Chances are you still have some Halloween candy around the house, but you now you can replace that with candy canes.

Halloween has been replaced by Christmas at local malls and stores, from decorations to Christmas music.

It’s also the start of the holiday shopping season.

The malls are decked out from Christmas trees to piped-in Christmas carols.

This all means the holiday shopping season has begun and Ran Ravitz from Redflagdeals.com told 680News more Canadians are shopping on Black Friday, which is just three weeks away.

“People are actually capitalizing big-time on the deals that are happening on Black Friday for Christmas gifts,” Ravitz explained.

Many people who have tweeted 680News say Christmas should wait until after Remembrance Day, while others say now is the perfect time to shop to beat the rush.
