Amazon said in a Wednesday press release that the 2022 Thanksgiving weekend was its biggest holiday shopping weekend ever and that it sold “hundreds of millions” of products during the period. The e-commerce giant declined to share exact figures with Retail Dive regarding how many products it sold between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday and how much revenue it generated compared to previous years.
The company said home, fashion, toys, beauty and Amazon devices were among the top-selling categories. Amazon’s Echo Dot and Fire TV Stick, and Apple’s AirPods, were some of the best-selling items during that weekend. Champion and New Balance apparel also did well.
Shoppers spent more than $1 billion with small businesses, per the press release. Among the most purchased items from small businesses were games like “What Do You Meme? Family Edition” and “Kids Against Maturity: Card Game For Kids and Families.”
