The first two weeks of December 2021 have seen higher sales than in previous years and as a result the GTN Bestsellers Top 50 Christmas Products index for the season to date sits at 2% up on 2020’s Christmas and only 1.2% down on 2019.
Given all of the issues with stock arriving late, or indeed not at all, this is a much better picture than some hoped for.
Highlights of the week were:
In the chart this week Steenland Gold Net Chocolate Coins 100g top the bestseller list, outselling the No 2 bestselling line by almost 2 to 1.
And Steenland Chocolate Coins 70g were the highest placed re-entry at No 20.
Still on a Christmas food theme, Mackies Pigs in Blanket Crisps, were the highest chart climber, up 24 places to No 21.
