From can't-miss deals to unexpected "Who Knew?" discoveries brought to life by Disney and The Muppets Studio, Walmart is helping customers find more to love, spend less and focus on the moments that matter this holiday season.

BENTONVILLE, Ark., October 26, 2026--The holidays should be about making memories, not making compromises. But with budgets stretched, busy schedules and growing shopping lists, customers are looking for ways to make the season special without added stress. Walmart is making it easier with three major holiday shopping events from November 12 through December 2, bringing savings on gifts, seasonal favorites and everyday essentials – plus a new holiday marketing campaign.

Walmart research shows that 60% of shoppers say the price of gifts and holiday purchases affects how they feel about the season, while 70% say lower prices would make holiday shopping easier. Whether customers are searching for a gift that feels just right, getting ready to host or tackling a growing shopping list, Walmart is helping them find more to love for less — and enjoy more of the season.

"This season, we're bringing customers and members incredible savings across three major shopping events, along with the brands they love, exciting new discoveries and easier ways to shop, and even a few 'who knew' moments along the way," said Julie Barber, chief merchandising officer, Walmart U.S. "It's all about helping our customers save more, discover more and make more room for what matters."

Walmart Deals are Back with More Ways to Save.

Customers will have three opportunities to shop incredible savings on thousands of items across top brands, trending gifts and holiday must-haves.
