Updated on September 3, 2026: We are still waiting for Michaels to release its Black Friday 2026 ad, but we already have some early details on this year’s sale.
Michaels has listed its 2026 Black Friday promotional period as November 18 through November 29, with Cyber Week at michaels.com following on November 30. The exact deals, doorbusters and store hours have not yet been announced.
Based on what we saw last year, shoppers can expect some of the biggest savings on Christmas trees and decorations, craft storage, art supplies, frames, yarn and Cricut products.
Michaels Black Friday 2026 Sale Dates
Black Friday falls on November 27 this year, but you won’t have to wait until then to start shopping.
Here’s how the 2026 schedule is shaping up:
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| Michaels Black Friday sale begins | November 18, 2026 |
| Thanksgiving Day | November 26, 2026 |
| Black Friday | November 27, 2026 |
| Black Friday sale ends | November 29, 2026 |
| Cyber Week begins | November 30, 2026 |
| Cyber Week ends | December 12, 2026 |
The November 18 start date comes from Michaels’ promotional calendar for Marketplace sellers. We may see the main Black Friday ad and some of the bigger doorbusters arrive closer to Thanksgiving.
Last year, the main Black Friday ad ran from November 26 through November 30, even though Michaels had a broader Black Friday promotional period that started earlier.
We also expect Michaels stores to be closed on Thanksgiving Day again this year. Last year, stores reopened at 7:00 AM on Black Friday. We’ll update the hours once the 2026 schedule is confirmed.
Michaels Black Friday 2026 Deal Predictions
The exact sale items won’t be known until the ad comes out, but Michaels tends to bring back many of the same types of deals every year.
Here’s what we’re watching for:
| Item or Category | Our 2026 Deal Prediction |
|---|---|
| 4 ft. pre-lit Christmas trees | $14.99 to $19.99 |
| 7.5 ft. pre-lit Christmas trees | $89.99 to $119.99 on select styles |
| Christmas trees and holiday decor | Up to 60% to 70% off |
| Christmas floral, wreaths and garlands | Around 60% off |
| Simply Tidy rolling carts | About $34.99 to $49.99 |
| Artist’s Loft canvas packs | Around $10 to $12 |
| Gildan T-shirts | Around $2.50 to $3 |
| Kids’ art sets and craft kits | Around $3 to $5 on select doorbusters |
| Studio Decor frames | Buy one, get two free or up to 70% off |
| Yarn and jewelry supplies | BOGO offers or 40% to 60% off select items |
| Cricut and Silhouette machines | Around $30 to $100 off select machines and bundles |
These are predictions, not confirmed 2026 prices. They are based mostly on Michaels’ 2025 Black Friday sale and the types of offers that regularly show up in its holiday sales.
Last year, some standout deals included a 4 ft. pre-lit Christmas tree for $14.99, a 7.5 ft. flocked tree for $89.99, a Simply Tidy rolling cart for $34.99, $11 canvas packs, $3 kids’ art sets and Gildan T-shirts for $2.50.
What Will Be the Best Things to Buy?
Christmas items will probably be the first place to look. Trees, wreaths, garlands, floral and other seasonal decorations reached some of the deepest discounts in last year’s sale.
Art supplies are also worth watching. Canvas, paints and kids’ art sets are regular Black Friday sale items at Michaels, and some are usually offered as inexpensive doorbusters.
Craft storage is another category where we often see better than usual prices. If you’ve been waiting for a rolling cart or storage organizer, Black Friday is usually a good time to check.
Cricut shoppers should also keep an eye on machines, heat presses and bundles. The savings may not look as large percentage-wise, but a $50 or $100 price drop can make these some of the more valuable deals in the ad.
A Few Michaels Black Friday Shopping Tips
Shop early if you see a doorbuster you want. The lowest-priced Christmas trees, carts and craft sets can sell out, especially when a deal is limited to certain stores.
Check Michaels.com before making a trip to the store. Many Black Friday offers are also available online, and you may be able to order ahead for store pickup.
Don’t assume you’ll be able to use an extra Michaels coupon. Black Friday specials and already discounted items are often excluded from additional coupons.
It may also be worth checking back on Cyber Monday. Michaels’ Cyber Week starts November 30 this year, so some deals could change once the Black Friday sale ends.
When Will the Michaels Black Friday 2026 Ad Come Out?
Michaels has not released its 2026 Black Friday ad yet.
Last year’s ad arrived just before Thanksgiving, so we expect to see this year’s featured deals sometime in mid to late November. It could arrive earlier this year since Michaels’ broader Black Friday promotional period begins on November 18.
Once the 2026 ad is released, we’ll update this page with the confirmed deals, sale prices, store hours and anything else you need to know.
Until then, take a look at the Michaels Black Friday 2025 ad below. It’s a good reference for the types of deals that could return this year.
