Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2024: Everything you need to know to shop

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are two of the year’s biggest shopping days, and we’re here to help you create a winning plan for the 2024 holiday season.
Thanksgiving is later than usual this year, falling on Nov. 28, which means there are fewer shipping and shopping days between Turkey Day and Christmas.
Hanukkah, which begins Dec. 25, also starts later this year, so the time to start building your gift lists is now!
Fortunately, retailers are expected to roll out early Black Friday deals soon, so keep an eye out for upcoming sales announcements of what’s expected to be another huge post-Thanksgiving shopping season.
Below, you’ll find key information, but be sure to check back regularly as we get closer to the big events.
Black Friday falls on Nov. 29, 2024, the day after Thanksgiving.
Cyber Monday falls on Dec. 2, 2024. The online-only shopping event happens just a few days after Black Friday, and it’s known for offering some of the best deals of the season, especially in categories like electronics, fashion and home goods.
Cyber Monday is strictly an online shopping event. Black Friday and the days surrounding it typically offer the best deals on electronics, small appliances and one-off purchases like big-ticket home items.
If you’re tackling your holiday shopping list, either day will offer major savings.
However, Cyber Monday might be more convenient if you’re looking to avoid in-store crowds and shop from home. Amazon will likely be a popular destination for Cyber Monday sales, just as it has been in the past.
Walmart will be closed on Thanksgiving Day 2024 for the fifth consecutive year. Other major retailers are also expected to be closed.
Check store hours for Black Friday openings or shop online if you prefer to avoid the in-store crowds.
Be sure to check back for some early deals that will roll out in the next few weeks!
