How Christmas Tower Trees Create Community Around the Holidays. Every December, shopping centers, city plazas, and public spaces light up with twinkling displays, warm scents, and festive cheer. But there’s one feature that consistently stands out, drawing people together year after year, the Commercial Tower Tree.
At Creative Displays, we specialize in crafting Giant Tower Trees that do more than fill a space, they spark connection, inspire joy, and encourage community engagement. Whether you’re a city planner, facilities manager, or business owner, a towering Christmas display isn’t just a visual centerpiece, it’s a catalyst for shared holiday spirit.
In this article, we’ll explore how Christmas Tower Trees help foster community, drive traffic, and transform spaces, and why more municipalities and shopping centers are choosing Commercial Tower Trees to anchor their seasonal decor strategies.
What Are Commercial Tower Trees?
Commercial Tower Trees are large-scale Christmas tree displays engineered for maximum visual impact, durability, and repeat seasonal use. Ranging from 12 feet to 40 feet tall (with custom heights available), these trees are:
- Constructed from powder-coated steel with a central pole and ring-based structure
- Adorned with crush-resistant, commercial-grade PVC foliage in various shades of green
- Built for indoor or outdoor use in wind, snow, or rain
- Fully customizable with ornaments, color palettes, and lighting options
- Designed for easy installation with climbing rings and modular construction
Whether they stand in a city plaza or outside a major retailer, Giant Tower Trees are designed to become a focal point, encouraging visitors to gather, celebrate, and return year after year.
A Focal Point for Public Gatherings
During the holidays, people are drawn to spaces that make them feel festive, nostalgic, and welcome. A Giant Tower Tree provides exactly that, a tall, bright, and joyful display that invites people in.
Cities and districts use Commercial Tower Trees to:
- Serve as the centerpiece for tree lighting ceremonies
- Anchor town squares and shopping promenades
- Create photo opportunities and memory-making moments
- Encourage visitors to explore adjacent businesses and attractions
A well-designed tower tree becomes more than decor, it becomes a symbol of seasonal celebration for the entire community.
Boosting Retail and Downtown Foot Traffic
Visual appeal alone doesn’t drive economic impact, it’s about engagement. And that’s where these trees shine.
Here’s how they help:
- Increased foot traffic: A massive, beautifully lit Christmas tree becomes a destination, encouraging people to stop, take photos, and spend time in the area.
- Enhanced shopper experience: When paired with music, lighting shows, or surrounding décor like arches and pole mounts, the environment becomes immersive and memorable.
- Extended dwell time: Families who gather around the tree are more likely to linger, shop, dine, and return.
From a business perspective, investing in a Commercial Tower Tree is an investment in seasonal visibility, foot traffic, and customer satisfaction.
Tech-Forward Lighting for a Modern Experience
Today’s holiday lighting isn’t just static bulbs, it’s programmable, energy-efficient, and unforgettable.
Creative Displays offers tech-forward RGB lighting packages for tower trees, allowing cities and centers to:
- Run light shows synchronized to music
- Use custom color sequences to match branding or themes
- Switch lighting styles from classic warm white to vibrant, color-changing effects
This level of control adds another layer of excitement, giving local visitors a reason to come back and experience it again.
Building Holiday Traditions
The most successful public displays create tradition, something people come back to every year. A 30-foot or 40-foot Christmas Tower Tree installed in the same spot each season becomes part of a city’s cultural identity.
Families return to take annual photos. Grandparents bring grandkids. Couples propose under the lights. These aren’t just moments, they’re traditions in the making.
Your community’s tower tree can be a lasting source of pride and connection, year after year.
Customizable to Your Community’s Unique Style
Every city, town, or shopping center has its own unique charm and your tree should reflect that.
