One of the earliest celebrations occurred in 1933 at the Keystone Camp in North Carolina. Later, a comedy film titled Christmas in July increased its popularity.
Irish tourists in Sydney’s Blue Mountains in 1980 convinced a hotel owner to hold a “Yulefest” party after seeing snow during their summer vacation.
Christmas in July began in Europe from a longing for the winter chill and festive celebrations during the summer warmth.

Shopping early gives you a head start on setting up for Christmas. With shopping and decorating out of the way, you can put your mind at ease and enjoy the holidays.
Begin Christmas shopping as early as September to take advantage of sales and ensure popular items don’t sell out. You can also shop mid-year sales in July so you'll have more time to budget and plan seasonal decorations.
People decorate for Christmas early to extend the festive spirit, enjoy their decorations longer, and reduce stress by spacing out holiday tasks.
Shops start selling Christmas items early to meet customer demand, stay ahead of competitors, and give shoppers time to plan and purchase over several weeks.
It depends on what your priorities are for the holiday season. Shopping early lets you find better deals, avoid crowds, and ensure timely delivery. Meanwhile, shopping after Christmas is ideal for discounts and clearance sales, perfect for stocking up on decorations for next year.
