Shoppers are furious after spotting that Home Bargains has already launched its Christmas range in store – before summer is even over.

The high-street bargain shop has filled their shelves with boxes of lights, ornaments and advent calendars ready for the festive season.

But it’s come a tad too early for some people, with 128 days still to go until the big day, reports Need To Know.

The budget chain also came under fire last year when one of their North Wales stores put out “Santa Stop Here” signs in August.

And it’s clear that there was no stopping them again this year.

In a post, which has racked up over 1,000 likes, pictures of Grinch-themed gift bags, ornaments and baubles are shown.

Users have flocked to the comments to share their reactions, with many people not quite ready to spread the Christmas cheer.

Karen said: “Still waiting for summer.”

“Jeez…. I have mixed views on Christmas in August. Far too early for me but I also appreciate it allows people to spread the cost over a few months which is helpful to some,” added Sarah.

Frank said: “Just looking at this makes me feel cold on the out and inside.”

“I literally just mentioned this about Christmas stuff being in the shops probably before kids even go back to school,” Nikki added.

Samantha said: “I absolutely love Xmas like love it but this is ridiculous haven’t finished summer holidays yet it had Halloween ! Far to early! It’s all about money in retail I guess.”

However, some lovers of the festive season welcomed the early arrival.

Julie commented: “Yaaaaaa, that means that it’s nearly autumn. I’m so happy that summer is nearly over, especially my summer SAD. Now looking forward to Christmas cards in Card Factory.”
