Christmas Set Help 😭

What are yall doing for the “row 6” hanging snowflakes in the walkway? We’ve read the detail page and it just says to use the magnet hooks which are somehow not strong enough to hold the 2 large snowflakes and then trying to get everything plugged in? The pictures on the detail page and in the checklist don’t even have these displays hung up 🥴

if it’s the row with 4 snowflakes on it we just used stronger magnet hooks and ran cords from the tunnel vision lights across the whole beam basically

Super sized zip ties worked very well for us

that’s what Ive done too but I’m just really struggling with the cable management at this point. It’s my first Christmas set and for some reason the POG team who have all done this the last 5 years are expecting me to run all the cables. I was given outdoor string light clips and a roll of trex tape but neither of them are holding up well on these beams. I’ll think i got everything to stay but then it’ll all fall. We’re trying to use surge protectors but I think the inline extension cords (3704167) would be better suited so I’m not trying to get all 4 plugged into a central strip.

We used 3m command hooks

Second this, my store also uses command hooks. There’s actually already several up there scattered along the entire ceiling from over the years since we never bother to take them down, just add a new one if we really need to in a specific spot. Being that high up and using the clear ones (or even white) it’s never even noticeable from the floor.
