How long do the after Christmas sales last for?
The after Christmas sales have evolved a bit in the last few years, and while the name refers to one specific day, the sales actually last much longer than just 24 hours. Last year we saw some retailers kick off their Boxing Day sales a week before Christmas, and with the retail climate and uncertainty that 2020 has brought us, we wouldn't be surprised if things started even earlier this year.
The sales will almost certainly last up to the end of the year, when the New Year sales will come in to play. So basically that means that anytime between now and the beginning of January, you stand a good chance of making a great saving.
Does the USA have Boxing Day sales?
Boxing Day sales has never been recognised terminology in the US, instead the 26 December usually marks the start of many US retailers 'after Christmas sales', which is basically the same thing. US-based retail giants like Amazon, Walmart and Best Buy usually offer some excellent last-minute Christmas deals, and we fully expect such offers to continue throughout the holiday period.
