The Christmas Store at Potters is back for its 22nd season, welcoming visitors daily through December 24 at 19158 48th Avenue.

More than 30 individually themed Christmas trees form the centrepiece of the store, alongside over 50 styles of stockings, ornaments, toys, puzzles and games.

What’s New at Potters Christmas Store in 2026?

This year’s entrance display, Christmas Traditions, takes inspiration from European holiday decorating trends.

Thousands of crystals hang from towering red, green and white trees, where illuminated woodland animals appear to present gifts to a Snow Queen standing on a treetop balcony.

Inside, the 3,000-square-foot Dark Room features glowing displays, including more than 40 nightlight designs, Christmas water lanterns and LED Infinity Lights that create mirror-like optical effects.

The expanded Train Town features an electric train travelling through a miniature village of houses, shops and moving carousels. Visitors will also find what Potters describes as Canada’s largest collection of whimsical mouse decorations.
