New to winter markets 2025 By Ellen Wagner

Start out 2025 strong with these winter markets, including expanded dates, showrooms and products.

The new year marks new beginnings. Retailers can start 2025 with the opportunity to source new products in new and expanded showrooms at trade shows this winter.

Dallas Market, from Jan. 8-14 at the Dallas Market Center, will be the first show of the new year. The market will connect retailers and manufacturers in home décor, gifts, gourmet, housewares, accessories and lighting. For January 2025, a new neighborhood of Western and English showrooms will debut, complementing the existing exhibitors inside the largest marketplace in the world for the business of Western and English.

When Dallas Market Center announced its 2025 market dates, it included a shift in the March 2025 markets to better serve retailers and to manage regional holidays including spring breaks. For buyers and exhibitors, the updated calendar will mean the ability to plan ahead for future shows in Dallas.

“Our mission is to help retailers succeed by maintaining a calendar with market dates set well in advance but also making adjustments to provide the most convenient and inspiring experience possible,” said Cindy Morris, president and CEO of Dallas Market Center.

Winter 2025 Atlanta Market will feature updates and more brands across all categories during the Jan. 14-20 event at AmericasMart Atlanta, according to ANDMORE. Highlights include the winter debut of a reimagined Gardens category and The ( A ) List program in Atlanta.

AmericasMart Atlanta offers 6,000-plus product lines with more than 1,000 showrooms. To date, Atlanta Market brings more than 30 updates across gift and home resources, with new, expanded and relocated permanent showrooms, designed to provide a refreshed merchandise mix this winter, ANDMORE said.

“ANDMORE is dedicated to providing a dynamic and impactful experience this January with iconic categories and thoughtfully curated sourcing throughout the campus,” said Jon Pertchik, ANDMORE CEO. “Whether retailers are seeking innovative products to enhance their offerings or designers in search of ideal solutions for their projects, Atlanta Market presents unparalleled opportunities and connections this January.”

Due to overwhelming demand, according to the company, Toronto Market Week will run for four full days from Jan. 25-28 at the International Centre.

The show will feature an expanded floor plan and selection of exhibitors across key industries, aiming to provide unparalleled access to the latest products and trends. Toronto Market Week will include offerings from apparel, accessories, jewelry, gift, home, toys and more.

“The demand for Toronto Market Week continues to grow, and we are thrilled to extend the event to four days, allowing buyers more time to explore and engage with our diverse exhibitors,” said Tiffany Gin, show manager for Toronto Market Week. “Our show stands apart as a truly comprehensive marketplace, creating the ideal setting for retailers to discover new products and forge meaningful business connections.”

Las Vegas Market will take place Jan. 26-30 at the Expo at World Market Center Las Vegas. Las Vegas Market’s campus has four buildings showcasing more than 3,500 gift, home décor and furnishings lines in permanent showrooms, along with 550-plus temporary exhibitors.

“The diversity of resources offered to buyers at Las Vegas Market is truly exceptional,” Pertchik said. “With a focus on renewed and returning gift resources, better home furnishings and premium programming, Las Vegas is the place to be in January.”
