Potters has launched its highly-anticipated Christmas Store in Metro Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»for the 2023 holiday season.
The Surrey nursery transforms into a festive wonderland for the holidays each year, offering 28,00 square feet of elaborate decorations, beautiful giftware, and specialty items to shoppers from across the region.
The Potters team says they spend the entire year scouring the globe for unique merchandise, which makes their selection so diverse. Some of the items include hand-picked ornaments, designer trees, over 50 styles of stockings, collectibles, stocking stuffers, food items, and many others.
Now in its 19th year, the Christmas Store at Potters, which is the largest Christmas store in Western Canada, features 30 themed trees throughout the store, including "two massive, constantly spinning upside-down trees that are loaded with white lights and decorations."
