Forget last-minute shopping stress and sold-out stockings—Christmas in July is here to save your sanity (and your wallet). While everyone else is still in summer mode, savvy shoppers are getting a head start on the holidays by shopping Christmas in July sales for the best deals on festive home decor.
If you’ve ever waited until November to start decorating only to find everything you love is out of stock or triple the price... this blog’s for you. Let’s unwrap the benefits of buying your Christmas decorations in July, and why early birds really do get the best baubles.
🎅 Why Shop for Christmas in July?
Think of Christmas in July as the insider secret to holiday decorating success. While the season may feel far away, the best time to buy your holiday home decor is long before the leaves even start to turn. Here's why:
-
🎁 Early Access to Best-Sellers
Skip the “sold out” heartbreak. Popular pieces—like oversized Christmas signs, vintage-inspired ornaments, and flocked trees—start flying off shelves as early as October. Buying in July means you get first dibs on all the good stuff. -
💰 Huge Savings During Christmas in July Sales
Retailers (including us!) roll out Christmas in July sales with major markdowns on decor that would be full price come fall. Stock up now and you’ll thank yourself when you’re not paying premium prices in December. -
🛒 Avoid the Crowds and Chaos
Holiday shopping in December? Crowded stores, endless shipping delays, and out-of-stock notifications. Shopping now? Quiet, easy, and you can do it from your couch—iced coffee in hand.
🏡 Top Picks to Buy During Christmas in July Sales
Wondering where to start your early holiday haul? Here are the Christmas in July decorations worth grabbing now:
🎄 Christmas Trees & Greenery
Artificial trees, garlands, and wreaths are hot-ticket items that sell out fast. Shopping in July ensures you get the size, style, and fullness you want—without settling for what’s left in December.
🕯️ Lighting & Lanterns
From twinkling string lights to glowing lanterns, lighting sets the mood. Grab the best selection early and avoid the mad dash (and broken bulb disappointment) later.
🖼️ Statement Wall Decor
Oversized signs, countdown calendars, and festive wall art add instant cheer to your space—but they’re often limited in quantity. Christmas in July sales are the perfect chance to score those showstopping pieces at a discount.
🧵 Textiles & Accents
Stock up on holiday pillow covers, stockings, tree skirts, and cozy throws now—so you’re fully styled by the time your holiday guests walk through the door.
⏰ Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late
We’ve all been there—standing in the decor aisle in late November, surrounded by picked-over shelves and wondering why you didn’t shop earlier. The truth is: the best holiday homes don’t come together in a day. They’re the result of thoughtful planning—and early shopping.
Buying during Christmas in July gives you:
-
More time to plan your color schemes, themes, and DIYs
-
More options, with less competition
-
More savings, thanks to exclusive Christmas in July sales
-
Less stress when December rolls around

You don’t have to decorate your tree in July—but you should buy it then. Whether you’re refreshing your collection or decorating your first home, Christmas in July is your golden window to shop smart, save big, and beat the December chaos.
So pour yourself some lemonade, turn up the holiday playlist (we won’t judge), and get ready to sleigh the season—long before the snowflakes fall.
Because when it comes to Christmas, the early shopper gets the sparkle.
