Creating Canada’s favourite festive window displays.

The Hudson’s Bay holiday windows are a beloved tradition, and we were honoured to be asked to bring them to dazzling, sparkling life. Our client, Hudson’s Bay, came to us with an idea: this year, the iconic holiday windows would be a children’s storybook, taking people on a journey through wintry wonderlands, Santa’s workshop, Toronto and New York — with a quick stop at the Holiday circus! We knew snow globes would be the perfect recurring motif, being festive and customizable, so we went to work building these magical moments.

We knew these would appear at Toronto’s flagship Hudson’s Bay store, as well as at Lord + Taylor in New York City, so we tailored each city scene appropriately. Torontonians would see a snow globe surrounded by the CN tower and our famous streetcars, while New Yorkers would be treated to the New York skyline and their beloved yellow cabs. Once the animatronics were built, it was time for our final touches — we created custom vinyl wraps for each window to add dimension to every scene, as well as working with a partner to install custom digital projections in each window to give the scene more movement and depth. It really was the most wonderful time of the year!
