It's not just a Christmas Shop... It's an experience!
For over 50 years, we have welcomed visitors from near and far, helping them discover the magic of The Christmas Shop. Originally opened in 1967, the shop has been growing, evolving, and spreading holiday sparkle ever since.
Step into a world of gifts, garlands, and glittering lights galore. Looking for something special for the person who has everything? You’ll find ornaments for every hobby, occupation, milestone, and passion—from fishermen and Disney lovers to dancers, photographers, and more.
Across 25,000 square feet of wonder, you can browse thousands of Christmas ornaments and holiday décor, alongside beautifully curated coastal décor and one-of-a-kind Outer Banks treasures that bring the spirit of the shoreline into your home year-round.
Only a few miles from the sea, The Christmas Shop is filled with coastal-inspired soaps, fragrances, shells, sea life accents, and thoughtfully designed home décor that reflects the beauty of the Outer Banks.
Our General Store is a food lover’s paradise, featuring candy, fudge, and chocolate, along with locally sourced coffees, salsas, sauces, chips, and more—perfect for gifting or enjoying during your stay.
For a family-friendly stop along the way, enjoy a relaxed space filled with beach toys, games, and playful finds that make it easy for kids to explore while you shop.
Looking for a great way to unwind during your visit? Join us for our in-store wine tastings, featuring rotating selections of unique varietals and seasonal favorites—a relaxed way to sip, discover, and enjoy something new.
When you visit The Christmas Shop you’ll find ornaments and gifts that capture your Outer Banks memories for years to come. Many families begin their collection here, including “baby’s first” ornaments, and we offer free personalization on all ornaments.
