Spirit Christmas Stores Are Popping Up in Abandoned Bed, Bath & Beyonds: What to Know and How to Find One

Here's how to find the new holiday-themed spinoff stores from the minds behind Spirit Halloween

Spirit Halloween's jolly new companion stores are up and running!

Several Spirit Christmas stores opened for business this week after the company behind Spirit Halloween first announced in October that some of its pop-up shops would be staying open through December and transforming into holiday superstores.

According to the seasonal company's website, eight of its 10 previously proposed storefronts have opened thus far selling holiday supplies, decorations, clothing and more goodies.

“Each store offers a unique shopping experience, brimming with a vast assortment of holiday décor, apparel, inflatables, gifts, and stocking stuffers,” a spokesperson for Spirit Halloween told PEOPLE of the new pop-ups back in October.

Where are Spirit Christmas stores located?

Spirit Christmas' website states that the majority of its locations will be in the Northeast, including in Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey.

So far, stores have opened in Dartmouth, Mass., Brick Township, N.J., Marlton, N.J., Mays Landing, N.J., Woodbridge, N.J., Bohemia, N.Y., Poughkeepsie, N.Y. and Erie, Penn.

Similar to how Spirit Halloween operates, several of the newly-opened shops are located in empty locations of other stores — including defunct Bed, Bath & Beyonds and old Christmas Tree Shops. Several will be taking over spaces that were previously Spirit Halloweens.

The company has said that two more locations are set to open in Waterford, Conn. and Albany, N.Y. All of the pop-ups will stay open through the holiday season.

Customers can check out the store's maps and locations on Spirit Christmas' website.

What does Spirit Christmas sell?

“Each store offers a unique shopping experience, brimming with a vast assortment of holiday décor, apparel, inflatables, gifts, and stocking stuffers,” a spokesperson for Spirit Halloween told PEOPLE in October.

That includes tons of holiday-themed products, including clothing for adults, children and pets — such as holiday sweaters, Santa Claus suits and elf costumes.

The store carries "1000s of stocking stuffers," and according to photos on its website, will include ornaments, baking supplies and decor. The store has also marked many of its items as ideal white elephant gifts.

According to local news outlets Greater Long Island and the Poughkeepsie Journal, which cover the regions where stores have opened, some shops feature an "Inflatable Land," full of blow-up decorations that families can explore in-store, as well as a section of "Creepmas" products — Christmas decorations with a spooky twist — in an homage to the store's original concept.

Videos on social media show that the "Creepmas" products feature sweaters, jewelry, decorations and more designed with characters like monsters and Halloween-y creatures — including The Nightmare Before Christmas' Jack Skellington and the mythical Krampus — wearing Christmas apparel alongside slogans like "Merry Creepmas," "Deck the Horror" and "Krampus Is Coming to Town."

Other more traditionally festive product pay homage to some classic Christmas movies, like A Christmas Story and Home Alone.

How can you meet Santa Claus at Spirit Christmas?

Each of the new Sprit Christmas locations offers families and kids the chance to meet Santa Claus and pose for photos in scheduled meet-and-greet sessions.

According to the company's website, kids can meet St. Nick and pose for a free digital postcard against a festive backdrop. Time slots can be reserved online, with most locations opening up their Santa sessions on Black Friday, Nov. 29.

In addition to meeting Father Christmas himself, Spirit Halloween visitors also have the chance to explore life-sized attractions like "Gingerbread Lane," where guests can interact with characters from the Gingerbread Village. Everyone has the opportunity to drop a letter to Santa into the mailbox at the in-store North Pole Post Office, the outlets report.

How long will Spirit Christmas be open?

Spirit Halloween — owned by Spencer's Gifts — confirmed that the unique holiday storefronts will remain open through the end of the holiday season, presumably after January 1, though they did not give a specific closing date.
