According to a Wall Street Journal article, online retailers clean up the Monday after Thanksgiving, said Jim Cramer Monday on his "Mad Money" TV show.

Throughout the holiday season, online retail sales are expected to grow 18% to $26 billion this year, said Cramer, and he wants you to buy United Parcel Service (UPS Quote) for a trade.

UPS will be the single biggest beneficiary of the growth in shopping over the Internet, said Cramer. "It's the obvious pin action play," he said. What's more, UPS is in "great shape right now because gasoline prices are falling."

The move to online retailing is part of the overall growth trend of Internet, he said, such as advertising dollars moving from newspapers to Google (GOOG Quote) and Yahoo! (YHOO Quote), he said.

Cramer also very much likes FedEx (FDX Quote), but he gives the slight edge to UPS.

Commenting on Amazon.com (AMZN Quote), Cramer said Amazon has nothing proprietary, is seeing competition "from everybody" and is "being eaten alive by shipping costs."

Amazon's earnings "never exploded" like they did for Google and Yahoo!, he said. Cramer would sell Amazon.

In response to a question about trucking companies, Cramer said none have the upside trade potential this holiday season that UPS has, but his favorite is trucking company Yellow Roadway (YELL Quote).

Swift Transportation (SWFT Quote) and Werner Enterprises (WERN Quote) are also both OK, he said.

However, Yellow is best of breed, and since Yellow has a fuel surcharge, it can "win both ways [with fuel prices] on the way down," he said.

Feed a Cold, Buy Zicam

Cramer's favorite way to play the cold and flu season is Matrixx Initiatives (MTXX Quote), which makes an over-the-counter cold product called Zicam.

The company is well run and has an effective, relatively unknown product, said Cramer. He believes that Zicam will gain market share this cold and flu season.
