Summerween, the summer-meets-Halloween shopping trend, may have started out as a fictional holiday on the cartoon series “Gravity Falls,” but they were onto something. The characters on the show loved Halloween so much they decided to celebrate it in the middle of the hottest time of year, and this concept quickly gained momentum, becoming a popular seasonal shopping moment for lovers of Halloween, fall and all things cozy alike.
For some, the only thing spooky about this time of year is seeing Halloween decorations pop up in the middle of July while shopping for pool toys and sunscreen. For others, catching a glimpse of orange, spider-adorned coffee mugs and pumpkin-shaped decor on the shelves fills them with glee and anticipation.
Retailers, including Anthropologie, Bath & Body Works, Disney Store, IKEA, Michaels and more, are catering to the latter group, with Halloween collection drops arriving as early as mid-summer. And not only are they already getting a lot of buzz on social media, but they’re likely to see great sales too. According to our recent RetailMeNot survey of over 1,000 U.S. adults, 70% of consumers plan to shop for fall or Halloween items before September.

Summerween FAQs
What is Summerween?
Summerween is just as it sounds, Halloween and summer intertwined. Like “Galentine’s Day” February 13, which originated on the TV series “Parks and Recreation,” Summerween’s origins trace back to 2012 on the animated series “Gravity Falls.” The idea of getting out spooky decor and Halloween-inspired apparel in the middle of the summer continues to gain momentum year after year. According to our survey, the top reason why people shop for Halloween decor so far ahead of October 31 is because they enjoy fall and the cozy Halloween aesthetic.
Why are brands releasing Halloween collections so early?
Brands are releasing Halloween collections earlier in the year to meet growing consumer demand for these cozy seasonal products and extend the shopping window before Halloween. By releasing earlier in the year, they also give themselves a longer window to sell and less risk of seasonal inventory remaining in stock post-Halloween.
When does the Coach Halloween collection come out?
Coach‘s Halloween collection is likely to come out towards the end of September. Last year, Coach released its Halloween collection on September 25, 2025. In the meantime, you can shop Coach’s Halloween collection from last year on resale sites like Poshmark and eBay.
When does The Home Depot’s Skelly drop?
The Home Depot’s beloved 12-foot skeleton, Skelly, tends to appear in stores and online around early August, along with the rest of The Home Depot’s Halloween collection. Stay tuned!
Can I find Halloween collections on sale?
The only downside to shopping these Summerween collections is that, since it’s early in the holiday, these items aren’t being marked down yet. When it comes to seasonal drops, timing matters. But you don’t have to wait until the end-of-October clearance to shop with confidence and know what you’ll actually pay.
You can easily turn savings into a strategy, make better buying decisions, and shop smarter, not just cheaper. Here are the steps you should take to save on your Summerween purchase(s):
1. Download the RetailMeNot app and browser extension
We will take care of your cash back opportunities and coupon codes, so you can see the real final price before you buy. You just focus on deciding between a black cat or goblin printed throw blanket.
2. Join the retailer’s rewards program
Yes, you might get extra emails but you will also earn rewards points and often receive discount codes.
3. Check clearance sections
While the Halloween collections we’ve shared above are new for this year, you just might stumble across something on clearance from last year.
Cheers to Summerween! With our black cat-, ghost- and witch-adorned iced coffee and matcha glasses, of course.
