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. The booth runs for company dinners, office parties and mall campaigns in Malaysia and Singapore.
December is Instamedia's busiest month. A custom IN:FRAME™ Christmas transformation takes 48 to 72 hours to build, so a mid-November brief comfortably keeps a December date open.

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.
Guests step into the custom IN:FRAME™ booth, with studio lighting and a branded backdrop built for your campaign.
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.
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.
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.
The same custom-AI approach ships for other festivals too, including our AI Hari Raya photobooth and AI Feng Shui photobooth. Planning for Raya? See Hari Raya photo booth and office games. 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. See ideas for company dinners and office parties.
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.
Corporate parties
Corporate Christmas Party Photo Booth: Ideas for Company Dinners and Office Parties
One booth zone is enough for a company Christmas or year-end party. Guests step in and the AI turns them into your Christmas character in 15 to 30 seconds. A print comes out with a QR code for the digital copy, under your branded overlay. For 50 to a few hundred guests, place it at reception or beside the bar.
Brief us by mid-November for a December date. A custom Christmas character takes 48 to 72 hours to build.
At the HAYS Year End Party at PARKROYAL KL, one Instabooth 2.0 printed 478 photos across 146 sessions. A second zone, a glass booth, split the 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM dinner rush across two queues instead of one. The theme was disco, not Christmas, but the job is the same: a staff dinner with one queue to manage.
Planning the theme as well? See our annual dinner theme ideas from real Malaysian corporate events, or read the guide in Bahasa Malaysia: tema annual dinner menarik.
Photo zone ideas: AI character, live wall and front-page prints
Three ideas for a company Christmas or year-end party, each with a real job behind it.
A branded AI Christmas character. Guests step in and come out as your mascot, a winter scene or a gift-led visual, with a print and a QR code. The same engine, on other themes, printed 484 photos at the AEON Credit launch, 916 at the 3CE Pink Space launch and 538 at the Maybank film screening.
A live wall beside the booth. A screen next to the booth shows the party as it happens. At HAYS, a glass photo booth (Unveil Glass Booth) recorded 106 guest-drawn videos and replayed them on the event's LED wall.
Front-page prints for an end-of-year edition. The newspaper photo booth turns each guest into the headline of a front page. The AIA Digital Annual Dinner printed 140 of them in one day. Newspaper booths start from RM 4,500 a day.
Add a game or a lucky draw
Christmas party games, lucky draws and gift exchanges usually run on paper and a host. A digital claw machine runs the draw on screen: a win triggers a prize code, and our crew hand over the prize on the spot. A claw machine starts from RM 2,000 a day for the machine and its QR journey, with crew and prizes quoted separately. Our other interactive games, such as Wheel of Fortune, start from RM 6,300 as an add-on to a per-campaign base fee. A branded build takes 48 to 72 hours.
At Sunway Pyramid, the Switch to iPhone claw machine saw 479 prizes won in three days. For a Christmas brief, the Victoria's Secret Christmas game at Pavilion KL, a 3D motion-tracking game on IMX Engine™, engaged 732 people over four days.
Plan the evening: timing, setup and lead time
A company party is one evening, so the plan is short.
- Brief, by mid-November. Send the date, venue, guest count and Christmas theme.
- Build, 48 to 72 hours. Your Christmas character is coded in-house.
- Setup, 2 to 4 hours. Our crew sets up on site, with backup hardware.
- Live. Prints and QR sharing run from the first guest to the last.
If the dinner rush will queue, run two zones, as HAYS did. Outside Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Johor Bahru can be ready in under two weeks, with rush available.
Cost: a one-day booth with a branded overlay is RM 4,500 to RM 7,500. A custom Christmas character moves it to the IN:FRAME™ Custom tier, RM 8,000 to RM 25,000. See the pricing below.
