Canadian Thanksgiving 2025: What It Means for Dropshipping and E-commerce
Canadian Thanksgiving falls on the second Monday of October.
It's a time for family gatherings, gratitude, and — from a business perspective — a major shopping weekend before Black Friday.
Unlike the U.S. Thanksgiving in November, Canada's celebration kicks off the holiday shopping season earlier, which can be a big deal for dropshippers and e-commerce sellers.
If you run a dropshipping store selling to Canadian customers, timing is everything.
Many buyers start shopping in early October — for gifts, home goods, seasonal decor, and kitchen essentials.
Here's what happens during this period:
Shipping carriers get busier, and delivery times stretch.
Order volumes spike across platforms like Shopify, Etsy, and Amazon.
Returns and customer inquiries increase right after the holiday weekend.
HQ Fulfillment helps sellers stay ahead by offering:
✅ Multiple logistics channels for Canada (express and economy options)
✅ Real-time tracking with “hide China” feature
✅ Local warehousing support for faster dispatch
✅ No MOQ (start small, scale fast)
1. Home & Kitchen:
Thanksgiving dinners mean higher demand for cookware, decor, and tableware.
If you're sourcing products, make sure to order inventory at least 2–3 weeks early.
2. Fashion & Apparel:
Fall clothing and cozy accessories perform well.
Think flannel, scarves, and neutral tones — seasonal but evergreen.
3. Gifts & Personalized Products:
Thanksgiving drives emotional buying.
Customized gifts and packaging can make your brand memorable.
(HQ Fulfillment offers custom packaging and label replacement, perfect for branded gifting.)
