John Lewis has unveiled its Christmas shops in-stores nationwide, featuring more than 1,000 decorations up for grabs.<\/p>\n

The move comes as demand for festive products has soared since the launch of the John Lewis online shop last month, according to the department store company.<\/p>\n

Sales of Christmas decorations have jumped 25% compared to the same time last year while sales of wreaths have soared 107%.<\/p>\n

Supersized decorations including the store\u2019s new Holiball giant inflatable baubles are set to be bestsellers this year, while sales of Christmas lights have risen tenfold.<\/p>\n

A pick and mix bauble station will debut at the retailer for the first time, where shoppers can mix and match six baubles for \u00a316.<\/p>\n

Santa\u2019s Grotto and Santa Paws will also return to 10 John Lewis stores from 22nd November, while 25 stores will be hosting \u201cTea with Santa\u201d.<\/p>\n\n
