Retail Holidays - Seaking - Oct 5, 2022
I was out at lowes yesterday and they have already moved all the Halloween stuff from the floor to two small isles and Christmas trees and lights are already up. I thought it was nuts, but in a few more stores around here it's the same thing. Anyone else notice this? Hopefully it's just a local thing where i'm at.

It all starts too early. Christmas covers 4 months of the year it’s insane

Walmart put up all the Xmas stuff in the garden section, Halloween is still the main focus

Just walked into hobby lobby and 80% of the store is Christmas with little Halloween

Because they know the sooner they put it out the sooner people will buy it

The stores in my country have had Christmas sweets & chocolate out since the end of August / start of September.

Agree, It's all put up too early. But it is not only a matter of retailers milking holidays (though most of it is).
1) Things have to be put up in advance so people can buy and decorate before the holiday.
2) Companies prefer to be early rather than miss dates

Christmas actually isn't so far away it's crazy it goes so quick.

Eventually it's going to sell, they want to get as much in the store as possible.
