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

Each item tells a story and adds true festive spirit to any home or business."

There will also be open box items sold at 80 percent off wholesale pricing, according to the company. In addition, American Christmas is bringing back the popular "Fill a Bag of Ornaments" where shoppers can fill a bag with ornaments, florals, and decorative items for $50.
