Buy a Christmas Decor Franchise

Christmas Decor is a professional holiday decorating franchise that designs, installs, maintains, and removes Christmas and seasonal lighting displays for residential and commercial clients. Founded in 1986 in Lubbock, Texas and franchising since 1996, the brand serves a largely affluent residential customer base alongside commercial properties, with annual consultations and displays built out over multiple seasons.

The business runs on a territory-based, seasonal model. Many franchisees come from landscaping and other green-industry backgrounds and add Christmas Decor to offset slow winter months, keep crews employed year-round, and cross-sell existing customers. Christmas Decor Inc. is part of The Decor Group, whose sister brands Nite Time Decor (landscape lighting) and PermaLites 365 (permanent commercial lighting) let owners extend the business beyond the holidays.

With around 300 franchise territories across the United States and Canada, Christmas Decor is one of the most established names in professional holiday lighting. It differentiates through proprietary commercial-grade, UL-rated products, structured design and electrical-safety training, and protected market areas, supported from its Irving, Texas headquarters.

Why buy a Christmas Decor Franchise?

Buying a Christmas Decor franchise means entering a recognised, long-established brand in a niche that has grown steadily as homeowners and businesses turn to professionals for elaborate, safely installed displays. The seasonal model concentrates most revenue into the fourth quarter, which suits owners who already run a spring-and-summer outdoor business and want to keep staff and equipment productive in winter.

The franchise’s place within The Decor Group is a practical advantage: owners can layer in landscape and permanent commercial lighting through sister brands to build year-round income rather than depending on a single season. Franchisees also gain protected territories, proprietary product sourcing, a dedicated Franchise Consultant, and systems refined across more than two decades and roughly 300 territories.

Christmas Decor – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    New franchisees complete 38.5 hours of classroom training covering design, electrical safety, installation technique, and business operations, with annual continuing education thereafter. Each franchise is assigned a dedicated Franchise Consultant as its main support contact, backed by corporate marketing, product development, customer-service, and technology teams providing lead-generation tools, proprietary sales and customer-management software, and product sourcing. Resale buyers should confirm with Christmas Decor what onboarding and system access transfer to incoming ownership and the training status of any crew they inherit.

  2. Ideal Owner

    Christmas Decor suits hands-on local operators comfortable selling, building customer relationships, and managing seasonal crews under tight holiday deadlines. No decorating experience is required, but a background in landscaping, property maintenance, or another outdoor service business is a natural fit, since many owners run it alongside an existing seasonal company. The model rewards owners who enjoy design and project coordination, hold high standards for safety and finish, and can recruit and lead temporary labour through an intense fourth-quarter push. It can be run hands-on or semi-absentee with a capable crew.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Christmas Decor has been named one of Entrepreneur magazine's Top Franchises for Less Than $50,000, ranking #48 on the underlying Franchise 500 scoring, and is widely cited as a leading national holiday-lighting franchise. With around 300 territories across the United States and Canada and customers who return season after season, its recognition rests on scale and service reputation. The long-running Decorated Family Program, past its twentieth season decorating the homes of deployed military families, adds community goodwill. Resale buyers should weigh brand recognition alongside a territory's local reviews and referral strength.

  4. Industry / Market

    Professional holiday lighting sits within a growing North American market. North America holds roughly 48% of an estimated $8.75 billion global holiday-lights-installation market in 2025, the largest regional share, expanding about 4.9% a year per industry research. Demand is driven by rising disposable incomes, the appeal of elaborate displays, and homeowners' preference for professional, safely installed lighting. Permanent and smart-controlled lighting is extending the category beyond the holidays. The business is highly seasonal, so resale buyers should weigh how a territory's revenue concentrates in the fourth quarter.
