Even though Christmas is over two months away, a new survey suggests many BC residents will dig deep into their pockets to buy those holiday gifts.

According to PWC Canada, BC residents are anticipated to spend $2,126 this holiday season – trailing only the Prairies who are expected to dish out $2,188.

The survey notes Millennial and Gen Z consumers plan to spend the most money.

Gen Z consumers are expected to start their holiday shopping earlier between the Thanksgiving and Black Friday weekends.
