Take Home A Piece Of Christmas History From Where It Was Created

MOUNT VERNON, NY — Your chance to actually bring home the dazzling light displays, glistening decorations and sparkling Christmas ornaments that wow the crowds in Manhattan is here — but you had better hurry because the elves responsible for the holiday magic only open their Westchester workshop once a year.

American Christmas, the company that designs and installs most of Manhattan’s most famous displays for Christmas, will open its warehouse to the public from Dec. 14 - Dec. 16, for an exclusive holiday décor sample sale.

The public is invited to visit their warehouse at 30 Warren Place in Mt. Vernon from noon to 6 p.m. on the 14th and 15th, and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the 16th to view and purchase holiday décor from some of the most famous holiday displays in and around Manhattan in years past.

There are decorations from iconic New York City late-night television shows to some of the largest landmarks and retailers in New York City, as well as many one-off pieces never used.

"American Christmas has long been synonymous with bringing joy and magic to the holiday season through our elaborate displays," American Christmas CEO Dan Casterella said. "Our upcoming Iconic Decor Sample Sale is a rare opportunity for the public to take home a piece of the enchantment that has graced the sets of iconic shows and building landmarks. Each item tells a story of holiday cheer, and this sale is a celebration of the unique and unforgettable moments we have all been a part of. It's a chance for everyone to bring a touch of celebrity and sparkle into their own homes, making this holiday season truly one-of-a-kind."

With over 100,000 lights, and more than 100 animatronics and figurines in nine uniquely themed areas, the immersive experience has everything that made NYC synonymous with holiday lights. Best of all, all profits go to local charities.
