About this update from Jones Lang Lasalle Incorporated

TORONTO , Nov. 25, 2025 /CNW/ -  JLL , a global leader in real estate services, has released its annual Canada Retail Holiday Survey  unveiling shopping preferences and trends across the country. Canadian shoppers are planning to spend an average of $1,646 this holiday season across gifts, experiences, and non-gift items such as food and decorations. This represents an 8% increase from last year, amounting to roughly an additional $122 in holiday spending. Notably, the entire increase is driven by higher spending on experiences and non-gift items, underscoring a clear shift in how Canadians are choosing to celebrate. When it comes to where they're headed for holiday shopping and experiences, Canadians are turning to shopping centres, with 90% saying they'll visit at least once this season. "Holiday errands are turning into holiday outings with shopping centres being the focal point," said Paul Ferreira, Senior Vice President, Retail, JLL Canada. "With experience budgets rising and gift spending tightening, shoppers are engaging with centres more intentionally, combining shopping, dining and entertainment in each visit."
