Winter Holidays

For decades, Black Friday and Cyber Monday have defined the retail calendar.

The 2025 edition of Cyber Week was the most successful yet.

Consumers gravitated towards brick-and-mortar stores – as well as shopping centers – during the post-Thanksgiving weekend.

Holiday shopping gave small businesses a needed boost during an otherwise slow November.

Several retailers — including some unexpected ones — had a strong Black Friday performance this year compared to 2024.

Consumers didn’t let financial and economic concerns stop them from shopping during the five-day holiday weekend.

Walmart Inc. had a merry Black Friday and Cyber Monday, with leading-edge technology and ship-from-store playing key roles.

The dust has settled on Cyber Weekend, and a majority of shoppers say that higher prices impacted their purchase decisions.

Cyber Monday retained its position as the biggest single digital shopping day of the year while the entire Cyber Week period reached new online sales heights.

U.S. consumers trended towards making numerous smaller purchases on Black Friday this year instead of buying big-ticket items.
