Residents of Poughkeepsie will soon have a new destination for holiday shopping as a Spirit Christmas store is set to open at The Shoppes at South Road later this fall. The store, which is an extension of the Spirit Halloween brand, will offer a wide range of holiday decorations, gifts, stocking stuffers, and inflatables.
Shoppers can look forward to exploring the Peppermint Village, an immersive in-store display designed to evoke joy and nostalgia. Additionally, visitors will have the opportunity to take pictures with Santa from November 21 through December 24. According to Poughkeepsie Journal, Spirit Christmas is expanding its presence with 30 locations across the Northeast and Great Lakes regions, including three in New York.
CEO Steven Silverstein stated, "At Spirit, we believe the magic of the season does not end with Halloween — it transforms." The store's opening is part of a broader effort to provide sensory-rich, interactive holiday experiences. Customers can pre-schedule their family photos with Santa by visiting SpiritChristmas.com.
