The holidays are a fantastic opportunity to capture attention with fun, interactive, and memorable AR experiences. From virtual try-ons to festive contests, here are seven easy AR ideas you can adapt for your brand this season:
1. Create a Viral Holiday Fashion Moment!
Give your customers something to smile about with a fun, branded ugly sweater! Design your own version and launch a social media contest, inviting followers to post themselves “wearing” it virtually. This will boost engagement, spread holiday cheer, and create a memorable branded moment that stands out.
For an added touch, consider using AR texture effects to enhance the design and make it more engaging. Check out this AI AR Sweatshirt for ideas on how to make your holiday sweaters pop!
2. Drive SEO Traffic with a Virtual Try-On Strategy
Get into the search game with virtual try-on experiences tailored to your customers’ holiday shopping needs. Highlight search phrases like “compare frames,” “shop by color,” or “red lipsticks,” to give customers an interactive way to evaluate your products. This strategy will help you rank in holiday searches while helping shoppers find the perfect gift.

3. Attract Foot Traffic with Immersive AR Mirrors
With eye-catching Augmented Reality Mirrors, you can draw customers into your physical store or event space. Options range from compact vanity mirrors to full-size immersive displays. Encourage users to share their experience on social media with branded effects or virtual try-ons, increasing both foot traffic and online engagement.
4. Create an AR Dance Contest
Let your brand’s mascot, influencer, or seasonal character come alive with an AR dance filter! Invite your audience to dance alongside, creating user-generated content that’s perfect for sharing. This festive, light-hearted approach builds connection and keeps your brand top of mind in a fun and memorable way.
5. Drop an Augmented Reality Game
Gamify your customers’ shopping experience with an engaging AR game. Think along the lines of “Stock Up,” where users collect products in a virtual bag. Offer daily discounts or rewards for high scores, driving loyalty while giving your customers a unique holiday experience they can only get from your brand.
6. Personalized Shopping with AR Quizzes
Use AR-powered quizzes to gather insights into customer preferences, making their shopping experience feel tailored just for them. By recommending products based on quiz responses, you’ll create a personalized experience that keeps customers coming back.
7. Augmented Reality Ads
Make the most of your ad budget with Augmented Reality Ads, which are up to 3x more effective than traditional video ads. Use interactive try-ons or AR effects to draw customers in, giving them a hands-on experience that’s both engaging and conversion-boosting.
