AI photo booth for Christmas and year-end activations

Christmas Photo Booth for Malaysia Brand Activations

Custom AI photo booths themed for Christmas and year-end campaigns, built in-house on the IN:FRAME™ platform for malls, corporate parties and retail launches across Malaysia.

December is Instamedia's busiest month. A custom IN:FRAME™ Christmas transformation typically takes 2 to 4 weeks to build, so a mid-November brief comfortably keeps a December date open.

What it is

Not a Rented Filter. Built In-House Since 2012.

A Christmas photo booth from Instamedia runs on IN:FRAME™, the same custom AI photo booth platform we have built in-house since 2012, not a rented template with someone else's filters on it.

Here is what happens at the booth: a guest steps in, the booth captures a photo, and IN:FRAME™ runs it through IMX Engine™'s proprietary cloud-rendering pipeline. A branded, AI-transformed image comes out in 15 to 30 seconds, ready to print and share by QR code. No app, no login.

The platform is the same one behind our AI photo booth in Malaysia, themed for a Christmas or year-end brief instead of an everyday activation.

How it works

Capture, Transform, Print, Share

The same four steps run whether the campaign is a mall Christmas takeover or a single evening year-end party.

1. Capture

Guests step into the custom IN:FRAME™ booth, with studio lighting and a branded backdrop built for your campaign.

2. AI Transform

IMX Engine™ applies your Christmas AI character or brand themed transformation in real time, the same engine behind Maybank's Captain America face swap and YSL's fragrance themed character swap.

3. Print and Share

Dye-sublimation prints in 2R, 4R, A4 or A3 formats. Every photo carries a unique QR code so guests can save and share it by WhatsApp, Instagram or email, with no app or login.

4. Display

A live social wall can show every photo as guests join in, if your venue wants one, while IMX Analytics tracks engagement in the background.

Christmas styles

Christmas AI Styles, Built for Your Brand

A Christmas AI photo booth is not a menu of stock filters. Every deployment gets its own AI character or scene, coded in-house for that campaign.

Your Own Christmas Character

A custom-trained AI model built around your brand's Christmas theme, whether that is a winter scene, a gift-led visual or your own campaign mascot, not a stock filter.

On-Brand Overlays and Frames

Overlays, frames and branded stickers are built from scratch to match your campaign's colours and Christmas art direction.

Proven on Festive Campaigns

IN:FRAME™ has already run a festive family portrait style AI transformation for Genting's Chinese New Year celebration, the same engine adapted to a different festival.

Before and after: a real IN:FRAME™ transformation from the 3CE Pink Space launch. The same engine builds a Christmas themed character or scene for your campaign.

The same custom-AI approach ships for other festivals too, including our AI Hari Raya photobooth and AI Feng Shui photobooth. Need a non-AI enclosed booth instead? See our full photo booth rental range for Malaysia.

Where this runs

Three Christmas and Year-End Formats

Mall Christmas Campaigns

We coordinate directly with the mall's own AV team, the way we already work with Pavilion KL, Suria KLCC, Sunway Pyramid and Mid Valley, so the booth is calibrated and ready before doors open on the campaign's first day.

Corporate Year-End Party

The same IN:FRAME™ engine runs for a single evening: one AI transformation, instant prints and a QR share so the photo becomes part of every guest's own year-end recap.

Retail Festive Launch

For a festive store launch or in-store campaign, the booth sits on the retail floor itself, running a custom AI character trained to that campaign rather than a rented template.

Instamedia has also delivered a Christmas activation for a retail brand before: Victoria's Secret's Pavilion KL store opening ran a 3D motion-tracking Christmas game on IMX Engine™, not a photo booth, where guest movement triggered festive on-screen visuals for 732 people across 4 days. The same festive brief, built on IN:FRAME™ instead, is what a Christmas photo booth looks like.

FAQ

Christmas Photo Booth FAQ

A corporate year-end dinner is typically a single-evening booth built around one Christmas AI transformation. Tell us your venue and guest count and we recommend a format.
