Ever wonder what really happens behind the scenes at Santa’s North Pole headquarters? With the Santa & Company Decoration Collection you can pull back the curtain on St. Nick’s magical operation and give everyone in the neighborhood a front-row seat.
It should be no surprise that, especially at this time of year, Santa’s compound is brimming with energy – from the whimsical workshop where elves put the finishing touches on toys, to the whizzing warehouse where presents start their journey to girls and boys. There’s even Santa’s own private study where he checks his famous lists!
If this weren’t already quite a show for the neighborhood, it is great to know that Santa & Company is designed to work seamlessly with two other additional AtmosFX favorites: Santa’s Bakery and Santa’s Mailroom. By combining them all, you can create an expanded view of Santa’s bustling Christmas operation. Imagine displaying Santa’s study in one window, while his busy bakery operates in another. Elsewhere, conveyor belts whir at full speed as Santa’s mailroom buzzes with energy. It is a busy time of year at the vast North Pole complex!
What are the best ways to showcase Santa and his holiday magic? Let us show you how!
Windows: A Portal to the North Pole
Those who have been decorating with AtmosFX Decorations know that one of the most popular ways to transform your home is through window mode displays. That is certainly the case with Santa & Company – you can quickly transform your windows into magical viewports into Santa’s thriving operation. Whether you choose to showcase all three individual decorations in three different windows, or focus on a specific decoration that fits your particular holiday display, proper setup is key.
We always recommend placing AtmosFX’s Window Projection Material in your windows because it has a perfect combination of transparency and opacity to crisply and clearly display your AtmosFX Decorations when you project onto them. That’s important! If you want everyone in your neighborhood to believe that your home has become the local headquarters for Santa’s Christmas operation you want it to be crisp and clear!
Oh, in case you missed it earlier, we want to emphasize it again: To really ratchet up the Wow Factor, consider dedicating different windows to different rooms – imagine children’s delight as they discover Santa’s Toy Shop in one window, then move to the next to see his busy warehouse!
Snow Globe Magic
One of the most enchanting features of Santa & Company is the opportunity to create a snow globe by projecting on a sphere in the Decorating Disc Mode. In essence, the decoration is optimized for projection as a circle, which opens it up to a world of creative possibilities. Have a large exercise ball or beach ball? Or perhaps some of the even larger inflatable snow globes that can be purchased online. Whatever you choose, it is easy to transform it into a magical snow globe where, for example, Santa’s elves are using heavy machinery to make sure packages make it to their proper destination. Imagine the crowd such a display will gather!
You can also use the AtmosFX Decorating Disc XL in the same fashion. We’ve seen many clever decorators take this lightweight, portable circular projection screen and prop it up on its side (make sure to stake it down!) to create a similar show globe effect. In truth, when displayed in this mode that is optimized for circular display, there are plenty of sneaky places you can display Santa & Company. The easiest way is to hang it in your window, and project directly onto it – you instantly have a large dynamic Christmas ornament hanging right in your window. Or, imagine decorating your Decorating Disc XL as if it were a giant wreath and then projecting this, or any other AtmosFX Decoration, through the hole in the middle.
Santa on Your Television or Monitor
Of course, you can transform any TV or monitor into a window to the North Pole. This is particularly effective when integrated into your existing holiday display – imagine your Christmas tree standing next to a screen showing the very workshop where its presents were made! The decoration even has a display mode with artificial window panes that makes it look like you are looking through a window into the toy shop.
Don’t overlook the charm of smaller displays. An old tablet showing any of the individual decorations in Santa & Company can become a showstopping part of a miniature Christmas village. Just imagine the joy you will bring as you look through a window to see Santa in his study taking a quick catnap before he starts his midnight journey.
Digital picture frames are also a great place to display any AtmosFX Decoration, including Santa & Company. Just place it on your mantel and let partygoers discover it on their own – these subtle touches add depth and movement to any holiday display.
Walls and Surfaces: Another Powerful Portal
Lastly, never underestimate how powerful – and easy – projecting on any light-colored wall can be. Almost instantly, that wall will become a powerful portal into Santa’s headquarters! Especially outside, mixed with all your inflatables and lights, the bustling energy of Santa’s elves will fit right in! Imagine the warehouse scene life-sized on your garage door. Or transform your living room wall into Santa’s Study.
For those with short-throw projectors, consider projecting onto the ceiling above children’s beds on Christmas Eve – what could be more magical than falling asleep watching Santa prepare for his big night?
For sure, the versatility of Santa & Company Decoration Collection means there are endless possibilities for bringing North Pole magic to your holiday decorating. Whether you’re creating an immersive Christmas experience or simply adding a touch of wonder to a quiet corner, this decoration offers a unique glimpse into Santa’s world that will delight visitors of all ages.
