Why settle for ordinary jingle bells when you can add a haunting twist to your holiday season? Here at Spencer’s, we love celebrating Creepmas, which perfectly blends the horrors of Halloween with the magic of Christmas. According to Creepmas.com, Creepmas was officially created in 2011, uniting those who love spooky stuff with another scream-worthy holiday. And while Creepmas celebrates Krampus instead of Santa, it still captures the same magic as Christmas (but with a beautifully gothic flair).
So, this Christmas, consider embracing your dark side. Set up your creepiest decorations, let your favorite Terrifier movies play in the background, and enjoy a sinister holiday season! Wondering how to celebrate Creepmas? We’re here to help. Here are some ways to make your Creepmas merry and macabre:
Deck the Halls with Dread
Swap out those classic ornaments for skulls, black garlands, and eerie fairy lights. Add a festive but frightening centerpiece, like a black Christmas tree decorated with bats, spiders, and blood-red baubles. And, of course, remember to pay tribute to some of your favorite horror villains, such as Ghost Face, Art the Clown, or Michael Myers. If only they could all come over for dinnerโฆ
Make Some Scary-Good Treats
Put a creepy spin on holiday classics. Bake gingerbread men with skeleton icing or whip-up cookies shaped like coffins, ghosts, or scary Christmas trees. For drinks, how about some blood-red punch? Serve your drinks in something from our epic line of horror drinkware inspired by all the greatest slashers.

Host a Creepmas Movie Marathon
Gather your fellow horror fans and screen a lineup of spooky holiday classics. Dive into flicks like Gremlins, Krampus, and Black Christmas. Add some festive popcorn dyed green and red for a gory good time!
Give Gruesome Gifts
There’s no need for cute stuff this holiday season. Surprise your friends with gifts that’ll make them scream. Some of our top gift suggestions include horror movie-themed blankets, creepy ornaments, or a graphic tee inspired by a horror legend. Wrap it all in black-and-red striped paper for that eerie touch. Want to take Creepmas gifting to the next level? Set up a secret “Scare-a-Claus” gift exchange, where everyone brings a spooky-themed gift.
Dress to Distress
Santa suits are fine, but why not channel a zombie Santa or an elf on the shelf who is always watching? Whether you’re going for a creepy Krampus look or a gothic take on classic holiday cheer, make sure your outfit screams Creepmas vibes. Consider one of our horror Christmas sweaters and celebrate the holidays the way you really want to.
Creepmas is the ultimate twist on a classic holiday, blending the best scares and seasonal spirit. So, don your eerie apparel, deck your haunted halls, and have a frightfully festive season. Most importantly, have a very scary Creepmas!
