Easy swaps to make your vacation more sustainable
Reduce waste this holiday season with smart ways to reuse and choose sustainable decorations and gifts.
Spirit Christmas opened all new stores for the holiday season last month. But what does the inside of a seasonal store look like?
Spencer Gift, which owns Spirit Halloween, has opened eight Spirit Christmas stores across the Northeast in 2024. But in 2025, the company nearly quadrupled its store count, opening 30 holiday-themed stores in 12 states, including Illinois, New York and Massachusetts in the Northeast and Great Lakes regions.
These stores are a Christmas spin-off of Spencer Gifts’ seasonal Spirit Halloween stores.
Spencer Gifts spokeswoman Mary Griswold previously told USA TODAY that the Christmas store will remain open through the end of the year “so our guests can celebrate the holiday season.” However, the store will be closed on Christmas.
With less than a week until Christmas, I would like to introduce you to the inside of the store.
