Holiday Shopping

Holiday shopping refers to the practice of purchasing goods and services during the holiday season, which typically includes a period around major holidays such as Christmas, Hanukkah, Thanksgiving, and New Year’s. This time of year is characterized by increased consumer spending, as individuals seek gifts for family and friends, decorations for their homes, and festive food and beverages.

Retailers often capitalize on this period by offering special promotions, sales, and marketing campaigns aimed at attracting shoppers. Holiday shopping can take place in physical stores, online, or through a combination of both, known as omnichannel shopping. The significance of holiday shopping extends beyond mere economic activity; it is also associated with cultural and social traditions where the act of giving gifts plays a central role in celebrations.
