Whether you’re into DIY, home décor, baking, or just want to save a bit on creative supplies, Michaels usually has something for everyone during their annual Black Friday sale. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect this year based on previous years, plus a look at what was offered in the past and what that could mean for 2025.
Likely Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates & Store Hours
If Michaels sticks to what they’ve done the past few years, the Black Friday sale will likely start on Friday, November 21, 2025, which is exactly one week before Black Friday itself. The sale should run both in-stores and at michaels.com through the entire week of Thanksgiving and wrap up on Sunday, November 30, 2025, or until everything sells out. The earlier you shop, the better chance you have at getting what you want, especially since some of the better deals go fast.
Just like in previous years, all Michaels locations will probably stay closed on Thanksgiving Day, which lands on Thursday, November 27, 2025. If you’re planning to shop in-store, expect them to reopen early on Friday morning at 7:00 AM. That’s been their go-to opening time for the past few years during Black Friday weekend.
How Big Are the Discounts?
Based on previous years, you can expect discounts up to 70% off across a wide range of categories. These aren’t one-off deals either. Most sections of the store have pretty decent markdowns. You’ll find savings on everything from holiday decorations and artificial Christmas trees to paint, yarn, custom framing, baking supplies, and more.
Keep in mind that while “up to 70% off” sounds signifigant, not everything will be marked down that much. The 70% tends to apply to seasonal and holiday items, especially things like ornaments, tree décor, and select home décor items. Everyday crafting items are usually between 30% and 50% off, depending on the brand and category.
Also worth noting: some sales are advertised as “doorbusters,” which means they’re only available for a limited time or while supplies last. If you see that label, don’t wait around too long.
What Was on Sale Last Year
Looking at what was offered during the 2024 Black Friday sale gives a pretty solid preview of what might return in 2025. Here’s a list of actual sale examples from last year:
-
Artificial Christmas Trees were up to 60% off, including pre-lit options in various sizes.
-
All Holiday Floral and Decor was marked 50% to 70% off, including wreaths, garlands, lights, and tabletop decorations.
-
Select Yarn (like Loops & Threads and Lion Brand) was up to 40% off, great for knitters and crocheters.
-
Crayola, Prismacolor, and Artist’s Loft art supplies were 30% to 50% off, depending on the product.
-
Custom Framing was up to 70% off, including same-day options.
-
Kids’ craft kits were often part of buy one, get one 50% off deals.
-
Storage solutions, like craft carts and bins, had markdowns between 30% and 50%.
-
Paper crafting items (cardstock, sticker packs, stamps) were up to 50% off.
If 2025 follows the same pattern, these same categories should be on sale again, possibly with similar or slightly better discounts.
Coupons and Additional Discounts
During Black Friday week, Michaels usually disables most standard coupons, especially on items already marked down. So, don’t expect to stack a 20% off coupon on top of a 50% off sale item. Still, they sometimes offer blanket coupons like “20% off your entire regular-price purchase”, but only for items not included in the sale.
