Step into a Festive Wonderland at Olympia London

There’s nothing quite like the Ideal Home Show Christmas to kick off the season in style. From 26–30 November 2025, Olympia London is transformed into a twinkling wonderland brimming with the scents, sights, and sounds of Christmas. It’s the UK’s biggest indoor Christmas shopping event – a one-stop festive spectacular where visitors arrive ready to shop, be inspired, and immerse themselves in the holiday spirit.

For exhibitors, this is an unrivalled opportunity to be right at the heart of the festive buzz, connecting with an audience that’s not just browsing – they’re primed to buy.

A Festive Atmosphere that Sells Itself
Visitors come for the magic, and they stay for the shopping. Exhibitors consistently highlight the unique buzz and exceptional footfall at the Ideal Home Show Christmas. “You get greater exposure and ten times the amount of footfall compared to smaller shows. Looking forward to the next year,” says Toby from Toby’s Glass. Simon from Pics on Canvas agrees: “The show is absolutely great for us. We get a constant flow of customers throughout the day, really great sales.”

For visitors, it’s a chance to be inspired and to shop to their hearts’ content. As one visitor put it, “The variety of stands and the whole festive vibe makes it such a magical day out. I find gifts for everyone on my list and can shop for hours!”

Showcasing in Style
The show is more than just a shopping destination – it’s a space where brands can truly shine. Anthony Strange, Product Development Manager at Laura Ashley, shared: “The Show Home gives a better showcase of the brand. It gives visitors a ‘stop and look’ opportunity so it’s been really positive. And I think the way it looks and the space we have along with the products we get to showcase is a testament to the brand.”

The four distinct sections – Christmas Home, Gifts, Decorations, and the Eat & Drink Festival – ensure that every exhibitor finds the perfect setting to showcase their festive offerings.

Turning Browsers into Buyers
It’s not just about showcasing – it’s about sparking genuine engagement. Louise Robson, Event Manager at Kitchen Aid, described the experience: “The footfall has been non-stop all day. It’s nice for consumers to get to approach our stand and get hands on so they get to see how it works, how easy it is to clean and refill. It’s definitely directed more people to our website too.”

For visitors, this hands-on approach creates an even more memorable experience. One visitor sums it up perfectly: “It is the perfect way to get into the Christmas spirit – I leave feeling so inspired and filled with festive ideas.”

A Shared Festive Spirit
For exhibitors, being part of the Ideal Home Show Christmas isn’t just about sales – it’s about joining in the season’s magic and creating experiences that last far beyond the five days of the show. It’s this unique atmosphere that makes the Ideal Home Show Christmas such an essential event for both brands and visitors alike.
