We already have the Christmas tree lights on the shelf (in the Netherlands we also celebrate "Sinterklaas" on December 5). Mind you, we sell the all year round, from 27 December until 6 December we call them "party lights" and from 6 December until Christmas they're Christmas lights.
A traditional Dutch treat for Sinterklaas are "pepernoten" and they usually go on sale in August. By the time it's Sinterklaas everybody's fed up with pepernoten because they've been eating them for months.
