A Spotlight on the Retailers Who Share Our Love for Tradition

For generations, Old World Christmas has been proud to partner with independent retailers who share our passion for craftsmanship, tradition, and meaningful holiday moments. Each month, we feature one special store, highlighting their story, their community, and the ornaments they love most. These retailers are more than partners, they are storytellers, tradition-keepers, and the heart of Christmas in towns across the country.

Our Story

Donna’s love of Christmas and glass ornaments was reignited through family travels in Europe in the late 1990s. After attending the Frankfurt Market and later American markets in Dallas and Atlanta, she discovered Old World Christmas and was instantly drawn to the unmatched color, glitter, and detail of the ornaments. She opened her first shop in New Orleans in the early 2000s and later another in Mandeville, Louisiana, where she has carried Old World Christmas for over 17 years. With nearly 1,000 OWC SKUs, the brand has been a perfect fit for the European-influenced New Orleans market, and being part of the OWC family is truly a gift.
