A Christmas Wonderland
It doesn’t get more festive than an entire store dedicated to Christmas – and not just any old Christmas shopping, a shopping experience at Nicholas & Co. is a curated collection of Christmas décor, bakeware, signature scents, unique collectables (don’t miss out on the quirky Jim Shore collection of The Grinch) and a brand-new collection of Ulster Weavers table linen. This store has been transformed into a world of festive cheer where each themed tree is adorned in glass baubles, classic finials, elegant bows and moving trains to create the romance we all cherish at Christmas with a trendy twist.
Date: Until Saturday, 24 December 2022
Venue: Lower Mall
Closest Parking Level: Entrance 2
