Yes, it’s almost that time of year again. 70 days to be exact. Christmas that is, and with that the madness of Christmas shopping and brands fighting for the attention of consumers. Check out our top five Christmas Brand Experiences, to provide you with some inspiration to creatively capture the festive season in a fun and immersive way.

Shopping for a new winter jacket? To launch their new McMurdo range, North Face in Korea, created a shopping experience to remember! The pop-shop was transformed to give shoppers an opportunity to experience South Pole through virtual reality. However, to their surprise the real experience only began when the VR headset was removed and they were pulled through a makeshift wall and around the shopping mall by real life huskies, providing them an opportunity to grab themselves a McMurdo product.
