Why Holiday Events Are Going Interactive: The Growing Demand for Photobooths and Video Keepsakes
Holiday events are changing, and the shift is easy to spot. Across Toronto, Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, and Guelph, hosts are moving away from passive entertainment and choosing experiences that invite guests to participate. This season, interactive elements like photobooths and video keepsakes are no longer extras. They are becoming essential parts of modern holiday celebrations.
Yes! Guests love being in the moment, at that moment!
Guests Want to Be Part of the Moment
Today’s guests want more than a seat at the table. They want to laugh, create, and feel included. Photobooths answer that need perfectly. They give people something fun to do between conversations and meals, and they naturally pull groups together. Friends lean in, families gather, coworkers loosen up. The result is shared laughter and energy that spreads across the room. This is why interactive setups are now seen as core experiences rather than optional add ons.
Video Keepsakes Are Replacing Traditional Guest Books
Another growing trend is the rise of video keepsakes. Instead of writing a quick note, guests record messages filled with personality, humor, and emotion. Hearing voices and seeing expressions years later adds a depth that written messages cannot match. During the holidays, these recordings feel even more meaningful, capturing gratitude, joy, and connection in real time. Video guest books are becoming popular because they preserve how moments felt, not just what was said.
Photos make for the best keepsakes—digital or print!
Interactive Experiences Create Better Memories
Hosts are also thinking long term. A successful holiday event is one people remember and talk about afterward. Interactive experiences help make that happen. Guests leave with printed photos, digital clips, and recorded messages they can share with friends and family. For companies, this also means stronger engagement and positive memories tied to the brand. For families, it means keepsakes that live on well beyond the season.
This shift toward interaction reflects a bigger change in how people celebrate. The focus is no longer just on décor or schedules. It is on connection, experience, and memory making. Photobooths and video keepsakes fit perfectly into that mindset, offering fun in the moment and meaning in the long run.
At Vivid Curiosity Productions, we have seen this trend grow season after season. Holiday events feel more alive when guests are part of the story, not just watching it unfold.
Secure your holiday event experience today and let Vivid Curiosity Productions bring interactive moments your guests will love and remember long after the season ends.
