Christmas Decor, the holiday decor and Christmas light installation franchise with over 300 locations across the country, originated as an off-season supplement to an existing landscaping business. Now, the Texas-based franchise is backed by a strong business model and has seen a double-digit revenue increase year-over-year for more than a decade.

“There has been a great demand which has led to continual and impressive growth for the brand,” commented Brandon Stephens, president of Christmas Decor. “It’s a solid business that can lead to big returns.”

So, how much can a prospective Christmas Decor franchisee expect to make? According to the brand’s 2023 FDD and Item 19, the average gross revenue for Christmas Decor franchise units in 2023 was $399,993 with the highest gross revenue reported to be $5,809,076.

The opportunity to make a multi-million dollar revenue comes at a fairly low cost; franchisees have the opportunity to take advantage of this lucrative model with an initial investment of between $23,550 and $110,250. This low buy-in cost paired with Christmas Decor’s overall success earned the brand a spot on the list of top 50 franchises for under $50,000 by Entrepreneur Magazine.

A Seasonal Supplement Opportunity

For existing business owners in the landscaping and outdoor industries, starting a Christmas Decor franchise is a great way to offset fixed overhead costs, retain employees year-round and diversify revenue streams. This scalable model works regardless of the number of people on your initial team and allows outdoor business owners the potential for crossover clients while earning capital to invest in their core business.

“Generally, a franchisee will go to a house to sell a Christmas service, and end up also cross-selling their pest control services or landscaping,” explained Stephens. “This helps them create a very economically resilient client base.”

In addition to the ability to generate wealth, franchising with Christmas Decor is quite rewarding. “We are offering a service that people want, are willing to pay for, and it puts a smile on their face. There’s joy in the service we provide,” said Stephens. “We are also creating jobs by extending landscaping and outdoor services year-round. We are avoiding laying people off, which is incredible.”

Experienced franchisee investors can also take advantage of an opportunity to diversify their portfolio with other brands under The Decor Group. For example, sister brands Nite Time Decor, PermaLites and Decor Smart are available as part of the franchise package, enabling franchisees to operate a year-round business. Nite Time Decor, a low voltage landscape lighting brand, provides contractors with everything they need, including tools, training, support and products.

Now, Christmas Decor is looking to grow in markets across the U.S. and Canada.
