Christmas Props for Television, Film & Photoshoots

Bespoke and Established Christmas Props, Made for the Camera

We manufacture Christmas props for television shows, festive specials, film sets, advertising campaigns and photoshoots.

From snowflakes, snowballs and giant baubles to branded features and completely bespoke creations, props can be produced around the required shot, set dimensions and production date.

We specialise in cost-effective, lightweight polystyrene props, which can often be manufactured within relatively short production times. Our polystyrene contains a flame-retarding additive, and additional flame-resistant coatings and finishes are available where required. We also work with wood, cardboard, fibreglass and mixed-material construction where the design or intended use calls for it.

Send us your artwork, dimensions, reference images or creative brief and we’ll recommend a practical way to manufacture it.

Christmas props for television productions

Christmas television requires an immediate and recognisable visual identity. The right props can transform a studio area, establish the season in a single shot and provide scale around presenters, performers and guests.

We manufacture physical props and display components for use within your production team's set design. This can include:

  • Christmas television specials
  • Daytime and entertainment programmes
  • Seasonal news and magazine segments
  • Game and quiz shows
  • Children's television
  • Music performances
  • Promotional trailers and idents
  • Studio interviews and branded content
  • Location filming
  • Online and social productions

Props may be designed for a wide establishing shot, positioned behind presenters, handled during a segment or produced as a focal point for a particular scene.

We manufacture and deliver the physical pieces ready for your production or set-dressing team to use. We do not provide complete set design or installation.

Bring Christmas to the set

Large baubles, suspended snowflakes, snowballs, trees and sculpted features can communicate Christmas immediately without overwhelming the people, products or action in front of the camera.

Purpose-made Christmas props can help you:

  • Establish a Christmas setting immediately
  • Create depth and scale across the set
  • Frame presenters, performers or featured products
  • Coordinate with an established set and lighting palette
  • Fill large studio spaces without excessive weight
  • Create a recognisable focal point for a seasonal segment
  • Support wide shots and closer camera compositions
  • Achieve strong visual impact within a practical production budget

Colours, dimensions and finishes can be adjusted around the creative direction and intended camera position.

Bespoke props made for the shot

When the established range isn't the right fit, we can manufacture original Christmas props from production drawings, vector artwork, set plans, sketches, reference photographs, suitable 3D files, mood boards or written creative briefs.

This might include:

  • Branded Christmas decorations
  • Oversized product replicas
  • Custom festive characters
  • Scenic shapes and structures
  • Large lettering and logos
  • Presenter or performer props
  • Statement pieces for a particular segment
  • Coordinated families of props
  • Features designed around a specific camera composition

We focus on practical display-grade manufacture. If a brief requires specialist mechanics, structural engineering, animatronics or exceptionally detailed model-making beyond our capabilities, we will say so.

Fixed production dates and short lead times

Studio bookings, rehearsals, shoot dates and broadcasts are usually immovable. We will give you an honest assessment of what can be manufactured within the available time.

The most useful information to supply at the start is:

  • Overall dimensions and quantity
  • Camera distance and intended shots
  • Reference images or artwork
  • Required colours and finish
  • Handling requirements

  • Delivery address and access requirements
  • Available budget

For urgent enquiries, providing this information immediately allows us to assess the job and respond much more quickly.

Lightweight props for busy studios

Expanded polystyrene is particularly useful for large television and production props. It allows substantial pieces to be manufactured without the weight associated with many traditional materials.

Lightweight props can be easier for production teams to carry into the studio, position between segments, suspend where appropriate, rearrange during a set change, transport between locations and store for later use.

Where a different surface, greater strength or additional detail is required, we can also manufacture using wood, cardboard, board, plastics, papier-mache, fibreglass and mixed-material construction.

Bases, hanging points and fixing arrangements can be considered around the intended use. Final positioning, suspension and installation remain the responsibility of the production or set-dressing team.

Advertising, film and photoshoots

Alongside television work, we manufacture Christmas props for:

  • Advertising campaigns
  • Product photography
  • Fashion and editorial shoots
  • Film sets
  • Theatre and stage productions
  • Music and promotional videos
  • Social content
  • Agency pitches and displays

Props can be produced for close-up photography, background use, repeated handling or a single short-lived scene.

Bespoke colours, proportions and finishes allow the physical pieces to support the creative concept rather than forcing the production to work around a limited hire inventory.
