How a Walmart After-Christmas Sale Works
The day after Christmas is one of the busiest shopping days, and gift returning days, of the year and one of retailers’ last opportunities to move massive amounts of merchandise. Christmas sale decisions are made at both the corporate level, which supplies stores with markdown lists, and at the stores, themselves, based on how well the merchandise has sold so far and on inventory leading up to Christmas. There are many other factors that influence what the after-Christmas sales will be.
- Weekday vs. weekend: The day of the week Christmas falls on affects the scope of the after-Christmas sale. As Christmas is on a Sunday this year, many people will have Monday, Dec. 26 off so this could increase traffic, prompting Walmart to roll out more deals. Regardless of the day of the week, after-Christmas discounts typically are steeper than discounts leading up to the holiday.
- The Saturday before Christmas: Known by retailers as Super Saturday, is typically the second-busiest shopping day of the year, after Black Friday. If the Saturday prior to Christmas is quite busy it could reduce the stock that goes on sale the day after Christmas.

Home entertainment and home office tech products top the list of pre-Christmas deals, with especially good discounts on streaming devices.
