How Early Is Too Early To Start Talking About Halloween?

Apparently, the answer to that question is NEVER! At least according to Home Depot.

Over the last few weeks, Home Depot has been teasing new arrivals for their Halloween decoration aisle even though it's only April. Back in March Home Depot teased "A sneak peek into spooky season" on social media.

One fan wrote in the comment section "I’m already laughing the same usual comments that people always leave every year saying “Buts it’s March?” The comment went on to say “Home Depot I love you and really excited for this spooky season."

They shared photos of a glowing skeleton, an adorably ugly troll, skeleton pirates and a plant like creature that's giving Little Shop of Horror vibes.

Plus there's new additions like Lethal Lily a 7-foot-tall witch and Cabernet Casualty...a skeleton with glowing eyes, popping out of a barrel.

Take a look at the new additions for Halloween 2026 at Home Depot below!
