At Christmas Night Inc., we specialize in the heirloom-quality, fiberglass displays that transform standard properties into community landmarks and "must-see" social media destinations.

Featured Professional Inventory for 2026

To help you build more competitive bids, we’ve curated our top-performing categories based on professional feedback:

Life-Size Nutcrackers for High-Traffic Entrances Our Life-Size Nutcrackers are the gold standard for storefronts and gated community entrances. Professional decorators love these pieces because they provide an instant "Instagrammable" moment for the client. Best of all, they are designed for stability, making them easy to bolt down and secure against wind or foot traffic.

Commercial-Scale Nativity Sets for Public Spaces For churches, hospitals, and municipal parks, our Commercial Nativity Sets offer a reverent and majestic presence. Because these pieces are crafted from high-quality fiberglass, they represent a long-term investment for your clients; you can offer a multi-year service contract to expand their display one piece at a time.

Majestic Toy Soldiers for Vertical Impact When you need to create a sense of grandeur in foyers or along perimeters but have a limited ground footprint, our Majestic Toy Soldiers are the ideal solution. Their impressive height provides massive visual "lift" to a property, helping your design stand out even from a distance.

Interactive Santa Sleighs & Reindeer Perfect for malls and "selfie stations," our Santa’s Sleighs & Reindeer are built for durability. These are heavy-duty displays specifically designed to handle public interaction, allowing you to provide your clients with a functional photo-op that drives foot traffic and engagement.

The best Christmas displays aren’t built in the frantic weeks of November; they are engineered in the quiet of January.

By treating your holiday investments with the same care as fine furniture, you ensure that your festive tradition lives on for generations to come.

Welcome to ChristmasNightInc.com! As you select the perfect piece to anchor your holiday traditions, you're not just buying a decoration—you're investing in a magical display that will bring joy for generations.

When it comes to large, durable holiday decor, two materials stand out: Fiberglass and Resin. While both are weather-resistant and beautiful, they offer distinct advantages that determine how long your heirloom display will shine.

Heirloom Quality: Fiberglass vs. Resin

At ChristmasnightInc.com, we understand that a true holiday heirloom must withstand the test of time, weather, and repeated seasonal use. Here is how our premium materials compare in delivering lifetime value:

Fiberglass (FRP) – The Commercial Choice

• Ideal Size: Large to Oversized (Statues over 4 feet, walk-through arches, 3D installations).
• Durability: Superior Structural Strength. Reinforced with glass fibers; highly resistant to cracking from impact or high winds.
• Weight & Handling: Extremely Lightweight. Easier for homeowners or professional installers to move, lift, and store safely each season.
• Longevity: Built to Last a Lifetime. With proper care, these pieces endure for decades.
• Investment Level: Mid-to-High Range (Reflects commercial-grade durability and safety).

Resin (Polyresin) – The Detailed Choice

• Ideal Size: Small to Medium (Detailed figures, smaller accents, complex scenes).
• Durability: High Detail, Less Impact Resistant. Can be brittle; best suited for protected areas.
• Weight & Handling: Medium Weight. Substantial feel, but less practical for very large, high-up, or frequently moved pieces.
• Longevity: Excellent Seasonal Life. Highly durable for many seasons, but requires more vigilance against physical damage.
• Investment Level: Affordable to Mid-Range (Excellent value for detail).

Fiberglass: The Lifetime Heirloom

For the absolute best in durability and safety for large-scale outdoor displays, Fiberglass (FRP) is unmatched.

Why Fiberglass is the Heirloom Standard:

• Built to Scale: Our large fiberglass pieces—from 10-foot toy soldiers to giant Santa thrones—are remarkably lightweight yet structurally rock-solid. This is the same material used for theme park displays and commercial installations where safety and durability are non-negotiable.
• High-Wind Resilience: The embedded glass fibers provide the highest level of impact strength, ensuring your centerpiece can handle unexpected bumps, high winds, and the rigors of seasonal setup and tear-down year after year.
• Ease of Installation: Despite their commanding size, the light weight makes these pieces much easier for you and your family to lift, place, and secure without the need for heavy equipment.

