Harvey Nichols – 2021
Last year’s Harvey Nichols display was called ‘Let there be light’. Featuring a series of lit-up stars suspended in the air, representing hope and optimism during these dark times; this stunning display was sure to catch the eye of passers-by.

John Lewis – 2013
The John Lewis display from 2013 was based on the advert which told the story of a bear who stays up all winter waiting for Christmas. He befriends a hare who helps him understand the importance of taking time to enjoy the moment, rather than just rushing through to the next thing. This touching story is brought to life through animals who have been made with household products. Reindeer were made out of dustpans and brushes, and bunnies were crafted with hair straighteners!

Selfridges – 2014
Selfridges always goes all out for their Christmas window displays and their 2014 take on Sleeping Beauty was no exception. The result was an ethereal display that transported viewers to another world. The Selfridges’ display of this iconic fairytale was golden… quite literally! There was a glittering golden spider’s web, from which impossibly high heeled shoes were hung. A brightly lit spinning wheel slowly turned, and everything was painted gold. Christmas magic!

Fortnum and Mason – 2021
Fortnum and Mason’s 2021 Advent calendar window display was a festive delight. Featuring 24 windows, each with its own little scene behind it; as you counted down the days until Christmas, you could also count down the windows until you reached the big day.

Harrods – 2015
Harrods always puts on a grand spectacle for their Christmas windows. In 2015, they treated viewers to a puppet show featuring an array of colourful characters. The puppets were brought to life by over 100 strings, making them dance and clamour around the windows.
