Jingle bells, Christmas trees and hot chocolate may be over 100 days away but in a discount retailer in Darlington it looks like it’s time for holiday cheer already – do you think it’s too early?

B&M on Northgate is already getting into the Christmas spirit this year with everything from clothes to gift sets already available in store.

Festive preppers can go and get their hands on pyjamas, chocolate, dog treats and toys, socks, Christmas bags and wrapping as well as signature stockings in time for the big day in December.
