Testimonials

“Taking a step back from it all, what Saks asks American Christmas to do is insane. Every year for the holidays, Saks mounts a massive, 8-story tall light show on the façade of a 100-year-old building in the middle of what may be the busiest place on earth during the holidays—the Saks flagship store on Fifth Avenue, right across the street from Rockefeller Center. Oh, and we can only work in the middle of the night, with no scaffolding to facilitate the installation.

And somehow, working with the incredible team at American stage of the process, from ideation to value engineering to installation. They understand nuance, visual impact, and risk tolerance, and they've earned an incredible level of trust across many levels of the Saks organization, from security to Public Relations. Setbacks are invariably met with innovative solutions from people who really really care about creating something extraordinary. These are true world-class experts—not just at installing high-profile projects, but in balancing the art, the engineering and the cost of a one-of-a-kind spectacle. The only way you get through this kind of high-pressure installation is with a partner that brings dedication, ingenuity and a real love for the work. You could spend years looking for that kind of partner. Or you could just work with American Christmas.”

“Over the last century, Rockefeller Center has become synonymous with Christmas, as visitors from across the globe travel to see the world's most famous Christmas Tree, or celebrate the season on skates at the iconic Rink.

Tishman Speyer has had a wonderful experience working with American Christmas over the past several years to integrate additional holiday décor. Year after year, they oversee the storage, installation, and deconstruction of some of Rockefeller Center's most beloved campus decorations, including the Angels in the Channel Gardens. In 2023, American Christmas partnered with Balsam Hill to install customized designs for the Center's Après Skate Chalets alongside The Rink with a showstopping view of the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree. The added touch of holiday spirit helps build lasting memories for visitors young and old to campus, and we highly recommend American Christmas for anyone looking for top-tier holiday décor expertise.”

"Over the last 7 years we have continued to grow our holiday décor and assortment with American Christmas. One of the main reasons we look forward to planning and developing for the holiday season is due to their support and partnership. It’s become incredibly easy to create, develop and execute projects which makes my job easier during such an important and busy time of year for most businesses.”

“We love working with American Christmas for our Holiday Décor at Empire Outlets. I was really excited during the 2023 season to get new décor for the property, Bob and team put together a perfect proposal that we loved. They really knew what would work for us. We had a brand-new Christmas tree in 2023 that our customers loved, posting all over social media and giving positive feedback. The onsite team that installs the décor is very efficient and gets the job done in a timely manner. If any issues arise, they work fast to solve them. We highly recommend American Christmas for all your holiday décor needs!”
