From early-morning scrolls to same-day deliveries, millions of customers turned to the retailer to kick off the holiday season, saving in stores, online and through the app across thousands of top products.\n\n\"We curated an incredible assortment of the most sought-after gifts — from Barbie to Vizio to Apple — at the best prices of the season,” said Latriece Watkins, Chief Merchant, Walmart US. “And thanks to our coast-to-coast Fast Delivery network, we delivered holiday magic to millions of doorsteps, with our fastest delivery completed in just 10 minutes.
