Christmas 2019 is off to a rousing start, now up 9% year on year and set to be the biggest October for Christmas sales ever.

Time will tell if that means total sales will stay that far ahead or if it’s just a factor of people buying early this year. Whatever, the sound of money through the tills for Christmas this early is welcome.

 • Lotus Imports Ivy & Berry Mini Pick was the highest re-entry.

 • Sage Décor’s White Polar Bear Hanging Decoration was the highest new entry.

 • Smart Garden’s Kings & Queens Santa & Friends festive doormat climbed furthest up the chart.
