"Spirit Christmas" will not be coming to the area.
What we once thought was coming to The Capital Region is no longer happening.
The story was that "Spirit Christmas", a spinoff of the "Spirit Halloween" stores, was going to be taking over the space in Colonie Center that was once occupied by "Christmas Tree Shop". Unfortunately, the PR team at Spirit Halloween says that the store is no longer going to be coming to that space.
The original plan was to open 10 "Spirit Christmas" stores on the East Coast, with one of those stores being the Colonie Center location. However, the Spirit Halloween PR team released a statement saying -
"Based on the initial positive reaction to our Spirit Christmas test, we have made the difficult decision to adjust the store count from 10 to 8 locations. We know that this is disappointing to the Albany community, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.”
With the loss of this store in The Capital Region, the closest location that you'd be able to visit will be the Poughkeepsie location. That's located in a former Bed Bath & Beyond building at 2020 South Road.
