"Every morning while walking my dog, I pass a giant digital countdown to Christmas on my neighbor's lawn. Lately, it's been making me feel the urgency to get my holiday shopping finished ASAP. On top of that, we have less than two weeks until the big day - and if I order some gifts online, they may not arrive on time."
"I shopped for Christmas gifts for my husband and teenagers at Walmart and Target. Prices seemed similar at both chains, but Target had more sales and a better overall holiday vibe. I like Walmart, but I wasn't as impressed by some departments and my overall shopping experience. So, after a recent morning walk, I hopped in my car and headed to two of my nearest big-box retailers, Walmart and Target, to finish my Christmas shopping."
Every morning during dog walks, a giant digital countdown to Christmas on a neighbor's lawn increased urgency to finish holiday shopping. With less than two weeks until the holiday and potential shipping delays, an in-person shopping trip to Walmart and Target occurred to buy gifts for a husband and two teenagers. Prices appeared similar between the two chains, but Target offered more sales and a stronger holiday atmosphere. Walmart remained a preferred retailer, but some departments and the overall in-store experience felt less impressive compared with Target during the 2025 holiday season.
