This is a very good point and if you're looking for something to do TODAY this should be on your list. The turnaround time on passport renewal is 6-10 weeks and that will presumably be slower around the holidays.

I think it’s actually closer to $150 CAD. It’ll probably be a big run on processing in December but I can deal with waiting, since I have a valid Canadian passport. But I’d advise anyone to get that renewal before January.
also, since just this last September, you can renew your passport entirely online if you meet certain criteria. You can even take your own photo to upload and not have to mail in your old one.
I should clarify (I wrote that right after I woke up) - you don't have to mail in your old passport, you just keep it and they void it electronically. and you can take your own digital photo for upload. only downside is they don't offer expedited service, so expect up to 6 weeks delay
Sorry, yeah. For online renewal it has to be expiring within one year, or no more than 5 years already-expired. If you have more than a year left on a 10-year passport, it looks like you can renew even earlier, but it must be done by mail.
I'm going off the timeline the State Department and a couple other resources have provided with that schedule - but I am psyched to hear people saying expediting really works
