Another Facebook user described the decision "sad and pathetic" while a third shopper joked that the eggs may be "last spring's leftovers".
Morrisons has also begun stocking Easter chocolate products just one day after Christmas, with seasonal treats already appearing on shelves on Boxing Day.
Among the early arrivals is the Terry's Chocolate Orange Minis Exploding Candy Easter egg, priced at £1.50.
The swift transition to Easter confectionery was first spotted and shared by food blog Newfoodsuk, which announced the Easter egg's availability at the supermarket chain.
The public reaction on social media has been notably divided, with contrasting responses flooding in.

"Stop it! Christmas isn't over yet," commented another shopper.
