"Pamper Me" Plush Teddy Bear
I never know what to expect when visiting an online web site. Our web site here is truly no different. I’ve been working here for nearly 8 months now, and I still discover new items everyday that I never knew we carried! With over 30,000 different & unique items, it’s easy to see how this can happen!
One of my more recent discoveries were the adorable Russ brand plush teddy bears that we carry. The one on the right above is adorable, in her pink satin pajamas. We have several boy & girl bears to choose from, and even have Russ Christmas ornaments!

Harley Davidson Beanie King
And speaking of plush, I also just discovered in recent weeks these super-cute Harley Davidson plush animals. Any Harley fan would love to have one of these, and imagine how cute your little biker would look carrying one of these around? They make great gifts, too! The plush pro-sports mascots are darling, as well. Any sports nut would love to have one of these.
If you’re looking for something really cuddly and lovable, we have these lavender-scented plush animals. Each one can be microwaved to warm them up and release the sweet, soothing lavender smell from within. These make great snuggle buddies when you or a loved one isn’t feeling well.

Plush Moose Ottoman
Looking for something truly unique? How about a plush animal footrest? These exceptional creatures will surely be a conversation-starter in your home! Or, you can get one of these life-size standing bears! These larger-than-life creatures look adorable standing in shop windows, or your home! Whatever you’re looking for, we probably have it. Take it from someone who works here and is constantly surrounded by the merchandise, you never know what you’ll find here at Christmas Central!

Mini Village Christmas Trees
It’s sunny and a warm 70-something degrees outside. Inside? It looks like mid-December in our offices. There are ornaments, trees, wreaths and other Christmas items galore spread out all over, as we work diligently listing all of these great items on our web site.
Many of our new ornaments for the season have already been featured on our blog before. We’re still adding more every single day, so if you don’t see what you’re searching for one day, chances are you might another. Our long list of merchandise grows all the time!
There are literally dozens of Christmas trees in view right now. We’ve got some great unlit & pre-lit whimsical mini trees in stock. They look great on a mantle, table top, or even mixed in with our popular Lemax collectible village sets.
We’ve got trees that look like they’ve been lightly dusted with snow, and others that have the appearance of making it through a winter snow storm. There are trees in decorative pots or burlap sacks. And there are trees that are completely out of the ordinary, but just as much fun. We even have trees that will have you completely turned around just looking at them! And speaking of turning, there is the very popular rotating Christmas tree stand, which allows you to view the whole tree, and not just the front side. This item is hot and sure to sell out quickly!
Of course, you can’t have trees without tree skirts, and this year, we have them to fit all size trees, even those mini table top ones! It’s definitely gearing up to be a very colorful Christmas this year!

Sesame Street Character Ornaments
Nothing, and I do mean nothing reminds me of my childhood quite like Sesame Street does. Seeing the friendly, colorful characters I fell in love with as a child can take me right back to those moments of singing, dancing and learning. Now that I’m a mom and have young children, I can appreciate even more how much these characters mean to little ones.
Recently, the staff here at Christmas Central has been very busy unloading trucks packed to the brim with Christmas items. Getting to see the gleaming ornaments first hand is a thrill, and I’m so excited to show you some of them!
Whether your child (or your) favorite character is Abby, Elmo, Ernie, Bert, Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Oscar or Grover, you will find them all in colorful ornament form here! These ornaments look great on any tree, but even better, you can get a bright and shiny novelty tinsel tree and set it up just for the kids! The novelty lights complete the look and make a fun addition to your holiday decor.
I love the stockings, and they’re great to not only look at, but have Santa fill to the top with goodies! This Christmas, relive a fond childhood memory, or better yet, introduce a child to the awesome world of Sesame Street!

Surely you have noticed by now…that Christmas Central is much more than your typical Christmas superstore. For instance, we have an enormous selection of really cool officially licensed merchandise, perfect for decorating your man cave with. Not familiar with the term “man cave”? I wasn’t either, until I married my husband. Just like I need my own personal space, so does he. And his “man cave” is his to decorate however he likes. Believe me when I say that each man cave is as unique as the man who dwells there.
Love Harley Davidson? We’ve got adorable picture frames to show off your little biker, and some really cool lamps to light up your space. Whether you prefer glowing neon, paper lanterns, table lamps, night lights or more eclectic-looking styles, be sure to check out our selection.
Officially licensed Budweiser items also make a perfect addition to your man cave. What bachelor pad should be without beer can lights strung up along the ceiling? The neon shield lamps are very cool. If you love to snack during a football game or other sporting event, the 3-piece snack sets or cutting board sets are perfect. Along those same lines, we carry Corona merchandise too. The shot glasses are a very popular item, and you can keep time in style with the wall clocks.
What man cave would be complete without sports items? Whether you are a fan of NCAA, MLB, NFL or NHL, we carry unique items for most, if not all of the teams. Have your visitors announce their arrival with a door knocker with your favorite team’s logo. Serving chips & dip just became a lot more fun on the sports-themed platters. You wouldn’t believe the utterly gigantic selection of floor mats we have. What man cave floor is complete without some of these? Whether you’re looking for something specific, or just some general ideas for decorating your bachelor pad, Christmas Central is home to the officially licensed merchandise you’re looking for!

Last month, Christmas Central was seen in Brides Magazine. At that time, the disco ball ornaments featured sold out very quickly, because so many blushing brides saw them! We’re very happy to say that we now have these in stock again!
These festive disco ball style ornaments will really jazz things up at your wedding! Each ball ornament is covered with tiny square mirrors that reflect light and create a dazzling lighting effect. Imagine how gorgeous these would be as wedding favors, or hung all over your Christmas tree! Brides magazine had suggested using the ornaments as napkin rings. They would also look terrific strung along the head table with some dazzling lights.
Another festive wedding item that we just got into stock are these adorable white glittery snowflake floating candles. Perfect for the classic winter or Christmas wedding, these floating candles cast a soft, romantic glow of light as they slowly burn. The candles can be placed in any sort of container or dish which holds water, and for a distinct twist, food coloring or dye can be added to the water to add a touch of color. These makes perfect centerpieces, or, wrap a candle in a circle of tulle and tie with ribbon to make a great favor gift!
