At American Christmas, we make people happy. Our unique décor is designed to engage and create unforgettable experiences, bringing joy to your guests and magic to every celebration. Whether it’s Christmas, Halloween or year-round installations, we create displays that brighten up every moment. Since 1968, we’ve been spreading enchantment from our headquarters in Mount Vernon, NY, and we were thrilled to extend our holiday magic to the Mid-Atlantic region by opening our doors in Maryland in 2020.

Illuminating the Mid-Atlantic

Transforming spaces into stunning holiday and year-round displays is our dedication. Our Mid-Atlantic office has had the honor of working on some of the region's most notable projects. From beautifully decorated shopping centers to sparkling public spaces, we have created unforgettable experiences for thousands of visitors. Each installation is thoroughly planned and executed with attention to detail, ensuring that the magic is felt in every corner, creating lasting memories for families, friends, and everyone who passes by.

Lighting up D.C. CITY CENTER

Our collaboration with Hines at D.C. City Center is a shining example of our commitment to excellence. Delight yourself in our illumination of over 140 trees and the installation of a majestic 78-foot Christmas tree, one of the largest on the East Coast, as well as bolstering two 22-foot Deer. Each year this marvelous display is enchanting visitors from near and far, accumulating around 8,000 people for the Tree Lighting Ceremony.

Merriweather's Winter Wonderland: A Cheerful Celebration

Annually, the Merriweather District comes to life with a delightful winter wonderland. In partnership with Howard Hughes, we orchestrate a magical experience filled with warmth, joy, and holiday cheer for everyone.
