Black Friday and Cyber Monday have come a long way since their origins as shopping holidays in the U.S. These days, you’re equally likely to find Canadian retailers offering their own sales and deals, making the stretch of days following American Thanksgiving the perfect time to score deals on holiday gifts.
The first Cyber Monday launched in 2005 as a way to encourage online shopping. It quickly became a success, and has established itself as the best time of the year to shop online for deals on clothes , toys and household essentials . Ahead of this year’s sale, find everything you need to know to shop Cyber Monday like a pro below.
This year Cyber Monday falls on Dec. 2, 2024. Cyber Monday takes place on the Monday following American Thanksgiving, and is the grand finale to a weekend of post-holiday sales – since that date changes from year to year, so does Cyber Monday.
Similarly to Black Friday deals that will be kicking off throughout November, you’ll be able to shop Cyber Monday sales ahead of the date itself. While most of them will be pretty similar, early deals may not include typical Cyber Monday perks like free shipping on all orders or extra gifts with purchase. We’re already keeping track of the best online deals in Canada and will continue to update this article as more sales and promotions are announced.
However, if you want the most up-to-date Cyber Monday deals, check back in on Dec. 2. The best way to stay on top of this year’s best Cyber Monday sales and deals is to plan ahead.
