Christmas is a magical time of year, but when you’re living abroad, there are certain things you simply cannot imagine celebrating without. Maybe it’s the smell of mince pies warming in the oven, a proper Christmas pudding after dinner or a box of Quality Street shared with family. Whatever your traditions, it’s often the little things that make Christmas feel like Christmas.
That’s where Kellys Expat Shopping comes in. Whether you’re dreaming of a traditional British Christmas dinner or looking for your favourite American holiday treats, we’ve got everything you need to bring a little taste of home to your celebrations.
From Christmas crackers and festive chocolates to stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce and all the essentials for a proper roast dinner, our shelves are filled with familiar favourites. And of course, no Christmas would be complete without mince pies, Christmas puddings, shortbread and plenty of Cadbury chocolates!
Christmas traditions, wherever you are
Living in the Netherlands doesn’t mean leaving your favourite Christmas traditions behind. For many British and American expats, the festive season is all about recreating those familiar moments from home. Decorating the tree, preparing a big Christmas dinner and enjoying the treats you grew up with are all part of what makes the season special.
And if you’re celebrating with Dutch friends or family, why not introduce them to some of your traditions? Christmas crackers at the dinner table, a slice of Christmas pudding or a first taste of mince pies might just become a new favourite tradition.
Your Christmas shopping made easy
At Kellys Expat Shopping, we know how busy December can get. That’s why we bring together so many of your favourite British and American Christmas products in one place.
Since opening our first shop in The Hague in 2008, we’ve grown to six stores across the Netherlands, with locations in The Hague, Wassenaar, Amsterdam, Utrecht and Rotterdam. Can’t make it to one of our shops? Our webshop delivers across Europe, so you can stock up on festive favourites without leaving home.
From traditional Christmas dinner essentials to stocking fillers, advent calendars and seasonal treats, there’s always something to discover. Whether you’re planning a big family gathering, hosting Christmas dinner for friends or simply enjoying a quiet holiday at home, we’re here to help make it special.
Because Christmas should feel like home
Christmas is about more than presents and decorations. It’s about familiar flavours, shared traditions and the memories that come with them. And sometimes, all it takes is a mince pie, a cup of tea or your favourite Christmas chocolate to make home feel a little closer.
So wherever you’re spending Christmas this year, let Kellys Expat Shopping bring a little bit of home to your holiday celebrations.
