There are five fewer days between Black Friday on Nov. 29 and Christmas Eve because U.S. Thanksgiving is later this year .

Pre-Black Friday sales are likely to start even sooner than in prior years as retailers try to push traffic to their stores.

Black Friday remains the top holiday shopping day for Canadians .

“Retailers plan their assortments a year in advance so having five fewer days to sell products between Black Friday and Christmas is not new news (for them),” said Amlani . “Yet the retailers will still panic during holiday selling and will blame this shorter period for the lack of sales.” This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 25, 2024 .
