Spirit Christmas opened all of its new locations for the holidays last month. But how do the seasonal stores look inside?

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, including Illinois, New York, Massachusetts, and more, 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 Christmas.

As Christmas is less than a week away, here's a look inside the stores.
