If you’re planning to shop Hudson’s Bay during Black Friday this year, it helps to know what’s coming. Every year, the store rolls out a wide range of discounts on clothing, home goods, beauty products, and more. In 2025, we’re expecting Hudson’s Bay to follow a similar pattern as last year, with early deals starting a bit before the main event and plenty of savings across multiple departments. Here’s a look at our predictions.

Expected Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates

Based on last year’s timing, Hudson’s Bay will probably launch its “Early Black Friday” sale around Monday, November 17, 2025. This is usually when the first wave of deals goes live online at thebay.com and sometimes in select stores. These early offers typically focus on seasonal items like holiday decorations, winter clothing, and kitchen appliances.

The main Black Friday sale will most likely begin on Friday, November 28, 2025, which is the official Black Friday date this year. In the past, the retailer kept the discounts going through Cyber Monday and sometimes even a day longer. In 2024, for example, the event extended through Tuesday, which is on December 2, 2025 this year, so we may see that happen again this year.

Online deals often go live the night before Black Friday. If you’re shopping online, it might be worth checking late on Thursday night (November 27) just to get ahead of any limited-quantity items.

How Big Are the Discounts?

Hudson’s Bay typically offers up to 60% off during their Black Friday sale. The best savings tend to be in seasonal home décor, clothing, accessories, and beauty. There are also often extra discount promotions stacked on top of clearance prices. Last year, for example, there was an extra 20% off clearance items, bringing some items down to 75% off the original price.

Here’s a breakdown of the kinds of discounts we’re expecting in 2025, based on what was offered in previous years:

• Holiday décor and trees: Up to 60% off (especially GlucksteinHome brand)

• Women’s fashion: Up to 40% off brands like Donna Karan, Adrianna Papell, and Guess

• Men’s apparel: Up to 30% off from labels including Haggar, Dockers, and Tommy Hilfiger

• Toys: 15% off Anko and select brands

• Beauty: Varies by brand, but often 10% to 25% off bundles or gift sets

• Clearance section: Extra 20% off already reduced items

If you’re opening a Hudson’s Bay Mastercard, you may get an extra 20% off your first-day purchases, if you qualify. That offer usually comes with a few terms, so it’s worth reading the fine print before relying on it for your savings.

Shipping and Returns

If you’re shopping online, here’s what to know about shipping and returns during the sale.

• Free standard shipping is usually available with a minimum purchase amount (the amount varies year to year, so it’s best to check when the sale starts).

• Express shipping will cost extra.

• Items purchased online can be returned in-store for free, which is useful if you’re unsure about sizing.

• Returns by mail are allowed, but they come with a $12 fee, so keep that in mind if you’re buying something you may want to return.

Also note that Hudson’s Bay clearly states in its terms that rain checks are not available, and quantities may be limited. So if something goes out of stock, it likely won’t be restocked before the sale ends.
