Canadian Thanksgiving 2025: What It Means for Dropshipping and E-commerce


What is Canadian Thanksgiving?

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.Canadian Thanksgiving dropshipping


Why It Matters for Dropshipping

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.
