The best time to score Christmas items at Costco isn’t before the holidays. It’s right after. Once Christmas passes, seasonal items often get marked down to make room for the next season.

According to The Krazy Coupon Lady, the deepest discounts typically roll out beginning Dec. 26 and into the new year — there’s a chance to save up to 90% on decor, gifts and toys for the year ahead.

If you’re willing to shop a little ahead, this is one of the easiest ways to save money on items at Costco that you’ll use again next year. Below are the best holiday items to buy now at Costco.

Also here are 2026 deals to grab now at Costco.

Holiday Pajamas

Christmas pajamas are one item that retailers like to empty from shelves before the holidays. After, they typically go on sale to make room for the next holiday. These Eddie Bauer pajamas, for men, women, kids, babies and even pets, are decently priced at Costco and may be reduced after Christmas.

Christmas Sweaters

Similar to Christmas pajamas, Costco doesn’t like to keep holiday sweaters on the shelves after Christmas. Keep an eye on these Lands’ End family holiday sweaters and Peanuts by Sanctuary Women’s holiday sweaters. Even if you don’t plan to wear them this year, you can always save them for next.

Holiday Kitchenware

During your next Costco haul, remember this eight-pack of holiday kitchen towels and this Home Essentials eight-piece santa face plate and bowl set. They might go on sale, since it’s after the holiday season.

Greenery

You may not have any need for a living Christmas tree, wreath or garland after the holidays, but there’s some greenery that can still work as winter decor. Red poinsettias and holiday cut greens could look great in the home or on the front porch. This Norfolk Island pine comes with some decorations, but you could take them off and keep the tree inside all-year round.

Holiday Home Decor

While there’s no guarantee prices will come down online after the holidays, you may be more likely to find reduced prices in your local store as Costco tries to clear its shelves.
