Technically, Spirit Christmas launched last year. The brand quietly tested the concept with eight locations in the northeast in 2024. But this year, they're going big with stores in Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
