Mastercard's SpendingPulse report estimates sales rose about 3% between mid-October and Christmas.
E-commerce rose almost 50% as the pandemic drove online sales.
The report also says many shoppers started making holiday purchases earlier than normal due to stores that rolled Black Friday deals weeks ahead of time.
