The vibrant reds and greens of Christmas parade floats<\/a> instantly set a festive mood, but what else do you need to make your holiday parade floats truly shine? Here are our top five essentials for creating a fabulous holiday float this season:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

1. Trees<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Nothing embodies the holiday spirit quite like Christmas trees and evergreens<\/a>. They symbolize hope and joy, making them a staple for any Christmas parade float. When selecting trees, consider the trailer size and weight limits. If real trees are too heavy or don\u2019t fit your design, opt for lightweight plastic or colorful cardboard standups. For a non-traditional touch, our stunning Lit Trees come with metallic floral sheeting to captivate your audience and enhance your float’s overall aesthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Snow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Dreaming of a white Christmas? Make it a reality with a snowy landscape on your Christmas parade floats. Our Snow Floral Sheeting<\/a> (available in iridescent options) makes dressing your trailer bed quick and easy. Sprinkle artificial snow over other decorations to create a winter wonderland vibe that delights spectators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Lights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Add some sparkle to your holiday parade floats with plenty of lights! To simplify your setup, use Flex Lights, which are designed for outdoor use and won\u2019t malfunction in inclement weather. Illuminate major design elements like trees and backdrops, and outline structures like gingerbread houses for visibility during twilight. Consider adding fairy lights, strobes, or projections to amplify the festive atmosphere\u2014after all, the more lights, the merrier!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Costumed Characters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Bring the magic of the season to life by populating your Christmas parade floats with delightful characters like Santa, elves, and reindeer. Cardboard standups<\/a> are an affordable way to add vibrant, lightweight figures to your float. For an interactive touch, include live performers dressed as these beloved characters, especially if your float features a Santa\u2019s workshop theme<\/a>. This will surely elevate the holiday spirit among young parade-goers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
