Is Texas Getting A Spirit Christmas Store This Year?

Over the last couple of decades, thousands of East Texans have come to count on Spirit Halloween for their Halloween costumes and decorations. Will they soon come to count on Spirit Christmas for their holiday decorations too?

Just like clockwork, when late August and early September roll around, Spirit Halloween stores begin to pop up and occupy retail space that was vacated by another retailer.

These pop-up Spirit Halloween stores sell everything you need to create a frightful, scary, and fun Halloween. From decorations to lighting, animatronics, costumes, and all the Halloween decor you can imagine.

As soon as Halloween is over, prices are slashed and nearly everything is sold and the store closes up until next year.

What if there was a place that did Christmas like Spirit Halloween does Halloween?

Well, there just may be in the future because Spirit Halloween is expanding to include Christmas. This year they're testing out a new concept by opening Spirit Christmas stores.

10 Spirit Christmas Stores will open soon

"Visit us this fall for a unique holiday shopping experience. Get your family photos with Santa while exploring aisles full of Christmas magic", states the new website.

Spirit Christmas looks to sell stocking stuffers, holiday apparel, fun gifts, unique decor, inflatables, lights, and special trimmings so that you may create an unforgettable Christmas.

The first location will open on October 18th in Mays Landing, New Jersey (People Magazine) with nine other locations opening around the Northeast in early November.
