After countless hours spent in preparation for our holiday festivities, now is the time to sit back, relax and enjoy! We hope this post finds you spending quality time with loved ones nestled around the Christmas tree, enjoying morning coffee and conversation. The anticipation and excitement of opening presents palpable in the air, paired with the smells of your favorite treats wafting in from the kitchen.

No matter your traditions or how you choose to celebrate, we hope you have a magical day filled with kindness and care for yourself and for others. Sip and Ship is wholeheartedly thankful for customers like you who support us not only during the holidays but all year long! Appreciation is an understatement, and every visit to our small but mighty stores makes a difference.

Both store locations will be closed 12/25 and 12/26 to allow our staff to rest and enjoy the holiday. We are eager to serve you again first thing Wednesday morning at 8 a.m.

From all of us at Sip and Ship, we truly hope that we helped make this the most stress-free Christmas yet. Wishing you extra laughs, warmth, and joy throughout the rest of the year!
