The Holiday Shoppe
Specialty · 721 Bridgeway, Sausalito, CA 94965
Verified September 2026
The Holiday Shoppe is a family-run Christmas store that stays open all year, which makes it one of the more genuinely odd stops on Bridgeway in the middle of a Sausalito summer. The owners say they have served customers for over 30 years under the same ownership. Shelves hold ornaments, nutcrackers, stockings and holiday collectibles from name makers including Christopher Radko, Jim Shore, Lenox, Hollywood Nutcrackers, Mark Roberts fairies and elves, and Old World Christmas, plus 24k gold-plated crystal ornaments and a selection of San Francisco and Sausalito-themed pieces. It has built its own following of collectors who come back for new ornament lines each season, well beyond the holiday-timed tourists. A local guide notes that the shop has moved across the street and a half block closer to the ferry pier since the pandemic, and the phone number stayed the same.
What To Expect
The novelty for most visitors is walking in on a warm July afternoon and finding a fully trimmed tree. Personalizable ornaments are a good souvenir if you want something with a name or a date on it. If you're traveling, the shop ships throughout the continental United States, with free shipping on orders of $149 and up, and it offers curbside pickup at the Sausalito location. The shop also lists licensed lines such as Disney and Coca-Cola, which helps if you're shopping for kids or for someone who collects one brand.
Getting There
The shop is at 721 Bridgeway, in the main shopping stretch between Only in Sausalito and Golden Gate Jewelry, a short walk from the ferry landing. A local guide notes city parking lots two blocks north and metered spots and a private lot half a block to the south, though the ferry is easier on a busy weekend.
Good To Know
Hours vary by source, but the pattern is consistent: the shop keeps later hours from Friday through Sunday than on weekdays, roughly 10:30 to 7 early in the week and until 8 or 8:30 on weekends. Confirm on the day if you're planning an after-dinner browse, and call (415) 332-7432 if you need to.
Our Take
Worth five minutes even if you weren't planning to shop for ornaments. It's a genuinely strange thing to find on a bayfront street in August, and that's exactly the appeal. Buy an ornament with Sausalito on it and you've got a souvenir that will come out of a box every December.
