Xochi’s specializes in handmade nativity scenes that come straight from Mexico. The shop’s owner travels there to pick out these cute and colorful knickknacks, hand-selecting which ones will appear on the store’s shelves. The smaller versions are the most popular, but they come in multiple sizes and color schemes. The Christmas season is the best time to pick up a set, but they often have a few in-store year-round.
