Marge’s Specialties: Your One-Stop Shop for All Things Merry & Bright
Looking for the best Christmas store in Orlando? Well, there’s really no competition. Hands down, the place to go is Marge’s Specialties.
This lovely family-owned spot is located right in the heart of Orlando, which is oh-so-fitting with the theme of “keeping Christmas in your heart.” Day in and day out, Marge’s keeps the holiday spirit going, delivering Christmas to their customers, even in the middle of summer!
If you’re the type of person who plays Christmas music the second Halloween is over (or even throughout the year), Marge’s Specialties’ Christmas selection is your holly-jolly paradise.
The Ultimate Mom-and-Pop Christmas Shop
Marge’s Specialties has been owned and operated by the same family for over 48 years. But you’d never know that just by looking. A far cry from the traditional “mom & pop” operation, Marge’s is the largest Christmas store in all of Florida! This shop is so enormous it can’t even be contained in one building – instead, it sprawls magnificently through several buildings, all bursting at the seams with an eclectic and cheery inventory.
It’s rare to find a family-owned spot that boasts a selection just as expansive as the big-box stores, which is one of the things we love about Marge’s. You can feel good about your money going to support a community and a family.

From the second you step into Marge’s Specialties, you know you’re in a space that’s so much more than your typical Christmas store. The aisles go on and on (and on) with seasonal items you never even imagined. Exploring this store is its own kind of holiday adventure!
If there’s a specific Christmas item you’ve always wanted but haven’t been able to find… you’ll find it here. Marge’s is the ideal place to find heirloom-worthy holiday pieces your family will treasure for generations and will use to decorate their homes for years to come.
You’ll find Christmas garlands, wreaths, tree skirts, Christmas stockings, and thousands upon thousands of Christmas ornaments – you’ll have no problem getting everything you need to spruce up that little Charlie Brown tree!
If you’re going for a specific color scheme for your Christmas tree this year, there’s no better place to find perfectly coordinating decorations. Dying to start a tradition of adding a quirky ornament to the tree every year, or looking for a niche ornament to give to your hard-to-shop-for person? Look no further than Marge’s Specialties!
Or maybe you want to become the house with the best Christmas decorations on the block. (Who doesn’t?) Marge’s has your back. They carry a wide range of Christmas angels, Santa statues, life-sized reindeer figures, and decorative sleighs that will look stunning when perched on your roof or parked in your front yard.
You’ll find nutcrackers in every size imaginable, Christmas lights in more sizes and shapes than any normal person would consider necessary (including LED lights), Nativity sets, home scents perfectly selected to set the tone for the holidays, and more. They even have a huge selection of often-overlooked Christmas supplies like ribbons and bows!
Take a walk through their storeroom of Christmas trees, including displays of trees in designer and novelty colors – all lit up in twinkle lights. It’s all the magic of walking through a Christmas tree farm but with even more variety!
Whether your style is classic, cheeky, goofy, or minimal, you’ll find everything you need to craft the perfect setting for your holiday.
Tour the Festive Showrooms
Make sure to budget plenty of time (and probably a good bit of your wallet) to wander through the showroom and take in everything there is to see. The designers at Marge’s Specialties use only the very best Christmas decorations in their eye-catching displays, and it shows.
Each showroom is decorated with examples of amazing Christmas decorations designed to ignite your imagination and inspire your creative spirit. It’s like a dream home showroom but specifically curated for the best season of the year. There’s no better place to gather inspiration for your home – or even just admire the sights!
It’s a great opportunity for first-time home decorators who might feel overwhelmed with developing their own unique Christmas decorating style. But it’s also perfect for experienced home decorators who are looking to shake up their routine or experiment with something a little different too!
If you’re like me, you’ll want to buy up half the store…which is bigger than my home! LOL!
Take Time to Wander (in a Winter Wonderland)
You can step into Marge’s, ask for help, and walk out with the exact item you’ve been searching for. But our favorite way to enjoy Marge’s Specialties is as a spectator, without an end goal or a shopping list, ready to experience everything the showrooms have to offer.
Because it’s like a classic Christmas shop on steroids, the entire place feels like a scavenger hunt. Even members of your family who don’t normally like shopping will have a blast looking for the best, wildest, craziest Christmas thing they can find. You might even want to take it home with you as a souvenir to help you remember all the fun you had browsing the selection.
