Dec. 9, 2020

With lights in the trees and lampposts, Gingerbread Houses, and beautiful decorations in the windows, downtown New Canaan is demonstrating a great deal of Holiday Spirit! The stores have been working all year to make sure their shelves are stocked with unique gifts for everyone on your list.

By following the Chamber on YouTube, Facebook or Instagram, consumers will be able to peek inside over 20 stores to learn about their holiday gift offerings. The idea for the Holiday Doors of New Canaan Campaign came from brainstorming sessions the Chamber held with local merchants via Zoom this September. The goal was to create an opportunity for stores to showcase some of their products and assure potential customers that they can shop with them safely. The campaign started on December 3rd and each day a new business is featured. The Chamber wants to remind shoppers to “Think Local First” when making holiday gift lists. “The videos are designed to inspire viewers and make them realize the depth and breadth of products and services available in New Canaan’s stores” says Laura Budd Executive Director.

Budd continued, “While COVID may have robbed New Canaan of its Annual Holiday Stroll, downtown New Canaan’s stores and restaurants have a lot to offer. By watching the videos, shoppers will learn that New Canaan is open for business and customers can feel safe as all the stores are following strict safety protocols."

Bankwell, Walter Stewart’s Market along with Stewart’s Wine and Spirits stepped up to Sponsor the campaign once again demonstrating their commitment to New Canaan’s business community.
The videos which are being filmed and produced by New Canaan based Marketing Company Nurenu Brand Marketing and are utilizing the Voice Over talent of local resident John Patrick Walsh.
