Christmas hampers in Ghana signify care, appreciation, love, and unity. They serve as a key way for families, organisations, and businesses to share festive joy, boost local trade, and help the underprivileged.

As part of the Christmas celebrations, GhanaWeb’s Patience Adu took to the streets to engage traders about hamper sales during the 2025 festive season.

Some traders agreed that this year’s sales are better than last year’s because prices of goods have dropped, while others said last year was better due to the election.

"The market is very good. We're just getting into the festive season, but so far, the market is very good compared to last year," a trader noted.

"Compared to this year, last year was very good. But all the same, it is still moving, so we thank God for that. I also want to extend warm greetings to my family and loved ones," another trader said.

However, the majority of market women praised the current government for the recent drop in prices, noting that items bought at higher cost last year are now selling for less.

"By the help of the current government, prices are very low, especially for foodstuffs. Compared to last year, prices are very low. And one thing is we don’t struggle to get the goods to sell," one trader said.
