Christmas treats have already appeared on the shelves in Epsom, even though it’s still August.
The festive season has slowly but surely begun at Sainsbury’s on Kiln Lane.
On Thursday, August 29, shoppers were surprised to find a selection of festive treats prominently displayed in the bakery section.
Among the seasonal items were mince pies, frangipane mince pies, Christmas puddings, Ecclefechan tarts, Stollen cake, and rich fruit cake slices.
The mince pies even have a best-before date of December 7, which is still two weeks before Christmas Day.
Despite the upcoming Halloween season, no Halloween-related products were seen in the store.
As of August 30, Christmas Day is 117 days away.