Choose Fiberglass when your goal is to buy a statement piece that truly lasts a lifetime.

Resin: The Exquisite Detail Heirloom

For smaller, more intricate scenes that demand the finest artistic expression, Resin (Polyresin) provides exceptional value and beauty.

Why Resin Excels in Detail:

• Artistic Precision: Resin captures exquisite, fine detail—perfect for the delicate features of an angel, the texture of Santa’s beard, or the intricate painting on a village figurine.
• Substantial Feel: The medium weight of resin pieces gives them a premium, substantial feel and helps them anchor smaller displays effectively.
• Cost-Effective Beauty: Resin allows us to offer beautifully detailed holiday figures at a more accessible price point, ensuring seasonal beauty for many years to come.

Choose Resin for intricate accents where fine detail is prioritized, and the item is placed in a more protected area.

Maximizing Your Investment: Care Tips

Whether you select Fiberglass or Resin, proper care is key to ensuring your ChristmasnightInc.com display remains a treasured family heirloom:

• Protect from the Sun: Both materials are susceptible to fading from UV exposure. Always check the finish before the season. If the protective sheen looks dull, re-apply a high-quality UV-resistant clear coat or wax to keep the colors vibrant for decades.
• Gentle Cleaning: Clean your display with a soft cloth, warm water, and mild detergent (like dish soap). Never use abrasive cleaners that can damage the painted finish.
• Smart Storage: When the season ends, clean your piece, ensure it is completely dry, and store it in a climate-controlled area (like a garage or basement) in its original packaging or a well-padded box to prevent accidental knocks during the off-season.

There’s still time to impress your family, neighbors, or customers with a polished holiday setup. With fast-shipping décor from Christmas Night Inc., you can go from “not ready” to “wow-worthy” in no time.

Transform your property into a captivating winter wonderland this holiday season by creating an immersive walk-through Christmas experience. With careful planning and the spectacular array of decorations available from ChristmasNightInc.com, you can design a memorable journey that will delight visitors of all ages. This detailed guide will walk you through the process, from developing a theme to selecting the perfect, show-stopping pieces.

Step 1: Discover Your Theme and Narrative

Before the first string of lights is hung, establishing a cohesive theme is paramount. Your theme will guide every decorating decision, ensuring a harmonious and professional-looking display. Consider the atmosphere you want to create. Is it a traditional, Rockwell-esque Christmas village? A whimsical and playful Santa's workshop? Or a serene and reverent Nativity scene?

Popular theme ideas to spark your imagination:

- Classic Christmas: Think warm whites, rich reds and greens, and timeless characters. This theme relies on nostalgia and traditional holiday symbols.

- Winter Wonderland: A sophisticated palette of blues, silvers, and whites, with a focus on snow, ice, and elegant reindeer.

- Santa's Workshop: Bursting with color, playful elves, and scenes of toy production, this theme is a delight for children.

- A Story of the Nativity: Create a peaceful and moving experience centered around the birth of Jesus, with life-sized figures and serene lighting.

- Candy Cane Lane: A fun and whimsical theme dominated by reds and whites, with oversized sweets and cheerful characters.

Once you have a theme, craft a simple narrative for your walk-through. This story will help you structure the experience and create a logical flow for your visitors. For example, in a "Santa's Workshop" theme, the journey could begin at the mailroom, move through the toy factory, visit the reindeer stables, and culminate in a meeting with Santa himself.

Step 2: Map Your Journey: Layout and Flow

With your theme and narrative in mind, it's time to map out the physical path your visitors will take. Sketch a layout of your space, whether it's a front yard, a commercial property, or an event venue. Consider the following:

- A Grand Entrance: Your entrance should be a "wow" moment that sets the tone for the entire experience. Think about using an archway, flanking the entrance with impressive figures, or creating a brightly lit path.

- Create Focal Points: Design your walk-through around several key scenes or "vignettes" that align with your narrative. These will be the main attractions and photo opportunities.

