Michaels Black Friday 2026 at a glance
Michaels Black Friday 2026 is a ten-day sale from Friday 20 November to Sunday 29 November, with up to 70% off storewide, Michaels said in its press release of 10 November. Cyber Week follows from Monday 30 November to Saturday 5 December, also with deals of up to 70% off.
Two parts start at other times. Michaels says its artificial Christmas trees moved to Black Friday prices early, on 11 November, and limited-time doorbusters run only in the last five days of the sale, 25 to 29 November.
Michaels has not announced its 2026 Thanksgiving or Black Friday store hours as of 11 November 2026. In each of its holiday hours announcements for 2022, 2023 and 2024, Michaels said its stores would be closed on Thanksgiving and open at 7 a.m. on Black Friday.
This guide to the Michaels Black Friday sale covers Michaels' US stores and Michaels.com. Every date, offer and past hour below comes from Michaels' own press releases, which we read on 11 November 2026.

Both years follow the same shape: the event starts on the Friday a week before Black Friday and ends on the Sunday after it. Source for 2026: Michaels' press release of 10 November 2026. For other stores, see our Black Friday 2026 deals page.
We list each of these offers with its dates on our Michaels coupons and offers page. It shows no promo code, because Michaels' release names none.
When does Michaels Black Friday start and end?
The sale comes in four windows, in this order:
- Wednesday 11 November: artificial Christmas trees go to Black Friday prices. Michaels gives no end date for the tree prices.
- Friday 20 to Sunday 29 November: the ten-day Black Friday event, with up to 70% off storewide and the buy-one offers listed below.
- Wednesday 25 to Sunday 29 November: doorbusters, in what Michaels calls "the final five days of Black Friday". Thanksgiving is Thursday 26 November and Black Friday itself is Friday 27 November.
- Monday 30 November to Saturday 5 December: Cyber Week, with deals of up to 70% off.
How long is the sale? Ten days of Black Friday and six days of Cyber Week make 16 days from 20 November, or 25 days if you count from the tree prices on 11 November.
Some deal sites give other dates. Michaels' own release of 10 November gives 20 to 29 November for Black Friday and 30 November to 5 December for Cyber Week, and those are the dates we use. For other retailers, see when Black Friday 2026 starts at each store.
Michaels Black Friday hours and Thanksgiving 2026
As of 11 November 2026, Michaels has not announced its 2026 Thanksgiving or Black Friday store hours. Its Black Friday release of 10 November gives sale dates but no opening times, and its holiday releases of September and October 2026 give none either.
What Michaels has published is its hours for earlier years. These are the hours it announced, year by year:
| Year | Thanksgiving | Black Friday | Where Michaels said it |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | Not announced as of 11 November | Not announced as of 11 November | We will add the hours here when Michaels publishes them |
| 2025 | Not in its releases | Not in its releases | None of Michaels' September to December 2025 releases gives holiday hours |
| 2024 | Closed | 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. | Holiday decor and store hours release, 16 September 2024 |
| 2023 | Closed | 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. | Holiday decor and store hours release, 12 October 2023 |
| 2022 | Closed, all US stores (Thursday 24 November) | Open from 7 a.m. local time (Friday 25 November); no closing time given | Holiday hours release, 21 November 2022 |
So Michaels announced the same pattern three years running: closed on Thanksgiving, open from 7 a.m. on Black Friday. That is a pattern, not a promise for 2026. Michaels put its hours in its September or October decor release in 2023 and 2024, but its holiday releases of 2025, and of 2026 so far, have none.
Hours can also vary by store. In its 2023 and 2024 hours releases, Michaels told shoppers to use the Store Locator on Michaels.com to check their local store's extended hours, and that is the place to confirm your own store before you go.
Opening time matters more this year because of the free advent calendar. Stores hand it out at checkout from Black Friday, 27 November, with 500 per store, and Michaels says shoppers "will want to get there early on Black Friday". The calendar section below has the details.

Black Friday deals by category, 20 November to 5 December
These are the Michaels Black Friday deals and specials named in the 10 November release, split by the two sale windows. Michaels calls them "standout offers"; its headline promise is up to 70% off storewide.
| Category | Black Friday, 20 to 29 November | Cyber Week, 30 November to 5 December |
|---|---|---|
| Yarn | Buy one, get one 50% off all yarn | 35% off all yarn |
| Canvas | Buy one, get two free back-stapled and gallery-wrapped canvas | 70% off canvas |
| Fine art marker, pen and pencil sets | Buy one, get one 50% off | Not named for Cyber Week |
| Bows and ribbons | Buy one, get three free | 65% off Christmas ribbon |
| Frames | Buy one, get two free shadow boxes, display cases and tabletop frames | Up to 65% off frames |
| Wreaths and garlands | 60% off | Not named for Cyber Week |
| Ornaments | $4 each | Not named for Cyber Week |
| Artificial trees | From 11 November: up to 70% off select pre-lit trees; 4-ft trees as low as $20 | Not named for Cyber Week |
Michaels says the deals run in stores and online. "Select" and "up to" mean not every item gets the top discount. The release does not give the fine print of the buy-one offers, such as whether the free items must cost the same or less, so read the terms on the shelf or the product page before you stock up.
Christmas tree deals from 11 November
Trees come first. From 11 November, Michaels says, select pre-lit artificial trees are up to 70% off, and 4-ft trees are as low as $20. The release gives no end date for the tree prices, and we could not see them on Michaels.com, which refused our requests.
