I remember when people were saying "Labo is not a flop, it will sell like crazy during the holidays for kids, it's just a first soft launch, you'll see!". Good times. 

Well to be fair, the head of Nintendo France said he expected 80% of Labo sales to come during the holiday quarter which led many of us to believe they were going to have a massive marketing campaign for it during that time but that never happened.

It just seems weird that they had so much confidence in its holiday sales if they weren't going to give it any extra push.

Yeah it's potential was as a holiday product but I have not seen any advertisements to take advantage of the holidays. Almost as if Nintendo gave up on Labo mid-year. Strange. I hate when Nintendo makes lackluster decisions. Happens way more often than it should.
