I've been covering all the major shopping sales events for over four years, and in that time I've discovered the best hack for saving money at Christmas is to start shopping a year ahead in the Boxing Day sales.
It might sound a little extra, looking ahead to next year's Christmas when there's still turkey leftover from this year. However, every year, when looking through the best Boxing Day home deals, the biggest savings I find are nearly always on Christmas decorations that retailers haven't been able to shift before the 25th.
Whether you are looking to save money on big-ticket items like the best artificial Christmas tree, or cutting small costs by stocking up on bargain wrapping paper, shopping for Christmas now (or in January) could half the amount you spend on Christmas 2025.
I've already looked at all the Christmas supplies on sale this Boxing Day, and these are the ones I'm planning to stock up on ready for next year.
Christmas decoration sales
- Argos: big savings on Habitat Christmas decorations and trees
- Dunelm: Save on Christmas bedding and tableware
- Lights4fun: 50% off Christmas lights
- John Lewis: Save Christmas tree decorations and festive cards
- The White Company: 30% of super stylish wreaths and garlands
- B&Q: low prices on Christmas storage and decorations
Buy now or regret later
In my opinion it's never to early to start shopping for Christmas, especially if it means spreading the cost over the year and making some serious savings to spend of gifts for your loved ones next year.
