Christopher & Banks Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

Leave a comment

If you’re planning to shop at Christopher & Banks this Black Friday, here’s a breakdown of what to expect based on their recent patterns and promotions. I’ve been following their sales for a few years now, and while some details can change from year to year, the structure tends to stay pretty consistent. This should give you a solid idea of what the 2025 Black Friday event will look like—including when it starts, what kind of discounts to expect, and what kinds of items are usually included.

Expected Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates

Christopher & Banks has been offering pre-Black Friday deals in the days leading up to the main event for the last few years, and 2025 will likely be no different. You can expect smaller promotions to begin sometime around the week of Thanksgiving—think Monday or Tuesday before the holiday.

The main Black Friday sale is expected to officially kick off on Thursday, November 27, 2025 (Thanksgiving Day). That’s consistent with how they’ve scheduled it in past years, where they open online deals on the holiday itself rather than waiting until Friday.

The sale will probably be a 48-hour event, ending the night of Friday, November 28, 2025, unless they extend it into the weekend, which has happened occasionally when stock levels allow it. But don’t count on that—if there’s something you really want, it’s better to shop early.

Where to Shop

The sale will take place online at christopherandbanks.com. Since their shift to an online-only model after their 2021 restructuring, Christopher & Banks has focused all promotions and events through their website.

They no longer operate traditional brick-and-mortar stores in the way they once did, so don’t expect to find physical in-store deals unless you happen to live near one of their few limited re-opened locations (which are not part of major nationwide rollouts).

Shopping online will give you access to the full selection, promotional pricing, and occasional bonus perks like reduced shipping or limited-time product bundles.

Discount Levels: What You Can Expect

The headline offer for Black Friday 2025 is expected to be:

  • 40% off select new arrivals

This has been the standard offer for the last couple of years and likely won’t change much this time around. It’s important to note that this 40% discount usually only applies to specific styles, not the entire store.

Some items are excluded from all coupons and promotions—last year, for example, the St. Jude Sweater Ornament was marked as non-discountable across all sales. The fine print usually excludes items like:

  • Certain seasonal accessories

  • Fundraising or donation-tied items (like charity ornaments)

  • Gift boxing, taxes, and shipping fees

So while 40% off is a solid markdown, don’t expect it to apply to absolutely everything on the site.

Shipping and Returns During the Sale

Shipping charges and returns are something to keep in mind. During their typical promotions:

  • Shipping is free on orders of $75 or more, otherwise you’ll usually pay a flat rate for standard delivery

  • Returns are accepted within 60 days as long as the items are unworn and in original condition

  • Clearance and final sale items may not be returnable

There are no extra Black Friday-specific return policies—just their regular terms. If you’re unsure on sizing or trying a new style, checking their size guide or reading product reviews can help avoid returns altogether.

What’s Usually Not Included

A few things are worth pointing out that generally aren’t covered by the Black Friday discount, at least based on the last few years:

  • Gift Cards – These are never discounted

  • Donation Items – Anything tied to charity (like the St. Jude items mentioned earlier)

  • Shipping & Gift Boxing – These extras aren’t included in any discount offers

So if you’re planning to gift wrap an order or add a charitable ornament to your cart, just know those costs will sit outside the 40% discount.

Pre-Black Friday Offers: Worth It or Wait?

In the few days before Black Friday, Christopher & Banks usually runs smaller flash sales—like 30% off sitewide or BOGO 50% deals on accessories. These are meant to build momentum and encourage early shopping, but if you’re aiming for the biggest markdown on newer items, the 40% Black Friday offer is usually better.

That said, if a specific style is low on stock or popular in your size, it might be worth grabbing it early instead of holding out and risking it selling out.

Cyber Monday – What Follows Black Friday?

After the Black Friday sale wraps up, Christopher & Banks typically follows up with a separate Cyber Monday event, starting the morning of Monday, December 1, 2025.

In previous years, Cyber Monday brought:

  • Sitewide discounts (30–40% off most items)

  • Free shipping on all orders (no minimum)

The key difference is that Cyber Monday often broadens the discount to more items, but sometimes at a slightly lower percentage. So if you missed something during Black Friday, Cyber Monday might give you another shot—with slightly different terms.
