A Metro Vancouver store has transformed into all things Christmas for the holiday season.
Each year, Potters Nursery in Surrey undergoes a festive makeover, offering an "expansive holiday wonderland" across the 28,000-square-foot centre.
The Potters team says they spend the entire year scouring the globe for unique merchandise, which makes their selection so diverse. Some items include hand-picked ornaments, designer trees, over 50 styles of stockings, collectibles, stocking stuffers, food items, and many others.
Now in its 20th year, the Christmas Store at Potters store boasts 33 themed Christmas trees, including two towering, spinning upside-down trees adorned with sparkling white lights and decorations.
Locals looking to find unique gifts for a hard-to-shop-for loved one can find rare items, games, jigsaw puzzles, and "great personalized gifts" in themes including pets, travel, food, “Baby’s First Christmas, and much more.
Potters Christmas Store displays and sections
Potters houses intricate displays and store sections, providing guests with several experiences during their visit.
The team has created a new front entrance with "thousands of magical, glimmering blue, white, silver and gold ornaments" in an area that they call the "blue, blue Christmas." Similarly, the dark room whisks guests into a 3,000-square-foot gallery glowing with nightlights, Christmas-themed water lanterns, and LED Infinity Lights.
A returning favourite, Candyland, offers sweat ornaments such as donuts, gingerbread, cotton candy, and macarons.
Hungry for some real eats?
The gourmet food zone has specialty products, hot chocolate in over 40 flavours, locally-made jellies, and savoury pretzels. Shoppers can also grab “Bags of Poop” (chocolate-coated toffee in ultra-cute bags) for fun stocking stuffers.
The "men zone" houses cool gifts for - you guessed it - men, including everything from soaps, slippers, manicure kits and scarves to hot sauce. There's also an area for women to find accessories, outerwear, cozy loungewear, and more.
Potters is continuing its "fan favourite" tradition: Santa’s Report Card. The free activity encourages kids to do chores between now and Christmas Eve (Dec. 24).
The Christmas Store at Potters is located at 19158 - 48th Ave. in Surrey and is open daily through Dec. 24. The store hours are Monday and Tuesday: 9 a.m. – 6 p.m.; Wednesday to Friday: 9 a.m. – 7 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday: 9 a.m. – 6 p.m.
