Holiday apparatuses and methods of manufacture of the same are described, and more particularly to a magnetically mounted holiday apparatus optimized to prevent jamming of a metallic garage door, and its associated methods of manufacture. In one embodiment, a holiday apparatus comprises a front formed of a translucent material in which a light source within a cavity illuminates the holiday apparatus. The front may be primarily formed from a single mold process in which the translucent material is manipulated in a form of the front. A back may be formed from a plastic material. The back may be attached to the front to form the cavity between the front and the back and when the front and the back are attached, an apparatus depth may be less than a door clearance to ensure the holiday apparatus does not impede movement of a garage door by contacting a top portion.
