This is a cute shop to browse. There are A LOT of unique ornaments, nativity scenes, decorations, figures, candles, toys, & more! Display trees have different themes. There are also some Easter items. The ladies we interacted with who worked there were friendly, helpful, & personable. Christmas music plays in the background. There's a little sign-in book to leave your mark that you were there & see the names of travelers who have also visited.

It's the best store in Solvang!!! It always has been. Family run. Actual Danish items, Swedish too. Not just lame t-shirts from some other location. The clerks are so nice. They wear Scandinavian clothing. A beautiful store. We always buy several items every time we go.

A place that is 24/7/365 Christmas. When you step inside the store, it feels like you're walking into Santa's workshop. If you are looking for hand crafted Christmas ornaments, this is the place. The details especially on the wood carving pieces will take your breath away. The clerks work very diligently like elves and will assist you with all the Christmas needs. They also package them very well when you purchase them so you don't have to worry about carrying back to your home. You definitely won't find anything like their product so when you have a chance to visit Solvang, this is a must. It will be worth of your time.

Jule Hus. Christmas House. The 4 of us, my daughter, her two children, and myself, were completely unprepared for the warm hospitality, not to mention the delightful collection of twinkling Christmas treasures, trees covered in imported ornaments, creches, and really beautiful religious decorations, that occupied every nook and cranny of this quaint shop located in the heart of quaint Solvang. This store never changes. The delightful Christmas-only inventory is here to draw you in year-round. I promise it will bring the sparkling-eyed child out in everyone. But the real jewel of this very special store was the friendly owner, David Watts. I liken him to a Hans Christian Anderson of this generation. He quietly smiled and proceeded to softly chat with us, obviously quite in love with his shop. He shared his family history and the tale of how this store came to be. Upon asking him about some very fragile, German-made wooden Pyramids he had displayed next to his cash register, his answer was so compelling, I decided these would be a perfect Christmas gift for my two adult families. Historically German-made wooden toys are quite special. David meticulously wrapped each piece as he relayed the story of how these blade-twirling, candle-lit art pieces came to be. The children were in awe. My 10-year-old grandson, a staunch Christmas lover and believer, pronounced this was the best place ever! Their grandma (me) was eternally grateful for how special he made this visit. We now have an extraordinary piece that will be lovingly displayed and treasured each year, that will remind us of a very precious time together in 2022.

This is a sweet little Christmas store in the heart of soul in California. If you need a little Christmas all year round, this is the store for you. It is full of everything Christmas. There are many Christmas trees up that are decorated with ornaments. You can purchase, and each tree is themed. They have traditional ornaments they have ornaments that say Solvang, California on them if you are looking for a souvenir from your trip. Not only do they have Christmas things in the store, but they also have little gifts and recipe books that you could buy as well. I bought nephew recipe books there, as gifts and a few for for myself, and they have always been hits. The women who run it are so lovely. They're friendly and welcoming you in with open arms. They will chat with you, share, silly Christmas jokes with you and help you with anything that you need. So if you were ever stopping in town for a look around, make sure you hit up this wonderful Christmas store.

"It's A Small World" music box...

If there ever was a place where the staff were most friendly and helpful, it would be here at Jule Hus! My family and I were visiting Solvang, California when we happened upon this gem! Well worth the time we spent on looking at everything the store had to offer... From outside, the architecture and decor reflected Danish origins - and attractive enough to entice anyone to come inside and see what the store offered. Inside, it just smelled of Christmas! And inside was everything Christmas! My family and I went around the store, picking up trinkets to bring back to Sacramento. My purchase was a music box that played "It's A Small World", and a Charming Tails figurine - both to display in my office. The price was affordable - a far cry from the price I was actually expecting to pay for such items! Christmas is here at Jule Hus! If you have a need to feel the spirit of love and happiness, you just have to come inside and enjoy the place and what it offers!

Such a cute Christmas shop that is open year round. Located on the main street of Solvang, Jule Hus gets a lot of foot traffic. The ladies inside are super helpful and always make great recommendations. I love Christmas so I had to stop by. The store has tons of decorated Christmas trees inside and other souvenirs that you may need haha. They also sell table decor and other unique Christmas ornaments if you want something other than standard ones. I bought some clogs for my Christmas tree.

When I was researching for things to do in Solvang, I saw this on the list. As my hubby and I arrived last month, I was excited as this place was across from the inn we stayed at. I love Christmas so to see a year round place to buy gifts, ornaments and everything Christmas related made me ecstatic. I ended up buying a Denmark shoe ornament to commemorate my visit. Great customer service!

Ornament making process

What a fun store! Jam packed with all varieties of Christmas ornaments, many of them made by artisans in Europe. I enjoyed chatting with the friendly and knowledgeable employees- they said December gets really busy and they don't have time to chat but otherwise they enjoy sharing information with customers. The ornaments aren't too expensive but are beautiful- I learned a lot about the process of ornament making!

Beautiful ornaments!

Charming shop showcasing plenty of cute ornaments. I tend to stop at every Christmas-themed store on any trip commemorate my travels in the form of a souvenir ornament. This place has very appealing displays of ornaments, some Danish and a variety of tasteful, unique ornaments. I easily chose several ornaments, all reasonably priced. The couple who operate this store are cheerful and friendly. Definitely, stop in if you love Christmas decor.

See all

Friday, 12-20-2024: We were strolling around Solvang before leaving for home when we came upon…read morethis charming store with the festive Christmas decorations in the front. It beckoned me to enter with the promise of treasures beyond their doors. It is a beautifully organized and decorated store. Curated items were professionally displayed. There was a lady behind the counter but she avoided greeting me. I know this is a tourist town because the pricing was high. I do understand the mark up is needed to sustain the running of this business, etc. I will wait to return to Old Town Temecula where they sell the exact same items for much lower. It is a beautifully appointed store.

Right before Safer at Home became official, Dear Hubby and I took a day trip to the Santa Ynez…read moreValley. We spent part of the afternoon strolling in Solvang. This is one of the stores we stopped in during our wanderings. It's beautifully displayed, with many different feature areas. From unique kitchen gadgets and accessories, to home accents of many different types, there's much to see and consider here. Full retail is in effect, and some of the items seem very pricey, which is the reason for a one star reduction. Still, I found it very enjoyable to browse their selections, enjoying the stylish displays. I did find several items to take home, plus picked up a couple small gifts. I particularly love a silicone spatula I bought here, which has an ergonomic design that makes it comfortable to use. I don't know how they'll manage reopening / whether they offer buy online and pickup with minimal contact. I hope that they'll be able to survive the Coronavirus situation!
