After-Christmas sales are where you find super cheap wrapping paper and Christmas lights for next yearโs festivities. But at Kohlโs after-Christmas sale, youโll get oh-so-much more.
Youโll find โChristmasโ clearance in every section, allowing you to save money on everything from vacuum cleaners to air fryers. These sales can sometimes rival those youโd see during Kohlโs Black Friday sale, and theyโre made even better by overlapping Kohlโs Cash promotions.
Itโs going to take a little work to optimize your Kohlโs savings strategy. Luckily, weโve done the heavy lifting for you just like we do every day when you download The Krazy Coupon Lady app.

1. Kohlโs after-Christmas sale has discounts across every category.
Some stores only do Christmas clearance for candy-striped prints and tree toppers. But things are different at Kohlโs.
Youโll find discounts in literally every section of the store starting on Dec. 26. The items that are on sale are usually immediately marked down by 30% โ 70%.
Then technically, thereโs a markdown to 80% off that happens sometime around Jan. 14.
ย
Here are some Kohlโs deals we found during their after Christmas sale:
- Burtโs Bees Bounty Assorted Mix Lip Balm 4-Pack Holiday Gift Set โ $5.99
- Burtโs Bees Hydration Station Holiday Gift Set โ $7.49
- Christmas Wreath & Garland Bag โ $9.99
- Cuddl Duds Flannel Sheet Set โ As low as $19.19
ย
2. Take the 30% โ 70% off. Few items make it to 80% off.
Honestly? If you see an item you want on Dec. 26, itโs not worth waiting until mid-January for the bigger discount.
After-Christmas sales are intended to move inventory, which means these items wonโt be restocked. Once theyโre gone, theyโre gone.
And at Kohlโs, Christmas clearance sells out particularly quickly. Perhaps because early on in the sale, Kohlโs tends to run multiple Kohlโs Cash promotions at once.
ย
3. Use your Kohlโs Cash during the after-Christmas sale.
Previously, we saw a Kohlโs Cash redemption period running from Dec. 25, 2022, through Jan. 1, 2023.
All that Kohlโs Cash earned between Dec. 18 and Dec. 24 was redeemable during this time.
And it just so happened to exactly line up with the first week of the Kohlโs after-Christmas sales.
TIP: You can stack Kohlโs Cash on top of other Kohlโs coupons and promo codes!
ย
4. Earn Kohlโs Cash during the first day of the after-Christmas sales.
For the past several years, Kohlโs has also run a short Kohlโs Cash earning period during the first day or three of their after-Christmas sales. This is on top of the Kohlโs Cash redemption period that runs simultaneously.
The longest this earning period has run in the past is from Dec. 26 โ 29. But last year and this year, it only ran for one day โ on Dec. 26.
This round of Kohlโs Cash netted you $10 in store currency for every $50 spent, keeping in line with the pattern from years past.
TIP: A sweet new addition is Sephora at Kohlโs this year. Unfortunately, Sephora purchases made at Kohlโs donโt count for Kohlโs Cash promotions. But you are still likely to find steep discounts on Sephora holiday gift sets.
ย
5. Keep an eye out for Kohlโs Cash bonuses.
On top of the $10 Kohlโs Cash for every $50 spent, keep an eye out for Kohlโs Cash bonuses on individual products. As long as you are planning to spend money at Kohlโs over the following month or so anyways, this can help boost the amount of money youโre saving.
For example, weโve seen Shark vacuums marked down from $349+ to $299.99 during this sale in the past. Then there would also be an additional offer for $60 Kohlโs Cash with purchase, bringing the overall amount spent down to $239.99 after you factor in the Kohlโs Cash. That put the percentage off to 32%+.
Another example of an item you might see these offers on is luggage. One past sale was on American Tourister hard-side carry-ons, which originally were listed at $159.99. With sale pricing, they were marked down to $69.99, with an additional $10 Kohlโs Cash bonus. Ultimately, that suitcase was 63% off with Kohlโs Cash.

6. The lowest discounts are on sneakers and womenโs sleepwear.
Itโs awesome that there are discounts up to 70% during the Kohlโs after-Christmas sale. But thereโs a bottom end of that range, too, closer to 30% off.
Of all the items that are on sale, weโve tended to see the smallest discounts on sneakers and womenโs sleepwear.
The caveat here is that not everything at Kohlโs is on sale during this โafter-Christmasโ time frame. There are some items that wonโt even be marked down 30%. But you can expect some items in every section of the store to be included in this 30% โ 70% off range.
ย
7. The biggest discounts are on menโs dress clothes and holiday decor.
The items weโve seen come out swinging in years past include menโs dress clothes and holiday decor. Things like:
- Dress shirts
- Dress pants
- Casual pants
- Home decor
- Ornaments
- Sports coats
- Suit separates
- Wrapping paper
These items have typically been marked down to 70% off out of the gate on Dec. 26. Other items might work their prices down to that rate as time goes on, but these sales are immediately available during the Kohlโs Cash redemption and earning periods.
ย
8. Prices are almost as good as what you see on Black Friday.
After-Christmas sales at Kohlโs arenโt quite as good as Kohlโs Black Friday deals โ but they come dangerously close. (Granted, inventory diminishes after Christmas.)
If you got gift cards for the holidays or accumulated a huge stash of Kohlโs Cash as you were shopping for others earlier in the season, this is a good time to splurge on something you want for yourself.
And by โsplurgeโ we mean strategize your shopping trip to get something really cool at the lowest possible price, of course.
