It’s still August for fucks sake.

Does ANYONE want to see Christmas shit in the supermarkets in the summer holidays?

I said similar when I saw chocolate Santa's in Morrisons earlier this week.

gamerchick · 28/08/2025 19:19

All the Christmas stuff was starting this week in a lot of places. Not just Tesco.

Petrolitis · 28/08/2025 19:19

Home bargains too, they've got Xmas stuff out.

MamaElephantMama · 28/08/2025 19:20

Home Bargains have Christmas trees on display. It’s ridiculous.

x2boys · 28/08/2025 19:20

It gets earlier and earlier !

EchoedSilence · 28/08/2025 19:21

It's not just in Tesco.

PashaMinaMio · 28/08/2025 19:22

It is tedious and ridiculous so I just walk on by and don’t look at it.
Same as scrolling past things on my phone!

HisNeckIsHigh · 28/08/2025 19:22

I bought a Cadburys christmas 'pud' today and DH had Morrisons bakery mince pies last night 😬

You've fallen right into their trap by posting about it!

SummerEve · 28/08/2025 19:23

I hate this. It really should be illegal!

JSMill · 28/08/2025 19:23

I remember last year being in the queue in Sainsbury’s in October. The old lady in front of me was complaining about Christmas stuff being in the shops too early…. while she was buying a pack of mince pies!

I love love love Christmas. But it has to be after Halloween at least for festivities. YANBU

Ohmych · 28/08/2025 19:28

I've been moaning about the Xmas tubs of celebrations every time I've been in Asda in the last few weeks. I love Xmas but it's way too early. Let's just enjoy Summer before it ends first.

It wont be long till the creme eggs & easter eggs are on sale.

This is why christmas doesnt feel like christmas anymore.

Oblahdeeoblahdoe · 28/08/2025 19:31

I tell Tesco to fuck off every week. Can't wait for the new supermarket that's opening soon.

Sarah2891 · 28/08/2025 19:32

I got a 'Christmas is here' email from a shop last week. Ridiculous.

TheDandyLion · 28/08/2025 19:32

The week after August bank holiday. Tis normal no?

Goody2ShoesAndTheFilthyBeast · 28/08/2025 19:33

If it didnt sell they wouldn't waste shelf space on it.
Enough people must buy at this time of year for it to be financially worthwhile.

Tbf I do like a mince pie and it did cross my mind if I should buy some and eat them all but I didn’t, it’s the principle of the thing! 🤣

I couldn't believe it when I went into Home Bargains today and they already have a Christmas aisle. Ffsake!!

Dogaredabomb · 28/08/2025 19:34

But, it's August!!!!! It's Summer! I'm still on Summer!!!!

It hasn't even been Halloween yet! And what is up with the creepier and creepier decorations each year, moving hooded skeletons, porcelain dolls prams and such like in the shops. Honestly enough to give adults nightmares, let alone children.
But I digress. Yes I hate it too op, and it only puts unnecessary pressure on everybody thinking they'll not be getting more stock in, yet they always do (usually).

It is honestly a wonder they don't sell them all year around, and completely ruin the novelty factor, I wouldn't be surprised.
