When is Boxing Day 2022?

This year, Boxing Day falls on Monday, December 26. Each year the holiday is observed on the day immediately after Christmas. In many areas of the world—most notably the United Kingdom and former and current British colonies—Boxing Day, or second Christmas Day, is a public holiday. 

Why is it called Boxing Day?

Boxing Day is a centuries-old holiday with roots dating back as early as 1663. The name originally came about because of the tradition of giving boxes filled with small gifts and food to servants and tradespeople on the day after Christmas. In history, tradespeople would typically work on December 25 and celebrate with their families on December 26 with the boxes and gifts given to them by their employers—thus the day became known as Boxing Day, according to the Encyclopedia Britannica. The holiday is also sometimes referred to as St. Stephen’s Day, which is the official name of the December 26th holiday in Ireland. 

Today, Boxing Day has become a second day to celebrate Christmas in many parts of the world. It has also become a major shopping holiday, with plenty of major retailers offering after-Christmas deals and sales. Boxing Day sales have become so big, in fact, that many discounts are equivalent to those seen on Black Friday—making it a great time to use any gift cards or cash received on Christmas.

What do people do on Boxing Day?

While Boxing Day started as a day to exchange Christmas boxes, it has now become one of the biggest shopping days in December. People across the globe spend gift cards, shop for after-Christmas deals and even head out to return or exchange gifts on Boxing Day. This year Boxing Day falls on the same day as Christmas Day observance in the United States, so most Americans will be home from work and looking to take advantage of the limited-time end-of-year markdowns. 

What’s better: Boxing Day deals or Black Friday?

Black Friday may be the most well-known shopping holiday of the year, but Boxing Day deals are very similar. Just like on Black Friday, you’ll be able to nab incredible savings on smart TVs, tech, mattresses, kitchen appliances and more on Boxing Day. Boxing Day is also your best chance to save before the New Year as it’s the final shopping event of 2022. Plus, as many retailers prepare to unveil new inventory in early January they often slash prices on this year’s products, making Boxing Day sales that much better.
