The turkey’s corpse is not even cold yet, but the Easter bunny is already dancing on its grave.

People have been posting pictures of Easter paraphernalia already on the streets of supermarkets in the UK.

Co-op appears to be the first out of the starting blocks with many stores already putting their Easter eggs out on display.

Co-op responded saying: ‘As a convenience retailer, our stores often have limited backroom space which means products go on-shelf when space appears. Sales figures also show that many customers will buy chocolate eggs as soon as they can.


Fireproof cabbage wrote on Reddit: ‘I got a tub of Miniature Heroes for Christmas that has cream eggs in. They’re not even egg shaped, and it’s still December. It feels wrong in every way.’

However, Co-op aren’t the only ones – Natalie, from Bedfordshire, posted her friend’s picture on Twitter after he saw Cadbury’s Caramel, Creme Eggs and Mini Eggs on display at Tesco in Great Suffolk Street, London.

She said: ‘WTAF? January last year was too soon but Boxing Day is bloody ridiculous!! Please can we stop this incessant pushing of the next festival before the current one has even finished? It’s wrong!! Easter eggs should go out on March 1st!!!!’.
