The Countdown to Christmas Begins
The air is crisp, the days are shorter, Mariah Carey is defrosting, and there’s a hint of cinnamon in every breeze… it can only mean one thing – Christmas is on the horizon! And while we’ve tried to hold off as long as possible, it’s officially November, so we’re letting the festive excitement loose. Yes, it’s time to talk about “An Evening of Christmas” – our much-loved annual in-store celebration that marks the official start of the season.
Whether you're a full-blown Christmas enthusiast or a reluctant Grinch, there’s something undeniably magical about that first festive event of the year – the sparkle, the sounds, the smells. This year, we’re going bigger, brighter, and more festive than ever.
