The last week of November 2018 (week 48) was an all-time record for sales volumes in the GTN Bestsellers Christmas Top 50 chart, just pipping the previous record set last year by 1.5%.
However, for November as a whole, the GTN Chart index shows Christmas sales at 10% below last year. If we continue to avoid snow in the final run up to December 25th then that deficit could be easily turned around.
Highlights were:
Albert Premier Chocolate Gold Coins in Net 75g are the highest re-entry at No 5.
Lindor Lovers Advent Calendar is a new entry at No 30.
Playwrite have two more products in the Top 50; their Light Up Christmas Spinner with Neckcord comes in at No 35 and their Christmas Paper Chains are at No 44.
Pet Christmas products are increasingly popular this year. The Petface Small Plush Christmas Carrot Toy is a Top 50 new entry at No 42.
