NHS Holiday 2026: Santa Cruz, Creature & Independent at The Dark Slide

The NHS Holiday 2026 selection at The Dark Slide is here, bringing together Santa Cruz, Creature Skateboards, and Independent. There’s gear for your next session, something warmer for the season, and a few gifts that belong in a skate shop long before they belong in a department store.

Shop the NHS Holiday 2026 collection to see the current selection and available sizes.

Santa Cruz reissue decks: available to preorder

The Holiday 2026 collection also includes four Santa Cruz reissue decks: Jammer 8.66-inch, Keith Meek Slasher 10.1-inch, Salba Tiger 10.3-inch, and Christian Hosoi Collage 10-inch. These decks are currently preorders. Check each product page for its expected release timing and updates.

Orders containing preorder items ship together when every item is in stock. Free shipping covers one package.

Santa Cruz: Screaming Hands, headwear, and gifts

Santa Cruz brings plenty of familiar graphics to this lineup. Screaming Hand string lights add a little skate-shop atmosphere to a room, while the Thermal Hand tote and Dressen Pen Roses backpack put the artwork to everyday use.

For cooler days, look through the beanies and hats, including MFG Vector, Speed Freaks, Dressen Pen Roses, and Cozy Knit styles. The collection also includes socks, youth apparel, stickers, keychains, air fresheners, and a Classic Dot doggie hoodie—because the dogs can get in on it too. Check the dog hoodie listing for its size and weight guidance.

Creature: Hellraiser and gear for the horde

Creature’s horror graphics fit this time of year. The Creature x Hellraiser collection includes a graphic tee, heavyweight pullover hoodie, sweatpants, a structured snapback, and a Long Shoreman beanie.

Beyond Hellraiser, this Holiday selection includes the Creature Web 18-inch dart board, Hallucination web belt, REV Support beanie, and Web skull cap. The dart board gives you something to do between sessions; the headwear and belt carry Creature’s graphics into your daily rotation.

Read our Creature x Hellraiser blog for a closer look at the wider collaboration.

Independent: Built to Grind, even off the board

Independent has some of the most distinctive gifts in the group: the Stage 11 truck mug and keychain, plus the Rat Race wall clock featuring artwork by Ben Horton. They’re easy picks for someone whose favorite part of a setup is what’s underneath it.

The ITC Street Script belt and beanie round out the everyday gear, with Built To Grind work gloves also in the collection. Check each product page for the design, fit, and other details.
