Ingersoll Auto of Danbury Annual Christmas Party

1954's White Christmas Movie Theme

December 9, 2019

The annual Ingersoll Christmas party is one of our favorite events to produce. We spend almost an entire year honing in on the chosen theme and bringing it to life as real as possible. Past themes have included the Polar Express, a winter in New York City and How The Grinch Stole Christmas. In 2019, we brought the 1954 classic film White Christmas to life at The Waterview in Monroe, CT. 

As guests entered through the main foyer, they are transported in to the battlefield during World War II where the film begins. Cocktail hour was decorated with sandbags, dynamite and field hospital decor. In the movie, the characters hop on a train to Pine Tree, Vermont for a stay at the Colombia Inn. As the scenery changes from bleak to bright in the film, our decor team transformed the lower and upper floors of the venue respectively.

We also designed the Columbia Inn's reception desk from the ground up, offering vintage candies and room keys. Finally, our design and salon teams worked together to transform our staff into the movie characters themselves, and also a nine-foot-tall Christmas tree!
