In life, you’ll often hear the phrase “it’s not over until the fat lady sings” — well here in New York we have our own slogan — holiday shopping isn’t over until Santa comes down the chimney! As we get closer and closer to the heart of the holiday season, you may be looking to wrap up your shopping or add some finishing touches to the decorations in your home. If you’re looking to avoid shopping online and are ready to enjoy the satisfaction of walking out of the store with an armful of goodies, see why we love spending the day at House of Holiday in the Empire State.

Discretely tucked away inside of an old factory that once made artificial trees, House of Holiday is now one of the largest holiday shops that you’ll find in New York.
