It's that simple. Isn't this a bit much?...It's October 21, 2026, and Christmas products are already on display. I understand the business side of things, but we're losing sight of the true meaning of the holidays.

That's the case with all major retailers, and it won't change just because people point it out with such regularity every year...

I stocked up at the Migros Outlet on window decorations, wrapping paper, ribbons, and cellophane bags—probably from last year—all 50% off. This way, I can comfortably steer clear of all the Christmas hustle and bustle and even save some money. The fact that the shelves are already full of Christmas items is an issue every year. Just don’t buy them if you don’t want to. Apparently, people are buying them—otherwise, they wouldn’t stock them.
Hi Claudio, for logistical reasons, deliveries to stores are made in several phases. As a result, some stores may have their Christmas assortment on display as early as mid- or late October.
In addition, for many customers, the pre-Christmas season is the coziest time of the year, as the days grow shorter and colder. Many people get involved right from the start—for example, by making an Advent calendar.
Migros already offers plenty of ideas and a colorful selection of little surprises. Candles and other decorations are already very popular with many customers in the fall. Fresh pastries and baking mixes are also among the most in-demand products.
Migros’ goal is to help make the pre-Christmas and Advent season as enjoyable as possible for you and to spread some holiday cheer. Best regards, Mara

What bothers me in this context is the lack of price tags on these items. My store has been stocking tons of Christmas items for quite some time now. A few of them have price tags, but the vast majority have no price listed on the shelf. That’s a no-go, if you ask me.

If that's the reasoning behind this decision, why not start as early as August or July?
In the past, they used to start in mid-November, if not late November, to accommodate the holiday schedule and common sense. That’s really a shame, especially for the children themselves and the magic associated with the holidays.
But by now, this seems to have become the norm. The Carnival decorations will probably go up on January 7, 2027, while the Easter decorations will follow on February 15, 2027.

Carnival? We have Fasnacht :D, and actually, we don't have Halloween or Oktoberfest either. Instead, we have Räbeliechtli and maybe a harvest festival or an onion market. It's all been imported just to make money, with cheap decorations from China : (
