Updated on Friday, December 6, 2024: Kohl’s After Christmas Sale is quickly coming up once again and is expected to follow the same formula as in previous years, with deep discounts on leftover and clearance inventory across categories like apparel and home goods, with extra Kohl’s Cash offered on top of that. Here’s everything you need to know about the sale, including key dates, what to buy, and how to make the most of the offers.

When Does the Sale Start and End?

Kohl’s After Christmas Sale is expected to begin on December 26, 2024, both in stores and online at kohls.com. The event will likely run through January 21, 2025, giving you nearly a full month to take advantage of the markdowns.

However, if you want to maximize your savings, the first day of the sale—December 26—is a key date to remember. On this day, Kohl’s is expected to reintroduce their Kohl’s Cash offer, which allows shoppers to earn $10 in Kohl’s Cash for every $50 spent. This is a major incentive to shop early, as the earned Kohl’s Cash will likely be redeemable from January 1 through January 7, 2025.

What Discounts Can You Expect?

The After Christmas Sale at Kohl’s is traditionally one of their biggest clearance events of the year, offering discounts of 50% to 70% off on a variety of items. It might be even better this year as firsthand reports on TikTok show a lackluster holiday shopping season. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect based on previous years:

End-of-Season Clearance

• Seasonal items, including holiday decor, gift wrap, and ornaments, are typically marked down by up to 70% off. These are great deals for those looking to stock up for next year.
• Apparel from Kohl’s exclusive brands and national labels also sees significant markdowns, with winter clothing and accessories often discounted by 50% or more.

Home Goods and Kitchen Essentials

• Expect major savings on bedding, small kitchen appliances, and storage solutions. These categories often have steep discounts during this event as Kohl’s clears out inventory to make room for new arrivals.
• Past sales have included deals like 60% off select bedding sets and 50% off small appliances such as air fryers and coffee makers.

Toys and Kids’ Items

• Toys, games, and kids’ clothing are usually heavily discounted as Kohl’s wraps up the holiday season. Look for clearance prices on popular brands and exclusive collections.

Fitness and Wellness Gear

• With the new year just around the corner, Kohl’s often promotes fitness-related items such as exercise equipment, activewear, and wellness tools. Discounts of 30-50% off are common in these categories.

How Does Kohl’s Cash Work During the Sale?

One of the standout features of Kohl’s After Christmas Sale is the Kohl’s Cash program, which allows you to earn rewards for future purchases based on how much you spend. Here’s a quick guide to how it works during the sale:

Earning Kohl’s Cash

• Last year, for every $50 spent in a single transaction, you earned $10 in Kohl’s Cash. This applieed to purchases made both in-store and online.
• The earning window is expected to be December 26, 2024, meaning you’ll need to shop on this day to take advantage of the offer.

Redeeming Kohl’s Cash

• The redemption window is typically in early January, likely January 1–7, 2025 this year. During this time, you can use your Kohl’s Cash to save on future purchases.
• Kohl’s Cash can be combined with other coupons or discounts, though there are exclusions (more on that below).

Exclusions to Note

• Kohl’s Cash usually cannot be earned or redeemed on Sephora at Kohl’s merchandise, gift cards, Kohl’s Cares items, or services like taxes or shipping.
• If you return an item purchased during the earning period, Kohl’s may reduce your refund to account for any Kohl’s Cash that was earned or redeemed on the transaction.

   • It cannot be redeemed for cash or applied to past purchases.