- Guide the Way: Use lighting, pathways, and strategically placed decorations to guide visitors from one focal point to the next. The journey should feel intuitive and uncrowded.

- Build to a Climax: The walk-through should build in excitement, leading to a grand finale. This could be a massive Christmas tree, a meeting with a central character, or a spectacular light show.

- Don't Forget the Exit: The experience shouldn't abruptly end. A thoughtful exit, perhaps with a "Merry Christmas" sign or a small parting gift, leaves a lasting positive impression.

Step 3: Selecting Your "Wow" Factor Pieces from ChristmasNightInc.com

ChristmasNightInc.com specializes in life-sized and larger-than-life decorations that can serve as the stunning centerpieces of your walk-through experience.

For a Grand Entrance:

- Flank your entrance with a pair of majestic Life-Size Toy Soldiers or elegant Nutcrackers. These create a sense of occasion and welcome guests in style.

- A Lighted Archway or a custom "Welcome to..." sign can also create a magical portal into your winter wonderland.

Creating Your Main Scenes:

The extensive catalog at ChristmasNightInc.com allows you to build entire scenes. For a "Santa's Workshop" theme, you could feature:

- A bustling scene with multiple Elves appearing to be hard at work.

- A dedicated area for Santa's Sleigh and Reindeer, with a life-sized sleigh that can double as a fantastic photo opportunity.

- Of course, a magnificent Santa Claus figure, perhaps seated in an ornate chair, is ready to greet visitors.

For a "Classic Christmas" or "Winter Wonderland" theme, consider:

- A family of Life-Sized Deer, some grazing and others majestically poised.

- Charming Carolers in traditional attire create a heartwarming scene.

- A stunning Life-Sized Nativity Set for a more traditional and meaningful focal point.

Photo Opportunities:

In the age of social media, offering engaging photo ops is a must. ChristmasNightInc.com offers a variety of options that are perfect for this:

- Santa's Sleigh: Allow visitors to sit in a life-sized sleigh for the ultimate Christmas photo.

- Giant Ornaments and Picture Frames: These create a fun and whimsical backdrop.

- Character Benches: A bench with a friendly snowman or other character invites guests to sit and snap a picture.

Step 4: Layering with Supporting Decorations and Lighting

Once your main attractions are in place, it's time to fill in the details and create a rich, layered look.

- Abundant Greenery and Trees: Use a variety of Christmas Trees of different sizes to add depth and a festive feel throughout the space.

- Pathways and Borders: Line your pathways with Oversized Candy Canes, Festive Light Stakes, or smaller figurines to keep guests on track and enhance the immersive feel.

- The Magic of Light: Lighting is arguably the most crucial element in creating a magical Christmas experience. ChristmasNightInc.com offers a wide selection of lighting options:

• LED Lighted Displays: These come in a variety of shapes, from stars and snowflakes to angels and reindeer, and can be used to adorn buildings, create backdrops, or stand alone as features.
• String Lights: Use these liberally to wrap trees, outline buildings, and create a warm, ambient glow.
• Spotlights: Use spotlights to illuminate your main figures and scenes, making them pop in the darkness.

Step 5: Incorporating Sound and Interactive Elements

To truly engage all the senses, consider adding sound and interactive elements to your walk-through.

- A Festive Soundscape: Play a curated soundtrack of instrumental Christmas carols or cheerful holiday tunes. Conceal outdoor speakers along the path to create a seamless audio experience.

- Storytelling Signage: Place small signs at each vignette to tell a part of your story, adding another layer of engagement for visitors.

- Interactive Fun: Consider a "scavenger hunt" where children can look for specific small decorations along the path, or a "letter to Santa" mailbox where they can post their Christmas wishes.

By thoughtfully combining a compelling theme, a well-planned layout, and the stunning decorations available at ChristmasNightInc.com, you can create a walk-through Christmas experience that will be a cherished holiday tradition for your community for years to come. Start dreaming and planning today, and get ready to spread the magic of the season.

