Spirit Halloween extends its season with 10 Christmas-themed stores: See the locations and opening dates
Spirit Halloween is getting in to the spirit of Christmas, too.
A spokesperson for the New Jersey-based seasonal store confirmed to CBS News Philadelphia that 10 new Spirit Christmas stores are set to open this fall.
The stores will offer Christmas holiday decor, Christmas sweaters, stocking stuffers, inflatables for your lawn and even photo opportunities with Santa.
"Spirit Christmas is a new concept for us, and we're hopeful it will resonate with our customers. Our goal is to create a festive retail experience that captures the spirit of the season, much like we do for Halloween," Spirit wrote in an email.
New York and New Jersey will host the lion's share of these new stores, with Connecticut, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania getting one location each.
Here's where the stores are opening:

If a Christmas store opening on Oct. 18 sounds early, just know this: Spirit opened their flagship Halloween store in New Jersey on Aug. 1 and people were lined up outside for hours ahead of time to get in.
Some of these Spirit Christmas locations are replacing Spirit Halloween stores, while others are separate locations.
