Three seasonal retailers opened at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda ahead of Black Friday, blogger Robert Dyer reported on Nov. 11.
Winterwood and Just Cozy are brand-new tenants. See's Candies, an annual holiday fixture, is back for 2026.
Winterwood sells Christmas decor on Level 1, between Warby Parker and Lilly Pulitzer. Dyer described a Christmas tree bearing the message "Merry Christmas" greeting shoppers at the entrance, along with a Christmas light-wrapped Groot and a Santa-hatted Goofy. Items for sale include stockings, snow globes, tabletop displays and Christmas tree ornaments. Much of the merchandise appears to be handcrafted, Dyer wrote.
Just Cozy, a Canadian cold-weather brand founded in London, Ontario, carries loungewear, knit hats, mittens, leggings, slipper socks and blankets. The store is on Level 1, next to Urban Outfitters. The MoCo Show previewed the opening on Nov. 3, noting the brand specializes in affordable cold-weather apparel and accessories, including faux-fur-lined winter leggings.
See's Candies has downsized from a full store to a kiosk this year, according to Dyer. The kiosk sits on Level 1 of the Macy's wing, near Lilly Pulitzer. Beyond the chocolate assortment gift boxes the company is known for, the kiosk stocks molasses chips, lollipops, hot cocoa mix, Victoria Toffee and branded mugs. See's has been in business for 105 years, Dyer noted.
The three openings join several other tenant changes at the mall. The MoCo Show's November roundup also listed PacSun returning after closing in 2023, a Zara two-level store expected in December and a Tesla holiday pop-up in the Nordstrom wing.
