"I think this holiday season's gonna be about in-person shopping," Telsey said on "Squawk Box" Friday morning.
The winners Bath & Body Works is one company that typically does well but surprised during its third quarter while other retailers struggled, she said.
For the fourth quarter, Bath & Body Works expects per-share earnings between $1.45 and $1.65 compared with a StreetAccount forecast of $1.54.
Bath & Body Works stock has shed 42.1% in 2022, more than the S & P 500's 14.3% drop.
"When you walk the shopping center during Black Friday, that's where you're gonna see some of the longest lines," Telsey said, referring to Bath & Body Works.
