Cannabis sales during New Years in Alberta
When looking at total sales lifts vs the previous four weeks, we see some interesting trends in both US and Canada. New Year's Eve is the biggest day of sales during New Year's week year after year, but it was the biggest single Thursday of sales during all of 2020. In the US, the top performing categories were Beverages, Edibles, and Pre-Rolls. The category landscape was much different in Canada with the introduction of Cannabis 2.0 products, and the top performing categories were Concentrates, Edibles, and Flower.
