Everything we sell to a shopping center is commercial holiday product, not retail decor scaled up: steel frames, powder-coated finishes, UV-stable fiberglass, flame-retardant greenery, and sealed LED lighting on every strand. Mall decorations take punishment a home tree never sees, including stroller and shopping cart traffic, curious hands, and eight to twelve weeks of continuous display under hot lighting. That resilience is what makes the math work, because the cost of a Christmas display spreads across eight or ten seasons instead of being rebought every other year. We store, inspect, and refurbish your decorations between seasons, so year eight reads the same as year one.

Our commercial Christmas trees run twelve to fifty feet in panel, branch, and Nordika construction, sized to the atrium you are filling, with decorated Christmas tree stands and coordinated ornament and ribbon packages. Suspended large decorations use the volume a mall has and a street does not: oversized ornaments, snowflakes, stars, and gift boxes hung from the ceiling structure over center court. Lit garland runs the railings and storefront frontage, wreaths go at every entrance, and custom ribbon picks up your center’s colors. The Santa Claus set your marketing team runs a photo program around is built to the same standard, alongside walk-through photo ops, an elf workshop scene, and reindeer. We decorate for Halloween and the spring seasons on the same hardware.

We have been supplying and installing commercial holiday decor for over a century: USA engineered product, our own installation crews, and a design consultant who walks your property before drawing anything. Products ship nationwide.




White Glove Service, From Concept Through Takedown

ONE TEAM, EVERY PHASE OF THE SEASON.

Choosing, installing, and storing a commercial holiday display is not most people’s day job. It is ours, and it has been since 1921. Our crews design the layout, mount every piece, keep it lit through the season, take it down, and store it until next year. You approve the vision. We handle the rest.

On-site design consultation

A designer walks your site with you, reviews power availability and mounting conditions, and builds a layout around what is actually there. The first consultation is complimentary.

Installation

Certified installers mount every piece securely and position it the way it was designed to sit.

Maintenance

Bulb replacement, repairs, and adjustments through the season, so the display looks the same in January as it did at the first lighting ceremony.

Takedown

Our crews return at season’s end and remove everything safely, including the hardware.

Storage

Your decor is packed, transported, and held in climate-controlled facilities until next season.

Complete White Glove Service is available across the Northeast, Midwest and Florida. Products ship nationwide, and our team can advise on layout and installation anywhere in the country.


Centers We’ve Transformed

Real installations, real scale. Every project below was designed, built, and installed by our team, and most have come back season after season.

Mall at University Town Center | Sarasota, FL

More than ten seasons decorating Hamilton Crossings, an open-air center in Allentown: three-panel Christmas trees, pole wraps finished with bows, and seasonal banners that change with the center all year, spring through the holidays. Installed and removed by our crews every season.


Questions We Get From Shopping Centers

Yes, and it is how we work in most centers. We build the install schedule around your hours, stage the decorations off-hours, and do lift work after close, so the mall opens decorated with no barricades in front of a tenant. We coordinate with center security and your operations team on dock access, lift routes, and rigging sign-off before the first truck arrives.

Most centers install in the first two weeks of November so the decor is live before holiday shopping starts, with Santa sets often earlier for photo program launches. Ordering is the tighter constraint. Custom decorations need production time and installation calendars fill through the fall, so a center planning a new look usually starts in spring or early summer. If you are later than that, call anyway. We have built shorter timelines before.

Yes. Ribbon, ornament color, and accent packages are specified per center, and we build fully custom decorations when a center wants a signature piece. Our design consultant renders the concept on a photo of your space before you approve anything.

If you are within our White Glove Service area, we take everything down, transport it, and hold it in climate-controlled storage until next season. If you store your own display, we can advise on packing and handling so it lasts. Our decor is built to be used for many seasons, and storage is most of what determines whether it gets there.

Damage happens. Wind, weather, and traffic are part of outdoor decorating. Within our service area, maintenance is included in White Glove Service and our crews handle repairs in season. Outside it, we supply replacement parts and walk your team through the fix. Our products carry a warranty, and the details are on our warranties page.

Less than you might expect. Before install, we send your operations team the schedule, the equipment list, certificates of insurance, and product details for anything your landlord, insurer, or fire marshal asks to see. You give us site access, a point of contact for the install nights, and any tenant or rigging rules for the property. We handle the crews, the lifts, and the cleanup, and we work to your center’s rules on noise, lighting, and lot access.

Yes. Many of our shopping centers run seasonal banners that change through the year, with spring, summer, and autumn sets before the holiday program goes up. The same crews swap the banners on your light poles, then add trees, pole wraps, and bows for the holidays. You get one partner and one schedule for the whole year, and your center always looks current.
