The period after December 25th marks a significant markdown phase at Walmart for seasonal merchandise. Consumers often anticipate substantial discounts on Christmas-themed items following the holiday, including decorations, wrapping paper, and related products. The specific timing and depth of these discounts are variable and influenced by several factors.
Clearance events following major holidays are a common retail strategy to free up shelf space for new inventory. This allows retailers to reduce losses on seasonal goods and make room for upcoming product lines. Historical data indicates that markdowns typically begin shortly after Christmas Day and progressively deepen over the subsequent days and weeks.
