Everything Holiday Returns to The Christmas Store
at Potters for the 2025 Season
Western Canada’s largest Christmas store
is open now through December 24
In a magical transformation that’s become a 21-year tradition, Potters Nursery in Surrey has lit up into the sparkling, 28,000-square-foot The Christmas Store at Potters. Open daily now through December 24, this everything-Christmas immersive experience is a must-visit holiday destination.
One of Western Canada’s favourite gardening centres takes on the seasonal glow of Western Canada’s largest Christmas store, becoming a holiday-themed wonderland of unique decor and distinctive gifts, including stocking stuffers and traditional toys, puzzles and games for sharing time over the holidays.
For the 15th year, the much-loved Santa’s Report Card returns, motivating kids to showcase all their pre-holiday chores and accomplishments for Santa. This sweet annual tradition is exclusive to Potters and is absolutely free.
Get a dose of holiday spirit and inspiration from The Christmas Store’s glittering decorations, including designer trees, hand-picked ornaments, 75 styles of Christmas stockings and much more.
This year, check out 25-plus themed Christmas trees throughout the space. In addition to two towering, spinning upside-down trees twinkling with white lights, this year’s display introduces several imaginative new designs. There’s Pastel Perfect, glowing in dreamy shades of pink and blue; the Enchanted Forest, filled with butterflies, birds and whimsical woodland creatures; and Sea Spray, a coastal creation sparkling with shimmering sea life.
The most festive season of the year comes to life in intricately detailed, remarkable displays and specialty shopping destinations.
Wander and Wonder Among These Displays
NEW! Welcome to the Polar Bear Forest! This year’s new front-entrance display welcomes guests with thousands of shimmering crystals and ornaments in white, silver and gold. Together, they create a sparkling forest of tall trees adorned with lights that resemble crystals and shift in colour – an enchanting sea of glass where large plush polar bears bask in the glow. The cool crisp beauty of the Polar Bear Forest sets the stage for what’s next: the whimsical Fantasyland of Sweets, a delicious dreamscape where cookies, cakes, cotton candy, donuts and other treats are transformed into delightful tree ornaments.
Dark Room: Get a glow-up in this room where everything is lit! More than 40 designs of nightlights, a wide selection of Christmas-themed water lanterns, plus LED Infinity Lights that look like two-way mirrors, illuminate this 3,000-square-foot gallery.
Train Town: Toot, toot! Watch for the electric train that comes out of the wall, and surrounding it the moving carousels, an elevated Santa on a scissor lift, tiny skating rinks, mini-ski lifts, cable cars and all sorts of other moving parts. Take a charming train set home or simply delight in viewing the festive display.
Granny’s Attic: Located adjacent to Train Town, check out what has accumulated in Granny’s attic, which is completely overrun with tiny, adorable felt mice. It’s also teeming with vintage items that whirr, click, beep and light up in the most delightful ways.
