Home Bargains has cheekily stirred the pot with its latest social media post, warning its 1.1million Instagram followers that its announcement might ruffle a few feathers. The budget retailer sparked messages from hundreds online after uploading an image that reads: "There are only 100 days until Christmas .
" Acknowledging the potential for 'upset', Home Bargains captioned the post: "At the risk of upsetting a few." The comments section quickly became a battleground of emotions. A number of people expressed their dismay at the premature festive reminder, preferring to focus on the here and now rather than the yuletide season ahead.
Emma even confessed the update made her "feel sick". Meanwhile, Drew pleaded for a pause, saying: "As much as I love Christmas, can we not just concentrate on Halloween first?! " Val responded with a string of face-palm emojis. Yet, there was also a wave of Christmas enthusiasts who couldn't contain their joy.
One revealed a desire to start decorating immediately: "I wished my partner would let me put the Xmas tree up already", reports the Manchester Evening News . Annay gushed about her love for the holiday, proclaiming: "Absolutely love Christmas it's my forte!" Ffion echoed the excitement, commenting: "My fave time of year for sure!!!!" Another fan chimed in to say they "can't wait" for the Christmas decorations. The post even sparked some early festive greetings among friends.
Beccy playfully wished their friend: "Merry Christmas," while Cat nudged a friend with a timely reminder. Lauren didn't hold back either, encouraging her mate to "get the tree out." As of now, Christmas enthusiasts will be thrilled to know that there are only 99 days left until the festive season.
But before that, Brits have Halloween on October 31 and Bonfire Night on November 5 to look forward to. This news from Home Bargains follows its recent update of a new 'freedom' range . The store is now offering a wide selection of gluten-free food items, including cakes, muffins, loaves of bread, biscuits, noodles, and more.
Sharing the news on Instagram, the store posted a video of the items on shelves, with prices starting from as little as 79p. In the caption, Home Bargains said: "Say hello to freedom with our brand new ‘free from’ range! Now available in stores!".
