A bit about Merry Co.
Our humble roots trace back to the winter of 2011. It was the warm embrace of a flocked Christmas tree that started it all. Decked with comforting white lights and snow-themed décor, it took us back to treasured childhood memories.
​
Intrigued, we began looking for ways to replicate the effect at home. To our surprise, we found no stores, no online information—nothing about getting flocking at home. So, we decided to create our very own! That’s when our first product, SnoFlock, was born.
​
SnoFlock officially launched in our little eBay store in 2014, and from there, it became a bit of an at-home sensation. We gained instant popularity with DIY enthusiasts and bloggers for its wondrous appeal: you simply shake this powder from a sifter, spray it onto your tree with water, and presto—snow-flocked tips and branches.
​
Ever since SnoFlock, we’ve become increasingly tied to the nostalgia of Christmas. In 2015, we decided to name the company Season’s Reflection, a name inspired by my efforts to reflect the warmth of past seasons. Thus, we became focused on the little things that brought the charm of yesteryear back to the holidays.
​
By 2016, our family had had enough of harsh white LED Christmas lights. They hurt the eyes and were far too yellow or pink—more akin to a runway strip than charming Christmas lights. That’s when we decided to bring back the vintage glow! Starting with extensive research into LED technology, we soon realized that achieving pure warm LED light is no simple feat. It requires a perfect harmony of elements to create a perfectly balanced, rich, warm glow. So, we created our very own LED, which became the hallmark for our new mini light strings.
​
In late 2018, we began working on making our LEDs economical enough for mini light strings and bulbs. It took years of discussions with manufacturers and suppliers to convey the vision we were after: warm, rich colors in classic, traditional envelope. Right around this time, SnoFlock caught the tailwinds of one of the largest flocking trends ever seen. Our humble SnoFlock gained exposure in the most accredited spaces, having been seen in the Mall of America, Better Homes and Gardens, the Kelly Clarkson Show, and HGTV.
It wasn’t until 2021 that we finally found a company that understood our vision. With their expertise in manufacturing, they helped us finalize our line of Yule Multi and VintaClear LED Christmas lights. When we first wired up a string with all the elements and plugged them in, we knew we had captured the Vintage Glow. It was VintaGlo!
​
Officially launched in the fall of 2023, VintaGlo encouraged us to begin transitioning to our new home: Merry Co! With this new vision in mind, we began connecting with people who share the same gripes as we do. And slowly, the word began to spread. But it wasn't until a disenfranchised Christmas-loving Gaming-PC-Lighting-and-Dishwasher-Pod-Disliking YouTuber found our sets that Vintaglo finally got a stage to the world!
The story is not ending, and the future hold more Merry as we continue to seek out more yesteryear charms and Christmas delights to revive with true impressions of their former best selves. For now, we thank you for all the support we’ve received throughout the years, and we cannot wait to share what we have in store!

A warmest Merry Christmas to you and yours,
