If you’re a savvy Target shopper, you know there’s no need to pay full price on many holiday items when you can buy them on sale after Christmas. The post-holiday season is the perfect time to get great deals on all things festive. Whether you’re looking for seasonal décor, holiday gift sets, cozy Christmas pajamas, or peppermint-scented candles, many items are marked down. It’s the ideal time to stock up for next year or treat yourself to something special. Here’s a list of the best things to buy after Christmas at Target.
Holiday Candles
Target discounts holiday-themed candles after Christmas, such as these adorable peppermint candy candles and gingerbread house-shaped candles. I’m definitely coming back to pick up the peppermint candles when they go on sale. It’s the perfect time to stock up on these festive scents for next year or enjoy them at home throughout winter.
Christmas Kitchen Towels
I never pay full price on Holiday kitchen towels because they will always go on sale after Christmas. Target will mark down these Christmas-themed kitchen towels after the holidays, such as these fun peppermint candy towels, silver Christmas tree towels, and winter scene towels. Stock up on them post-Christmas at a fraction of the price.
Advent Calendars
Target will discount Advent calendars after Christmas, making it a great time to stock up for next year. However, by the looks of the empty shelves, my local Target may be sold out of advent calendars by the time the post-Christmas sale starts! If you’re lucky enough to find Lego advent calendars at a deep discount, buy them for next year.
Festive Dog Clothes and Toys
After Christmas, Target will have great deals on festive dog clothes and holiday-themed dog toys, such as these Merry Christmas sweatshirts, festive pet bandanas, snowflake plush toys, and Happy Holidays squeaky toys.

Holiday Coffee Blends
Limited-edition Holiday coffee, such as these festive Keurig cups with flavors like Starbucks Holiday Blend and Starbucks Gingerbread Blends, will usually be at a deep discount at Target after Christmas. I always wait until after Christmas to buy them at a discount. I don’t know about you, but I don’t mind drinking festive coffee blends all year round!
Christmas Pajamas
I never pay full price for Christmas Pajamas; I either buy them on Black Friday or after Christmas, when they go on major sale. After Christmas, Target usually has amazing discounts on Christmas pajamas for the whole family, such as these Wondershop 2-piece PJ sets. Whether you’re looking for matching family sets or cozy flannel bottoms, post-Christmas is the perfect time to buy them.

Holiday Booties
Cozy Holiday booties are usually discounted after Christmas. However, because the inventory of holiday booties at my local Target is sparse, I may not be able to buy them at a discount this year.
