Cue Andy Williams because, “It’s the holiday season.”

Last year, our favorite neighborhood holiday shop announced it will be moving from its longtime location at the Landsdowne Shoppes.

Hillenmeyer Christmas Shop revealed this week that for the 2023 holiday season, it will be set up at another favorite festive location — Ashland, the Henry Clay Estate — merging two pieces of Lexington history for one big bow-covered holiday season. Think: hot cocoa + cider, a live nativity season, trees, garlands, wreaths, and more.

While an exact open date has yet to be announced, based on years’ past, we can expect this annual tradition to open its doors mid-November.
