Spirit Christmas Gears to Set Up Its First Store in Albany

The air is finally getting cold, which means the holiday season is upon us. Halloween is the first to hit us, which means Spirit Halloweens are going to start popping up everywhere.

While most people know Spirit for their Halloween stores, that's not the only holiday they support, and one of their newest is heading to Albany very soon...

Spirit Christmas

That's right! Spirit will be opening their first Spirit Christmas location in Albany! The store began in 2024, bringing holiday cheer in the same fashion that they've brought frights and fears for all these years.

From festive décor to ugly Christmas sweaters, it's your one stop shop for everything festive. They've even got massive animatronics, like the Snow Miser and Heat Miser, for your front yard. They'll also be selling Christmas trees to get your living room ready for Santa's descent on the biggest night of the year.

Where is Albany's Location?

Albany's Spirit Christmas will be located at Colonie Center, inside the mall on the opposite end of Wolf Road. The official address is 131 Colonie Center, Albany, NY 12205.

The shop will open in the first week of November, giving them time to transition from Halloween to Christmas.

Whatever you're looking for this Holiday Season, Spirit Christmas is sure to have it. As always, even without a purchase, a visit to one of these locations is sure to get you in the holiday spirit ridiculously early (as Spirit is known to do).

What's the first thing you'll be getting to prepare for Christmas?
