In this episode of Let’s Talk Shop, I’m joined by Anne-Claire Morel, International Marketing Manager at Faire, to uncover what’s trending in wholesale and retail buying ahead of Christmas 2025.

We dive into the data-driven insights behind what retailers are actually searching for and buying right now – from vintage Christmas décor and cosy classics to the rise of the “little treats” trend. Whether you’re a brand selling on Faire or looking to reach more stockists, this conversation will help you understand how buyers think, what’s performing well, and how to make your products easier to discover.

You’ll learn:

• What’s driving Christmas 2025 wholesale trends

• The top product categories and colour palettes performing on Faire

• How to optimise your listings with keywords and filters

• Why low minimum orders and seasonal refreshes matter

• How to use Faire Direct and marketing tools to grow your wholesale sales

Perfect for product-based business owners, makers, illustrators, and designers who want to increase wholesale orders, attract more retail buyers, and plan a strong Q4 sales strategy.
