Case Studies
Madison Square Park
A 55-foot natural tree for the home of America's oldest Christmas lighting ceremony, designed to feel both timeless and new.
Fifth Avenue Association
15 blocks of midtown Manhattan transformed for the holiday season, captivating tourists and lifelong New Yorkers.
Meatpacking District
Site-specific seasonal installations designed for one of NYC's most photographed neighborhoods.
Some places become part of holiday tradition.
Where families return every winter. A plaza where people stop for photos. Office lobby workers look forward to all season. Retail corridor that stays busy after dark. And the hotel guests remember long after checkout.
We design each one to become a destination people return to season after season. Here’s our approach:
Holiday Collective designs and installs custom commercial holiday lighting for retail destinations, hotels, mixed-use developments, business improvement districts, and public spaces. From large-scale Christmas lighting displays to elegant architectural lighting moments, we create immersive seasonal environments that transform how people experience a space.
Our full-service approach includes concept development, lighting design, commercial LED lighting installation, maintenance, removal, and storage — ensuring seamless execution from start to finish.
Built from scratch every time. Never the same street twice.
This is for you if
This is for you if
Your property looks the same every holiday season, and guests, tenants, or visitors are starting to notice
You need installations engineered for outdoor conditions, high foot traffic, and commercial-grade electrical requirements
You want a partner who handles permitting, electrical planning, and the operational complexity of public-facing lighting at scale
You've worked with lighting vendors who installed late, left things half-done, or couldn't troubleshoot when something failed mid-season
Your stakeholders expect measurable results - guest engagement, increased dwell time, photo-worthy moments, brand visibility
You're tired of holiday lighting that looks generic - strung lights, basic patterns, the same thing every other property has
Built for spaces that feel intentional, not assembled.

How it Works
-
![experiential-design-discovery-brand-activation-planning.jpg]()
Step 1
Discovery
We start with the brief. The brand, the campaign, the audience, the moment you're trying to create. Every activation is built around what makes your launch unique and what people should walk away with.
-
![custom-event-fabrication-production-experiential-activation.jpg]()
Step 2
Production
We develop renderings, fabricate every structure in our NYC production facility, and coordinate every operational detail: venue permits, load-in logistics, scenic builds, partner integrations, photo moments engineered for sharing.
-

Step 3
Delivery
Our crews handle installation, after-hours load-in, safety compliance, on-site adjustments, takedown, and storage. We stay with you from concept to load-out. You focus on your guests. We handle the floor.
What this takes behind the scenes
15 blocks of midtown Manhattan, 150 illuminated holiday trees, 50 custom-fabricated planter bases with self-contained power and water sources. Two modular 9' archways of greenery and oversized metallic bows. An exclusive scenting experience using NEST holiday scent diffusers.
The result: a holiday experience that captivated tourists and lifelong New Yorkers alike, creating a sense of awe and a steady stream of shareable moments across one of the most photographed corridors in the world.
Create an experience that stands out
From elegant hospitality lighting to immersive district-wide displays, Holiday Collective designs commercial lighting environments that create emotional impact and lasting seasonal experiences.
The block that everyone in the neighborhood points to. The hotel doorman tells you about before you ask. The lobby people walk into and forget they were on the way somewhere else.
That doesn't happen with rented lights and a catalog. Your space deserves to be that block, that doorway or that lobby.
Let's build it.
