The Christmas Shop in Colonial Williamsburg has been delighting visitors and locals since 1961, making it the oldest holiday shop on the East Coast. This small, charming store offers a wide variety of unique ornaments, including regional, North American, and international pieces such as Egyptian Museum blown glass, German smokers, Russian nesting dolls, Byer's Choice figures, advent calendars, candles, and nutcrackers from around the world. Customers can find dozens of Williamsburg and Virginia ornaments to remember their trip. The shop is known for its distinctive selection, including original Russian nesting dolls and Uzbekistani ornaments. While some find the prices to be high, others appreciate the variety and quality of the items. The staff is friendly, and the store is considered worth a visit, especially for those seeking specific or special ornaments, despite its small size and sometimes difficult location.

I am glad we went here on our last day some of the items they have are beautiful but extremely over priced. A lot of the Williamsburg ornaments they have are in other stores for $5 less.
