What a charming and magical store. I just bought an ornament for my mom from the Christmas Cottage for the 10th year in a row. It has become a tradition. The owners are so kind and helpful.
Found some really nice ornaments in this store along with nutcrackers and the classic Turtle Doves from Home Alone 2.The owner and staff were super friendly and helpful.After leaving the store I heard my name being yelled. I turn around to see the owner running full speed down 7th Ave. I had left my credit card at the store and he made sure I got it back. Top notch service. Will shop here again
Fantastic shop great people that work there to can’t wait to go back
We went at Xmas just to see New York at Xmas and loved it. We stayed in the Wellington Hotel that turned out to be next door to the Christmas Cottage. It is reputed to be the oldest Xmas shop in New York, it is certainly an Aladdins cave of decorations, we went in a few times. We went in a lot of Xmas shops whilst in New York and this was certainly one of the best. Maybe a little pricey, but in our view had the best selection for quite a small shop. In the end we bought a few decorations that now adorn our tree in the UK. I would certainly recommend you have a peruse if youre on the hunt for Christmas decorations, but still worth a look if youre passing.
My daughter and Son in law visited your lovely shop while on Hoilday and brought me back your wonderful Elvis ornament as I am a great fan. We are from England and I have ordered on line two other Elvis ornaments since then. The service, tracking and delivery as been first class and I would recommend anybody looking for something special for Christmas to look at the website and have it delivered. Thank you lovely shop.
I made an error in my online order today and the member of staff who dealt with my query could not have been friendlier, speedier or more helpful. Wonderful customer service. Many thanks!
Store has some very nice Christmas ornaments, tree toppers, stockings, snow globes, and other Christmas themed items, but the store is very expensive. Some ornaments are over $15 each, but I guess thats to be expected in the city. Overall the store has some very nice products and is beautifully decorated
Its Christmas time in the city! Amazing decorated trees and atmosphere filled with lots of gift ideas. Got some snowmen for place settings for everyone to take home. Love topping my packages with an ornament instead of bow gives that personal touch. One of my favorite traditions every year is treating myself to a new ornament to add to my collection...but hard to pick just one!
Every time I go to the city and pass by this store I always have to go in and take a look. The atmosphere is beautiful and no matter what time of year it always puts me in the Christmas spirit. The employees are all friendly and helpful and will go above and beyond to make sure the customers have the greatest experience and will continue coming back for years to come!
This store has a great selection of ornaments, lights, stockings, pretty much anything Christmas! If youre visiting NYC this is a must see, especially during the holiday season. The store has a wonderfully kind staff and the overall atmosphere is so cheerful! Love this place!
After recently visiting The Christmas Cottage I could not resist writing a review. This little shop is a gem in the heart of New York City, selling everything from old world santas to New York items. The store is decorated beautifully with many ornaments of your choice, mine particularly the best teacher. I will be back soon!
Great shop. They have a lot of ornaments and everyone was very polite. I would definitely come back next year to get another ornament.
Ok selection of goods. Its ok to lose some time while waiting for something.Prices are too high, and I would expect more stuff.
Amazing Christmas Shop in New York City! The absolute BEST and first shop in all of Manhattan! A MUST visit if you are in New York! A+++
When visiting new york we really wanted to go to a Christmas store to get decorations we could bring home with us and keep forever. We made sure we had time scheduled to visit the Christmas shop within their opening hours. When we visited the shop at 7pm it was closed, leaving my mother completely devastated as we had read the good reviews. Really disappointing as it was our last night in New York.
Really tiny, so kind of uncomfortable to move around in, but had some really nice stuff.
How incredibly cute to have a Christmas shop open in September!! Was an absolutely delight to find this place, on one of those nostalgic rainy nights no less.The atmosphere is decent, small and cozy with a nice green rug. But the ornaments (which comprise the vast majority of the store) have quite a few tacky ones among them. Lots of stupid characters and trite quotes. I dont remember many Olde World Christmas decorations like silver bells, crystal trees, or red and green globes. Just a bunch of cheap, tacky, made-in-China throwaways.
I went to the store in the hope of finding some Asian, Black and Latino angels and Santas to decorate our familys tree and home. This is NYC after all, so I was feeling fairly optimistic that the store would mirror the diversity of the city and my family. Unfortunately, going by the contents of this store, only white people celebrate Christmas. All angels, all Santas (except one), and almost all other ornaments with people featured white people. The only exceptions were three ballerina ornaments with Black girls (compared to probably 30 featuring white girls and no Asian girls - and no boys for that matter), one brown skinned racially ambiguous Santa, and gay wedding ornaments featuring two men in any Black/white combination. I submitted my request for more of a diverse selection to the two employees working there, but they were extremely uncomfortable with my request, and it was clear that they were not going to pass it on to the boss. Sadly I left empty handed. Please think about the people you serve in NYC - locals and tourists - and reflect the big beautiful diversity here!
Adorable selection of Christmas ornaments but very small, gets incredibly crowded
Offers personalized ornaments. Might have more variety closer to Christmas.
This is great Xmas experience.unusual gifts and friendly staff
So cute! They have great ornaments will definitely be going back!
Great, unique family owned business in the heart of time square...priceless!
Great if you love celebrating Christmas at any other time of the year ;-). Lots of tat that youll probably regret buying when you get home. Couldnt resist going in though !
Lovely shop. Got my doves
Nice Christmas shop but expected more. Perhaps the wrong time of year to visit a Christmas shop. 8months before Christmas
Its like a Christmas ornament wonderland
Small store and a bit pricey but nice for christmas decore bought turtle doves here could not find them anywhere else
Excellent customer service. Above and beyond!
Great store, lovely staff, and good prices.
Perfect little place to grab Christmas things all year round :) Very friendly staff and conviently located! Will for sure be back the next trip to manhattan!
Great store with fab selection.
Really small store and ornaments are a bit overpriced.
Made special trip there today (4/8/17) -- not open...kept checking back until we gave up at 10:30. Dont trust their publicized hours -- they need to either stick to them or update them!
Great hidden gem
Everything you need for Christmas. 😀
Expensive trinkets, but there are no issues 😀.
Great staff.
FRIENDLY STAFF
Different decirations to Australia
Way over priced.
Nice place
Amazing atmosphere
Love it, but WAY to expensive
I loved that store
Small place filled like an Alibaba cave. A lot of original Christmas decoration. We want to buy everything. A bit expensive though ... But its New York!
Eerily small shop, brightly colored and yet not a reasonable selection. Even the 10% discount card is of no use.
Very expensive, all clearly Chinese. Pairs experience: not worth it
Beautiful shop! They sell wonderful Christmas items!
Very very nice Christmas decorations, quality / price ok
There are original decorations for Christmas trees. Although it is a very small shop ..
Very nice as a shop, something can be found to give or buy for themselves.
Christmas store open year-round in Midtown, between Times Square and Central Park.It is very small, but it is covered in ornaments down to the last corner. Although there are bigger Christmas stores in the city, in this they have practically everything. Prices are similar to most stores of this type, quite expensive, but it is good to buy some souvenir accessories.
Small and little variety, although good will and put with roll.
Gadget for Christmas but expensive
Everything your heart desires. Small shop, great selection
Here its Christmas all year long!
Excellent Christmas store. Quality Products.
The magic of Christmas, huge choice
Simply dear!
