when does hobby lobby christmas go on sale
Hobby Lobby’s Christmas merchandise usually goes on sale very early, with discounts that grow as the season goes on. In most recent years, shoppers start seeing Christmas decor at 40% off by late summer, then 50% off during November and early December, and much deeper clearance right after Christmas.
Quick scoop
- First markdowns: Christmas decor, trees, and crafts typically hit about 40% off from mid‑August through October. That’s when aisles first look fully stocked with seasonal items.
- Peak in‑season sale: Discounts commonly move to 50% off through November into mid‑December , including ornaments, decor, and many craft items.
- Pre‑clearance bump: In some years, shoppers have reported 60% off starting around mid‑December , especially as stores prepare for post‑Christmas clearance.
After‑Christmas clearance
- End of December: In the last week of December, Christmas markdowns often jump to 66–70% off , as Hobby Lobby clears space for new seasonal lines.
- Early January blowout: The deepest discounts (up to around 90% off) typically appear just after New Year’s, often around the first week of January , and can last only a few days before stock is gone.

Tips for catching the sale
- Check the current weekly ad before you go, because exact dates and discounts can vary by year and region.
- If you want best selection , shop during the 40–50% window in fall; if you want rock‑bottom prices , wait for the early‑January clearance and be ready for slim pickings.
