Is ‘Spirit Christmas’ Coming to WA?
As someone who loves Halloween I think Spirit Christmas is a fun idea. Get all your Halloween costumes, props, lawn decor, and so much more, all under one roof. That roof is usually the ghost of an old store, but still, that's half the fun. Since they don't have very many stores that sell Halloween stuff all year 'round (though I've heard of a few places that do) Spirit Halloween is the perfect thing for that Halloween season.
But what about Christmas?
Sure, so many stores start putting Christmas items up as early as just before Halloween, but what about pop-up locations that just sell everything you need to have the merriest Christmas ever?
That's exactly what Spirit Christmas is all about.
And, yes, it's real.
From the guys behind Spirit Halloween they now have Spirit Christmas.
Decorations, stocking stuffers, gifts, ornaments... All the Christmas.
It seem like they're doing more of a 'toe-in-the-water' campaign to see how well it could work as they don't have many stores across the United States. Not nearly as many as they do for Spirit Halloween.
Maybe they're just out to see if it's a viable plan and if it could work well enough to have more Spirit Christmas stores pop up in other locations.
One guy found one and gave a quick tour on his Facebook page.
Right now the Spirit Christmas website is a page from the Spirit Halloween website so it's definitely in trial-mode.
As of this time they only have 8 locations listed, mostly in New Jersey, with a couple in New York and in Pennsylvania.
This year, I wouldn't see Spirit Christmas making its way to Washington State, but if those locations do well I could definitely see some opening up in Washington and in the old Spirit Halloween locations, trading one for the other.
We'll see in 2025.
