The American Family Association (AFA) has identified several stores that unapologetically celebrate Christmas. Hobby Lobby leads the charge, filling its stores with Christian music and closing on Sundays to honor the holiday.
Belk joins the ranks, spreading Christmas cheer without resorting to clichés. Nordstrom thoughtfully waits until after Thanksgiving to decorate, ensuring employees can participate in the festivities.

JCPenney, despite past struggles, remains committed to Christmas. Bass Pro Shops partners with Duck Dynasty to promote the holiday, delighting fans. Lowe’s website is overflowing with Christmas spirit, leaving no room for “Grinches.”
Toys ‘R Us surprisingly puts “Christmas” front and center in its beloved catalog.
