Christmas photo inspiration to boost your holiday sales

With the holiday season just around the corner, it’s time to start prepping your festive promo content. As soon as the mince pies appear on supermarket shelves, it’s a sign: let’s “Christmasify” those product pics to help your business shine during this peak selling period.

Here’s how to bring festive cheer to your photoshoots and create images that drive sales.

Festive Flatlay

Flatlays are one of the quickest ways to get multiple shots. Set up your camera or phone on an overhead stand to easily swap out products, backgrounds, and props. This method works especially well for smaller products like jewellery, stationery, or beauty items. A well-curated flatlay with festive touches instantly grabs attention and gives you variety without a ton of extra work.

Merry Mantelpiece

If you’ve got a mantelpiece at home, use it to showcase smaller items like holiday cards, ornaments, or small gift products. The cosy vibe of a fireplace backdrop is perfect for holiday-themed shots, making products feel warm and inviting. Play with props like mini stockings or fairy lights to bring out that holiday spirit.

Treemendous

Nothing says Christmas like a decorated tree. If you’ve got one tucked away, bring it out and let it work its magic. Place products as if they’re gifts under the tree, or hold a few branches in the foreground to create a subtle festive frame. This setup is ideal for items meant as gifts, helping customers picture them under their own tree.
