I am not sure if I can post Christmas Tree decor from different malls this year. But will try my best to go around towns and cities.
I have seen malls already put up Christmas tree skipping the Halloween.
Photo is of the Christmas tree being built in the Araneta City. It is an annual tradition to put up the tree like this.

@DaddyEvil Lol. You can enjoy it for sure but towards December I think you wouldn't like to go out to see the decors.

@jobelbojel Aren't people fed up with all things Christmas once the real thing comes at the end of December?

It is always a waste here. But people are enjoying it I guess.

@jobelbojel - With the Russian war we risk to be without electricity, all the Governments are asking the population not to waste and all the public lights will stay off this year.

That is not yet complete. They started from the tip of the tree. This is an enormous tree. I hope it will be up by November. Will check on Sunday after church.

@RubyHawk yes they will decorate the tree with lights and other ornaments. They usually put huge boxes underneath the tree as wrapped gifts.

For the first time Puregold mall here in my place has a Halloween decoration in the entrance but inside it is already decorated with Christmas decors. Maybe they will put the Christmas tree on December

We are always early here. I think I am not going to put up the Christmas tree at home to save on electricity.

Is Halloween even acknowledged in your country? Or, is the Christmas season the only one?

We don't normally celebrate Halloween. It was just lately that we mirror the celebration in the US like the trick or treat and some even dress up for the said occasion.
