About

A Manteo staple for over 50 years, The Christmas Shop first opened in 1967 and has been "spreading the sparkle" ever since. Its more than 25,000 square feet of selling space extends well beyond Christmas gifts.

The shop carries presents and decorations for every holiday and season, along with jewelry, personal care products, professional sports and collegiate novelties, and gourmet and specialty foods and candies through its general store. Visitors can find gifts and souvenirs at The Christmas Shop, where shopping is presented as an experience rather than a simple store visit.
