The largest feature is a nine-metre-tall Christmas tree, but there is also presents, candy canes, baubles, stars and an oversized bow.

Footage of the stunning light display has been shared to TikTok, quickly going viral with more than 120,000 views and 14,000 likes.

Many TikTok users were quick to ask why their local Bunnings didn’t look the same.

‘Why does my local Bunnings not look like this,’ one user asked.

‘Oh that’s from the commercial! That’s exciting to see in real life,’ another user commented.

‘WHY DID I GET OVERWHELMED WITH JOY?’ Another woman said. 

‘They should all look like this,’ one woman wrote.

The festive display was launched on November 27, using only carbon offset via GreenFleet as energy, B&T reports.

A launch event was live-streamed on the Bunnings YouTube channel to mark the official beginning of the festive season.

General Manager of Marketing at Bunnings said it was a great way to show community spirit after such a tough year.

‘There is something a little bit magic about seeing houses sprinkled with lights and it’s a lovely way to create community spirit, so what better way for Bunnings to kick off the Christmas season than to light up a warehouse!’ He said.

Commercial and experiential agency Bastion EBA helped put the activation together.

Head of Brand Experience Lizzie McManus said: ‘We are thrilled to kick off the start of the festive season with this happy Christmas activation for such an iconic Australian brand in Bunnings.

‘Our aim was to create an impactful, joyful and fun event that could be shared with Aussies at home, via the live stream, as well as those who were able to see the Bunnings warehouse light up in person.’
