If you’re doing any last-minute planning, this is a helpful heads-up. 🎄

From department stores to grocers, many companies across the U.S. close early on Christmas Eve and shut their doors entirely on Christmas Day — while others opt to cut back hours.

A little Corpus Christi history for the season. Peppermint Lane is back downtown, bringing some old-school holiday magic with it. 🎄✨

Downtown Corpus Christi's Peppermint Lane is back on Chaparral Street—where it first dazzled holiday shoppers in 1964 and ’65. While the original Peppermint Lane drew families in with carnival rides and Santa photos, it was the iconic storefronts like Lichtenstein’s, Woolworths and Kress that turned downtown into a true holiday shopping destination.

Today, that spirit lives on. The Cosmopolitan now stands where Lichtenstein’s once welcomed crowds, and festive décor once again lines the street from Taylor to Lomax. Just like decades ago, Peppermint Lane continues to uplift local businesses and bring our community together.

✨ Whether you remember the magic of the 1960s or you’re experiencing it for the first time, Peppermint Lane is the perfect place to kick off your holiday shopping and support a thriving downtown!
