Window display 2

Hudson's Bay Enchanted Forest.
Yesterday we saw some geese all fancied up with lovely bows for the season. not me, but someone noticed they were even wearing shoes.
this time the little rascal (squirrels) got into the festive mood.
I googled the Enchanted Forest and found out how much time and work went into these displays. if interested, please read on.

This year, Hudson’s Bay’s iconic holiday windows invite customers into an Enchanted Forest with five distinct windows along Queen Street. Each of the five animated windows depicts scenes of a winter wonderland filled with 34 hand-sculpted spirited holiday animals. Over 350 square feet of LED walls enhance each vignette. The flagship’s façade will feature mixed garland, foliage, twinkling lights and cheerful holiday music, completing the magical display.

“The holidays are such a magical time in the city,” said Liz Rodbell, President, Hudson’s Bay. “We know that visiting the windows along Queen Street has been a long-standing tradition for so many Torontonians. We are thrilled to unveil our five Enchanted Forest windows, which are sure to delight young and old alike.”

Set at various times throughout the day, each of the five windows showcase an imaginative fantasy of how friends and family in the forest spend the holidays. Bunnies ice-skating on a pond; mice frolicking atop a bear covered in snow, and a mother owl protecting her newborn babies are some of the scenarios passersby will encounter.

Designing and building Hudson’s Bay’s holiday windows was a nine-month process that began in March 2016. A team of 73 people have spent more than 35,360 hours perfecting every detail.

Meticulous attention was paid to each element, with more than 8,150 square feet of brown Kraft paper and 27 gallons of glue used in the creation of the artificial trees alone. The animals and snow mounds were created from more than 1,300 cubic square feet of foam.
