'Tis the season! Spirit Christmas has officially opened all of its new locations for the holidays.
Spencer Gifts, which owns Spirit Halloween, launched eight Spirit Christmas stores throughout the Northeast in 2024. But in 2025, the company nearly quadrupled the number of locations and opened 30 holiday-themed stores across 12 states in the Northeast and Great Lakes regions.
The stores are a Christmas spinoff of Spencer Gifts' seasonal Spirit Halloween locations.
The Christmas stores will remain open "through the end of the year to help guests celebrate the holiday season," Mary Griswold, a Spencer Gifts spokesperson, previously told USA TODAY. The stores will however be closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas.

What does Spirit Christmas sell?
Fans of the holidays can purchase decorations, apparel, and gifts from the seasonal store.
The store sells Christmas-themed inflatables of famous characters, like a 15-foot light-up Bumble from the Classic Christmas special "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" or a 6-foot light-up Patrick Star, from the Nickelodeon show "SpongeBob SquarePants." Shoppers can also find Santa Claus and nutcracker animatronics.
Holiday-themed stocking stuffers, home decor, drinkware, and more can also be found at the store.
