It must whisper luxury, sparkle with magic, and express your brand’s DNA.
But how do you stand out when every store is already using red, gold, and Christmas trees?
At Samtop, we help global brands create custom holiday props and window kits that combine craftsmanship with retail performance.
Here are 10 proven, premium-worthy ideas to inspire your 2025 holiday campaign.
