Thanksgiving Weekend Christmas Decor Deals Explained
Learn when decor deals dropped, what stores charged, and what to verify before you shop this weekend.
Thanksgiving weekend Christmas decor deals are limited-time price cuts on trees, lights, inflatables and related holiday items. The five-day shopping period runs from Thanksgiving Day through Cyber Monday and mixes early November events with Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers. In 2025, that weekend drew heavy traffic.
According to the National Retail Federation, 202.9 million U.S. consumers shopped over the five days, up from 197 million in 2024, in a survey cited in its record Thanksgiving weekend results.

Why shoppers target this weekend for decor
Black Friday remained the busiest day of that 2025 weekend. According to the National Retail Federation, 80.3 million people shopped in stores and 85.7 million shopped online that day, as reported in its record Thanksgiving weekend results. That split matters for decor.
Trees, light sets and inflatables take shelf space, so stores push them in person. Small lights, replacement strands and tabletop pieces also sell well online. High foot traffic can mean picked-over shelves by Saturday.
Online listings can sell out too. Shoppers looking for a set color, size or style often face fewer choices late in the weekend.
When stores released holiday offers
Large chains did not wait until Thanksgiving week. According to The Home Depot, its Black Friday Savings Event ran Nov. 5-25 in stores and online, as described in its 2025 Black Friday announcement.
Lowe's described four weeks of Black Friday deals starting Oct. 29, covering tools, appliances and holiday decor. It also pointed loyalty members to additional seasonal decor collections and rewards perks.
Walmart split its 2025 Black Friday into separate events. According to Walmart, the events ran Nov. 14-16, Nov.
25-30 with in-store shopping starting Nov. 28, plus online-only Cyber Monday on Dec. 1, as listed in its 2025 Black Friday schedule.
Walmart+ members received five-hour early online access windows.
What the discounts looked like
Adobe forecast broad online discounting for the 2025 season. According to Adobe, U.S. online holiday sales for Nov.
1-Dec. 31 were expected to reach $253.4 billion, up 5.3% year over year, with discounts up to 28% off list price, as stated in its 2025 online holiday forecast. Cyber Week was expected to contribute $43.7 billion.
Store ads gave concrete decor examples. The 2025 Home Depot event advertised a 6.5-foot LED pre-lit tree for $49.98. It also listed select 3.5-foot inflatables for $19.98 and 100-count LED lights from $5.98.
Those were dated, advertised prices, not everyday prices. The tree price suits shoppers who want a full-size pre-lit tree at a lower entry point. The lights and small inflatables fit smaller budgets, porches, apartments and add-on pieces.
What limits should you check first
Advertised decor prices are time-bound and can differ online versus in stores. Items may sell out, and some early-access windows require a paid membership. Shoppers should verify dates, eligibility and availability before assuming weekend prices apply.
Use this quick check before you plan a trip or place an order: For 2025, Walmart tied its five-hour early online windows to Walmart+ membership. Verify the current season dates and membership terms before counting on the same window.
- Note the event dates and whether in-store shopping starts later than online access.
- Compare the online price with the store price for the same size and count.
- Check membership rules for early windows and whether stock is reserved.
- Confirm pickup, delivery, return and quantity terms for large trees and inflatables.
