With the sun shining outside and Halloween still weeks away, Christmas couldn't have been the furthest thing from our minds… until we stepped into the Christmas Market at Brown Thomas.

A dedicated Christmas area opened at Brown Thomas stores  in Dublin, Cork and Limerick last week, catering to anyone planning ahead for the upcoming festive season, and S! TV headed along for a first look.

This year's Christmas range is divided into four themes – Ice Palace, Venetian Winter, I Love Candy and of course, Santa's Journey. With a huge selection of seasonal decorations, gifts and food on offer, there's no shortage of temptation.

Roll on December 25th…
