Spirit Christmas confirms four Florida stores opening this year (2026)
Spirit Christmas is expanding into Florida for the 2026 holiday season, with four locations now listed across the state, including one in the greater Orlando area.
The seasonal retailer from the company behind Spirit Halloween has officially listed stores in Winter Garden, Clearwater, Coral Springs and Jacksonville. Each location is currently marked as opening in October, although exact opening dates and operating hours have not been announced.
Spirit Christmas Florida locations
The four officially confirmed Florida stores are:
- Winter Garden: 3049 Daniels Road, Suite 220C, Winter Garden, FL 34787. The store will occupy a former Forever 21.
- Clearwater: 2522 McMullen Booth Road, Clearwater, FL 33761. The location previously housed Stein Mart.

- Jacksonville: 6000 Lake Gray Blvd., Suite XD, Jacksonville, FL 32244. The space was formerly occupied by Bealls.
All four locations are listed as “Opening Soon” on the official Spirit Christmas store locator. Their individual pages provide a broader October opening window but do not yet identify specific dates.
The Winter Garden store is located in Winter Garden Village, approximately 14 miles north of Walt Disney World.
Spirit Christmas expands into the South
Spirit Christmas debuted in 2024 with a small group of stores in the Northeast before expanding to 30 locations across 13 states in 2025.
The official 2026 locator currently includes Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
The list represents a broader push into Southern states, including four locations in Florida.
Spirit Christmas has not announced its total number of stores for 2026, and additional locations could appear as the holiday season approaches.
What to expect inside Spirit Christmas
Spirit Christmas combines a seasonal retail store with interactive holiday displays and family photo opportunities.
The centerpiece of the 2026 experience is Candy Cane Express, a Christmas train station featuring an almost life-size train and caboose that guests can steer and interact with. An Arrivals and Departures terminal allows children to write letters to Santa and check whether they are on his nice list.
The display also incorporates animated versions of familiar holiday characters. Spirit lists Snoopy, Frosty the Snowman, Heat Miser, Snow Miser, Clarice and several Misfit Toys among the characters expected to appear.
Stores will carry indoor and outdoor decorations, inflatables, ornaments, nutcrackers, holiday clothing, gifts, stocking stuffers and party supplies. A Creepmas collection will offer darker holiday merchandise inspired by Ghost Face, “Terrifier” and Krampus.

The official listings also advertise merchandise based on “Elf,” “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” “Frosty the Snowman,” “The Year Without a Santa Claus” and “SpongeBob SquarePants.”
