The boots were polished. The lights were strung. And on December 5th, Zapp Hall in Warrenton, Texas opened its doors for three days of holiday shopping that felt less like a market and more like a party you didn't want to leave.
The Christmas Show ran Friday through Sunday, December 5-7, 2025 - and it delivered exactly what you'd expect from a venue that doesn't do anything halfway. One-of-a-kind gifts you won't find at the mall, cold drinks at the Bubble Lounge, good food at the Café, and Saturday night, Glen Templeton took the stage with Matt Caldwell for a set that turned the whole thing into a December to remember.
This is the kind of show that makes holiday shopping feel the way it's supposed to. No fluorescent lighting, no parking lot chaos - just great finds, great people, and Christmas lights strung across a Texas dance hall.
Here's a look at every dealer who brought the sparkle to the Christmas Show 2025:
Leather and Vodka: Handcrafted bag charms, purse chains, braided leather straps, and one-of-a-kind revamped luxury handbags - the kind of gift that stops people in their tracks. If you were shopping for someone with serious taste, Kay Layne's team had the answer. @leatherandvodka
Kneaded Fashion: Vintage silk scarves, statement jackets, and handmade wearable art that proves the best gifts have a past life. Every piece Kneaded Fashion brings is one of a kind - which means if you see it and love it, you grab it. @kneadedfashion
Allred Leather Company: Dian Allred hand-tools every piece out of her Austin studio - leather goods made with the kind of patience and craft that's getting harder to find. Women's accessories and home décor with a heritage feel and a long life ahead of them. @allredleathercompany
Laguna Boss: Custom fishing rods, holiday wood décor, charcuterie boards, whiskey smokers - Laguna Boss is proof that the best gifts are the ones someone actually made with their hands. Founded with a fisherman's patience and a woodworker's eye for detail. @lagunabosscraftsmanship
Allie Falcon: Southwestern artist, desert dreamer, and maker of bold wearable art with a fresh, funky edge. Allie's hand-drawn designs bring a creative voice to western fashion that you don't see everywhere - or anywhere else, really. @alliefalcon
CH Metal Works: Home of the original Horseshoe Belt Buckle - and a full lineup of western metal pieces that blend tradition with modern design. The kind of gift that gets worn, not shelved. @ch_metalworks
Cowhides Galore: Authentic hides in every shade and size, each one genuinely unique. Classic, rugged, and the kind of piece that anchors a room and gets better with time. If you've been thinking about a cowhide rug, this is where you pull the trigger. @cowhidesgalore
Pairabelles: Mary Hummert has an eye for the kind of piece that has a story behind it - vintage décor, wearable treasures, and soulful keepsakes pulled together from across Texas and beyond. Always curated, always charming, never the same show twice. @pairabellestx
Splash of Life: Pam creates one-of-a-kind cow skull art and ornamental home décor layered with bold beadwork, color, and Western character. The kind of piece that stops people mid-sentence when they see it on your wall. @pamiam_splashoflife
Wild Honey TX: Karen's booth is a full mood - vintage finds, boutique clothing, and home décor with a soft western edge that feels lived-in and intentional. The kind of shopping experience where you go in for one thing and leave with five. @wildhoney_tx
The Brass Line: Jenny Kiser curates authentic horse brass medallions, belts, buckles, and character-rich pins into pieces that feel both wearable and collectible. Bold, distinctive, and made for people who don't want to look like everyone else. @thebrassline
The Zapp Hall Café kept everyone fueled and the Bubble Lounge kept the spirits up - which honestly, is half the reason people keep coming back.
