Move over, Santa—there’s a new trend in town that’s making spirits bright all year round: Christmas decoration stores that stay open 365 days a year! Yes, you heard that right. These festive wonderlands aren’t just for December anymore. Year round Christmas stores are popping up everywhere and spreading holiday cheer whenever you need it most.
The Decorator’s Warehouse in Arlington, TX, is a great example. Owners Kathy and David Hanson launched their business from their living room in 1989, and today it’s grown into a 60,000-square-foot brick-and-mortar store. Inside, themed sections let customers shop for the exact style they’re after—like Santa’s Sweet Shoppe, filled with realistic, delicious-looking ornaments, or the Farmhouse Christmas area, perfect for bringing home a bit of Texas charm. Shoppers can also stop by Dasher Pie Co., the in-store café, to enjoy coffee and pie for a caffeine or sugar boost along the way. Let’s unwrap the magic behind the rising popularity of these year-round Christmas havens.