We are all aware of the controversial nature of religious display on both public and private property. Many newspaper stories have been written recently about Christians and Christian families being denied the right to display a Nativity Scene on private as well as public property.

We are not attorneys nor are we experts in constitutional law. What we offer, for your information and education, are links to three very informative websites. These websites are The Thomas More Law Center, www.thomasmore.org. They were a help to Christmas Night since Thomas Kiley purchased one of our life size outdoor Nativity scenes to honor his family of five generations in Bedford NY and was able to display it on public land.

Also please visit The National Legal Foundation at www.nlf.net. and see www.achw.org/html/nlf.html for Nativity display stories and a letter from the chief counsels of the foundation and center spelling out the details of our right to display a Nativity scene on public and private property.

Lastly, for advice and encouragement from a citizen who fought city hall and won, please visit Bruce Barilla at www.nativityhelp.org.

As a child, do you remember driving around neighborhood after neighborhood, face pressed against the cool glass of the car window, your breath creating fleeting steam patterns around your nose? If you never did it, you're missing out. Don't let another child miss out on the magic of the Christmas season, and put your decorations to use for a good cause - your church programming.

Using decorative displays for commercial use or fundraising can be a little tricky if not approached correctly. First of all, resist the urge to charge too much, or opt for a "suggested donation" instead. Families of all walks of life should be able to share in the joy of the Christmas season as well as the community of your church. Embrace those who cannot pay and be thankful for those who can give, or even give more than what's expected. Show the grace and compassion that the Holy Child was born share.

Secondly, opt for charging (or asking for a donation, of course) per carload rather than per person. Light-peeping, like autumn's leaf-peeping, is something that is generally done in families or in groups. It's an activity that literally requires you to slow down and have a look around. Whether you choose a setup that people can simply drive through, or have a walking exhibit with paths through the woods, the ability to do a fun, safe group activity that encourages getting away from technology screens is a fading pastime.

Thirdly, as mentioned above, choose what kind of setup you'd like to prepare. If you have a stretch of property or large enough churchyard, get people out walking! Create paths that guide your guests to a nativity scene the way visitors came to see the Blessed Virgin and Emmanuel. Have a little fun with it, too. If you are so moved, create other areas that bring together winter animals, toy soldiers and even Santa Claus. Pay reverence to the reason for the season, but remember that not all your visitors may know your Redeemer the way you do. Show them it is possible to enjoy the silly parts of Christmastime while sharing in God's light at the same time.

Amsterdam, NY – September 18, 2013 – Christmas Night Inc., global retailer of nativity scenes and Christmas displays, is encouraging retailers to get a head start on planning for the busy holiday season. While September may seem centuries away from Christmas, seasonal decorators have been researching customer requests and working on major projects for months, and many are now placing orders for nutcrackers, nativity sets and other Christmas décor.

"September is a very busy time of year for us," said Don Henderson, co-owner of Christmas Night Inc. "The way this September is going, I wouldn't be surprised if we ran out of our most popular products before December 25."

Christmas Night Inc. has seen an increased demand for life-size six-foot scale nativities, which have been purchased by shopping centers, municipalities and businesses as well as churches and some very large and devout private homes. The traditional version of the Santa, sleigh, and reindeer continues to be in high demand for shopping centers and private homes.

As the trend toward Christmas decorating with outdoor figures continues to grow, such figures are becoming more readily available. All Christmas Night Inc. figures are made of durable fiberglass with a finish that is bright and long-lasting. For these reasons, it's important for retailers to start planning for the holiday season with the right Christmas display from Christmas Night Inc. 

About Christmas Night Inc.

Claire and Don Henderson opened Christmas Night Inc. in 1999, to fill a consumer need for complete nativity sets, holy families and large outdoor Christmas figures, including Santa, snowmen, toy soldiers, and nutcrackers. Located in Amsterdam, NY, Christmas Night Inc. is pleased to provide these seasonal items to those who celebrate and enjoy the spirit of Christmas.
