Home For The Holidays 2025: A Record-Breaking Day of Holiday Cheer in Rockport-Fulton

The holiday season is just around the corner in Rockport-Fulton, and we're getting ready to do it all again! As we count down to our 2026 Home For The Holidays event on November 4th, we're looking back at last year's celebration and the incredible community that made it such a success.

Hosted by Spears & Co Real Estate at the Fulton Convention Center, Home For The Holidays 2025 welcomed more than 700 shoppers - far exceeding our original goal of 400 attendees! From unique holiday gifts and local vendors to photos with Santa, festive treats, and plenty of Christmas cheer, it was a wonderful reminder of what makes this community so special.

A Record-Breaking Day of Shopping Local

With 29 vendors filling the convention center, shoppers had plenty of opportunities to discover something special for everyone on their holiday lists. The variety of businesses created a lively shopping experience filled with festive displays, unique finds, and inspiration for the season ahead.

One of our favorite parts of Home For The Holidays is bringing local businesses and shoppers together in one place. Shopping small supports the people who make our community unique, and seeing more than 700 shoppers come out to support these businesses was a highlight of the event.

The festive atmosphere, creative vendor booths, and welcoming spirit made the day memorable for shoppers and vendors alike.

Holiday Magic for the Whole Family

Home For The Holidays is about more than shopping. It's about making memories and kicking off the holiday season together.

Santa was a highlight of the evening, welcoming visitors for photos and helping create special holiday moments. Children also received gifts and had the opportunity to send Santa their Christmas wishes through special letters. The photos and letters were shared with families after the event, giving everyone a little something extra to remember.

Guests were greeted with champagne and a shopping bag filled with goodies from our sponsors. Coffee, hot cocoa, and an assortment of desserts added to the cozy holiday atmosphere, and festive decorations transformed the convention center into a cheerful place to gather.

Shopping With a Purpose

At Spears & Co, supporting our community is an important part of who we are. Home For The Holidays gives us an opportunity to celebrate local businesses while also making a positive impact beyond the event itself.

While there is no entry-fee, shoppers are asked to bring a non-perishable donation to support the Rockport-Fulton Good Samaritans. And thanks to the generosity of our sponsors and participating vendors, the 2025 event brought in enough funds that we were able to make a donation to The Well, extending the spirit of giving beyond the holiday shopping season.

We're grateful to every sponsor and vendor who helped make this possible. Your support allowed us to create a memorable community event while giving back to an organization doing important work.

A Community Effort Worth Celebrating

An event of this size takes a team, and we couldn't have done it without the many people who contributed their time, resources, and enthusiasm.

A heartfelt thank-you goes to our sponsors, participating vendors, our agents, the Pirate Booster Club, the NJROTC and everyone who helped bring Home For The Holidays to life. From assisting with parking to creating beautiful booths and keeping the event running smoothly, your contributions made a difference.

And to the more than 700 shoppers who joined us: thank you for showing up, shopping local, and making the event bigger and better than we imagined. Your enthusiasm and support made all the planning worthwhile.
