Americans will spend a record $18.4 billion on Easter this year. The National Retail Federation, in its annual Easter forecast, said that number is 6% larger than the $17.3 billion spent in 2016. The organization credits the late Easter for driving spending. Most consumers have almost an entire month to shop for Easter this year, and by the time the holiday comes the weather should be significantly warmer than last Easter, said Matthew Shay, NRF president and CEO.
