La F\u00e9\u00e9rie de No\u00ebl | Riquewihr, France<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Little Christmas Shop | Reykjav\u00edk, Iceland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you plan to spend a few days of holiday in Iceland, you should definitely stop by the Laugavegur Street to visit\u00a0The Little Christmas Shop.\u00a0This small shop specializes in Christmas decorations and accessories and it remains open all year round.\u00a0You can even send a Christmas postcard to your loved ones from there. However, you should know that they take a long time to arrive (if they don’t get lost on the way). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kankurin Tupa | Helsinki, Finland <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you feel like it, you could head straight to Finland to visit the pretty\u00a0Kankurin Tupa\u00a0store in Helsinki. The shop sells all kinds of Christmas stuff: clothes, decorations, accessories and much more!\u00a0The store is open (you guessed it!) all year round, yet it is not the most famous Christmas-related attraction in the country. As you probably know, Finland is indeed home to the Santa Claus Village (your childhood dreams come true!) and we tell you all about it in\u00a0this article<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas Palace | Amsterdam, Netherlands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Christmas Palace is a small all-year-round Christmas shop located very close to the Flower Market. In there, you can find Xmas decorations of all kinds: classic, modern and even atypical for some! Don’t be fooled by the shop’s small surface or somewhat ordinary entry. You will be surprised at the amount of wonders to be found inside. And the best part is that the prices are very affordable! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you push the door open, you will be welcomed by the shop’s magical setting. De Witte Pelikaan offers a wide range of Christmas decorations, from the most traditional to the most eccentric! This store, located in the Vlamingstraat, is renowned for its many treasures. It is also the very first permanent shop dedicated to Christmas in Belgium. So do not hesitate to come inside: behind the shop’s baroque facade with a bold white pelican, you will find the magic world of eternal Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
