The tradition of Spirit Halloween started over 40 years ago as a pop-up shop in a mall in the San Francisco Bay Area. Now, the company is expanding its reach and holiday offerings with Spirit Christmas, bringing joy and merriment to communities across the country.

Spirit Halloween has announced that Dartmouth will be one of the eight Spirit Christmas locations opening in November.

A flagship Spirit Christmas store in May's Landing, New Jersey, was expected to be the first to open. Marlton and Brick Township will also be opening locations in the Philadelphia region.

The newest holiday temporary retail chain opened a storefront in the Millcreek Mall at 5800 Peach St. at the former A.C. Moore location.
