As Christmas Day approaches, the streets of Accra are buzzing with festive energy, and retailers are experiencing varied sales.

In a post by Metro TV Ghana on X on December 24, 2025, traders shared their perspectives on the season’s sales.

One shop owner expressed optimism saying, “So far, as we're concerned, sales have been fabulously fabulous. This is the best we've seen in the last eight years.”

The boost is attributed to increased consumer spending, festive decorations, and effective marketing. However, not all traders are seeing strong sales.

“The business isn't booming this year. Last year's items sold well, but this year I'm idle; people buy occasionally,” one retailer lamented.

Despite challenges from fluctuating prices, traders remain hopeful that sales will pick up on Christmas Day, as shoppers seek gifts, decorations, and food items.

The festive spirit continues to energise both businesses and shoppers, creating a sense of hope and prosperity ahead of the holidays.
