The holidays are arriving six months ahead of schedule at <a href="https://johnscrazysocks.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">John's Crazy Socks</a>, where the company's Main Street retail store is hosting a Christmas in July sale and celebration on Friday, July 24, and Saturday, July 25.
The event marks one of the first major seasonal celebrations at the store since its grand opening ribbon-cutting in June, and it gives the Huntington Village community another reason to stop into the colorful, mission-driven shop at 328A Main Street.
Sale and celebration, all in one weekend
Throughout the Christmas in July sale, shoppers can expect winter-themed discounts storewide, along with holiday decorations and photo opportunities throughout the store. The celebration builds to two signature events:
<ul>
 <li>Christmas Eve &mdash; Friday, July 24, 6:00 to 8:00 PM: A visit from Summer Santa, Santa Story Time, and a Christmas Carol Sing-Along, along with giveaways, games, and cookies.</li>
 <li>Christmas Morning &mdash; Saturday, July 25, 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM: Photos with Santa, a snowball fight, and holiday games and surprises throughout the morning.</li>
</ul>
Both events are free and open to the public. Families are invited to dress the part: pajamas, John's Crazy Socks gear, and Hawaiian shirts are all welcome.
A store built to be a destination
John's Crazy Socks was founded in Huntington in December 2016 by John Cronin, who has Down syndrome, and his father, Mark Cronin. For nearly nine years, the business operated entirely online, shipping socks and gifts around the world. This year, after years of customers asking for a physical location, the company opened its first retail store right in the heart of Huntington Village.
The store was designed to be more than a place to shop. It's a place where customers can meet John Cronin in person, see the company's mission in action, and experience the same colorful, joyful energy that built the brand's following online. 
As one customer put it, &ldquo;I walk in the store and instantly feel happy.&rdquo;
Christmas in July is the store's latest opportunity to bring that experience to life.
Why a summer Christmas
Summer is historically the slowest season for the sock business, a pattern the company has seen since its early years. Rather than wait out the slow months, the team decided to create their own reason for the community to celebrate.
"We know summer is the slowest time of year for a sock business: nobody's thinking about cozy socks at the beach," said Mark X. Cronin, co-founder of John's Crazy Socks. "So, we decided if the calendar wouldn't bring us Christmas, we'd bring Christmas to Huntington ourselves."
John Cronin, the company's co-founder and Chief Happiness Officer, plans to be at the store for both days of the celebration, as he is whenever he isn't traveling. "I love Christmas, and I love our customers," said John. "Why wait until December to have both?"
About John's Crazy Socks
John's Crazy Socks is a mission-driven business built on a simple idea: that people with differing abilities have something extraordinary to offer the world. Since 2016, the company has shipped more than 500,000 packages to 94 countries and donated over $850,000 to charity partners, including Special Olympics New York. More than half of the company's team members have differing abilities. The Huntington Village retail store shares its home with the company's fulfillment center and podcast studio.

Pure + Kiwi: Calm-first skincare for sensitive skin

Pure + Kiwi Skincare

Pure + Kiwi is small-batch skincare made for sensitive, reactive, and hormonally stressed skin - the kind that can’t handle harsh scrubs, strong fragrance, or “sting to prove it works.” I’m Sonali, founder of Pure + Kiwi. I grew up in New Zealand, surrounded by nature-led rituals and the botanicals I still draw inspiration from today. I started making skincare at home after my daughter developed eczema and I struggled to find products that felt both gentle and truly effective. What began as a personal solution became a mission: create calm-first formulas that support the skin barrier and help reduce flare risk - without sacrificing results. What we offer:  • Barrier-friendly moisturizers, comfort treatments, and everyday essentials  • Discovery Kits designed to help you try products safely before committing  • A quick skincare quiz and simple routines so you know exactly what to use (and when) What makes us unique:  • Calm-First Method: cleanse, calm, and seal - routines that feel safe and easy to stick with  • New Zealand-inspired botanicals + modern skin science, chosen for comfort and performance • Founder-led guidance: you’re not left alone after checkout - we help you build a routine that works for your skin  • Small-batch, thoughtfully made with a focus on sensitive-skin needs If your skin is prone to redness, dryness, itchiness, or sudden reactivity, Pure + Kiwi is here to help you get back to comfortable skin - with products that feel good the first time you use them. Local + Online: Find us Sundays 9–1 at the Huntington Winter Market — and we ship too. Website: purekiwigoods.com | Instagram: @purekiwigoods

Protecting Long Island Yards From Mosquitoes & Ticks 

Mosquito Brothers

On Long Island, enjoying your backyard is not always as simple as it should be. With increasing mosquito activity, growing tick concerns, and more awareness surrounding illnesses like Lyme disease, alpha-gal syndrome, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, homeowners in Nassau County and Suffolk County are paying closer attention to what may be hiding in their grass, shrubs, and yard edges. That is where Mosquito Brothers comes in. Mosquito Brothers is a veteran-owned Long Island company specializing in professional mosquito and tick control. Our mission is to help families reclaim their outdoor spaces through dependable service, strong communication, and a higher level of care. Unlike large franchise operations, we take a more personal approach, understanding that every Long Island property has its own challenges, from leaf litter and shaded fence lines to dense shrubs, wooded borders, and other hard-to-reach areas where mosquitoes and ticks frequent most. What helps set Mosquito Brothers apart is our commitment to an Integrated Pest Management approach. Rather than relying on a single method, we use a thoughtful, multi-step approach because one treatment style alone can often fall short on Long Island. As one of the few companies in the region offering more extensive tick control methods, we focus not just on treating a property, but on addressing the conditions that allow these pests to thrive. Using professional-grade products and high-powered equipment, we are able to penetrate the protected areas where mosquitoes and ticks commonly rest and hide. At the center of it all is our Care Factor Promise — a commitment to helping protect the people and four-legged loved ones who matter most through a hassle-free, organized, and reliable experience
