At the beginning of February, the Messe in Frankfurt once again provided a few days of accommodation for Christmasworld, Ambiente and Creativeworld. The more than 4,600 exhibitors from over 170 countries attracted approximately 148,000 visitors to the three trade fairs; 8,000 more than in 2024. In addition to networking and placing orders, they mainly came to gather inspiration and discover the latest trends and innovations in the field of consumer goods and seasonal decorations – and they were not disappointed, because there were beautiful displays and beautiful new products to see. The satisfaction of visitors and exhibitors was therefore high.
The three themes of responsibility, connection, and optimism defined the trends of 2025: Deep, Real, and Ease, emphasizing sustainability and both traditional and innovative techniques. In addition to Christmas decorations, there were also many seasonal decorations on display, offering retailers even more inspiration for the entire year. The presentation of Decoration Unlimited – designed by 2Dezign – also provided inspiring ideas for large-scale design and was once again a visitor magnet. Additionally, we saw a large silk offering at Christmasworld, with many beautiful vases and pots, as well as innovative retail solutions. Next year, Ambiente and Christmasworld will take place from February 6 to 10.
