Holiday Shopping Guides 2026
We may earn a commission if you buy through links on this page.
This is the shopping-weekend desk at TheDayOf: when the big US retail days fall in 2026, what they actually are, and a short list of things people usually shop for. It is separate from our shopping national days calendar.
Thanksgiving 2026 is Thursday, November 26. That pins the rest of the weekend.
2026 dates
| Guide | 2026 date | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Black Friday | Friday, November 27 | Day after Thanksgiving. Biggest in-store and online kickoff. |
| Cyber Monday | Monday, November 30 | Online-heavy follow-up. Electronics and shipping cutoffs. |
| Singles’ Day | Wednesday, November 11 | 11/11 online event, useful if you shop before Thanksgiving. |
| Gift Card Day | Sunday, October 25 | Plan cards before the rush, not a doorbuster day. |
| Green Monday | Monday, December 14 | Second Monday in December. Late online orders. |
| Super Saturday | Saturday, December 19 | Last Saturday before Christmas. Last-minute gifts. |
| Amazon Prime Day | June 23–26, 2026 (past) | Amazon’s summer member sale. Guide is for the next one. |
Small Business Saturday (November 28) and Shop Local days stay on the calendar. We do not put Amazon links on those pages.
How to use these guides
Each guide has the date, what to expect, a few product slots, and a short FAQ. Live prices belong on Amazon, not in our headlines. When a slot has a link, it uses our Associates tag (thedayof01-20). If a slot has no link yet, skip it.
Start with Black Friday 2026 if you are planning November. Use Cyber Monday if you would rather not set an alarm for a store.