Separately, Michaels' tree release of 23 September 2026 says its tree range starts at $14.99 and that 55% of this year's assortment is new styles. That $14.99 is the range's starting price from September, not a Black Friday price.
Trees are the one category Michaels names on Black Friday prices before 20 November, so if a tree is on your list, you can compare it now. For other stores' offers, see our Black Friday Christmas tree and decor deals.
Doorbusters, 25 to 29 November
In the final five days of Black Friday, Michaels adds limited-time doorbusters on popular products. Its examples are Lexington rolling carts, Artist's Loft canvas packs, shatterproof ornaments and gift wrap, so the list may be longer. The release gives no doorbuster prices, and we will add them if Michaels publishes them on a page we can read.
Yarn, canvas, ribbon and frames: which week to buy
The two windows suit different baskets. The sums below are ours, for items at the same price, not Michaels' figures:
- Yarn: the Michaels Black Friday yarn sale is buy one, get one 50% off, which is at most 25% off a pair. Cyber Week's 35% off all yarn is the bigger cut per skein and needs no second skein.
- Canvas: buy one, get two free is three canvases for the price of one, about 67% off the three. Cyber Week's 70% off canvas is a little deeper and works on a single canvas, but the release does not say which canvas types it covers.
- Ribbon: buy one, get three free is four for the price of one, 75% off the four. Cyber Week's 65% applies to Christmas ribbon only.
- Frames: the Black Friday offer covers shadow boxes, display cases and tabletop frames; Cyber Week's up to 65% off covers frames in general. The release names no custom framing offer.
Cricut shoppers: Michaels' 2026 release names no Cricut offer.
Mega Deals that run all season
Separate from the sale dates, Michaels lists Mega Deals, low prices it says run throughout the holidays:
- 50% off select ornaments
- Christmas Signature Scents jar candles by Ashland, 3 for $9.99
- Christmas potted poinsettias from $2.99
- Christmas Value Bushes by Ashland, $1.99 each
- Large scented Christmas pinecones, $3.99 each
Michaels' holiday decor release of 22 October 2026 adds that its new decor collections start at $4.99. The dated offers in this section are also cards on our Michaels store page.
Michaels Rewards, coupons and the Black Friday ad
Rewards. Michaels Rewards is free to join. From 20 to 29 November, members "can earn $15 when they spend $50", Michaels says. It is worded as something members earn, not as $15 off at checkout, and the release does not say when the $15 is issued, when it expires or which purchases count, so check those terms in your Rewards account.
Michaels also says members can earn up to 9% in Rewards on eligible purchases this season; its 2025 release said up to 6%.
Coupons. Michaels' Black Friday release names no promo code. The savings are the buy-one and percentage offers above, the Rewards bonus and the Mega Deals. We list no Black Friday codes for Michaels, because we found none in Michaels' own words.
The ad. We found no 2026 Black Friday ad on a Michaels page we could read. Michaels.com refused our requests, so the press release is the offer list here. Ad scans posted on other sites are not Michaels' own pages.
The free Countdown to Craftsmas advent calendar
New this year, Michaels stores will hand out a free Countdown to Craftsmas advent calendar at checkout from Black Friday, 27 November. There are 500 per store, and Michaels says they "won't last long". Its doors open one a day from 1 to 25 December, and Michaels says they hold:
- screen-free holiday projects, with QR codes that link to step-by-step tutorials;
- in-store events, including cookie decorating, wooden ornament painting and holiday junk journaling;
- decorating and styling tips;
- special online and in-store offers on crafting supplies such as yarn, ribbon and strung beads.
Some calendars hold prizes. One calendar in every Michaels store includes a $100 Michaels gift card, and one customer will win a $10,000 grand prize. On the prizes, the release says: "No purchase necessary; see official rules at www.michaels.com/lp/holiday-challenge-terms-conditions." We could not open that page, so we cannot add anything about the prize rules.
The release does not give the dates of the in-store events behind the doors.
Michaels Cyber Week and Cyber Monday 2026
Michaels' Cyber Week starts on Cyber Monday, 30 November, and runs to Saturday 5 December, with deals of up to 70% off in stores and online. Its named offers are in the Cyber Week column of the table above.
What changes on 30 November: Michaels ties the buy-one offers to Black Friday, and flat percentages take over in Cyber Week. The doorbusters and the $15 Rewards bonus are dated to the Black Friday event only. In 2025, Cyber Week ran from 1 to 6 December.
If you shop Michaels Canada for Cyber Monday, the release points Canadian shoppers to Michaels.ca. We could not read Michaels.ca, so check Canadian dates and prices there. For other stores, see our guide to Cyber Week 2026 dates and store sale times and our Cyber Monday deals page.
How we check this page
- Sources: Michaels' press room, the newsroom of The Michaels Companies: its releases of 10 November 2026 (Black Friday), 23 September and 22 October 2026 (trees and decor), 12 November 2025 (Black Friday 2025) and its 2022, 2023 and 2024 hours releases, read on 11 November 2026.
- What we could not read: Michaels.com and Michaels.ca refused our requests. We did not try to get around that, and nothing on this page comes from those sites.
- What we did not do: we did not test products or visit stores. Prices and offers are as Michaels published them, and the price at checkout is the one that counts.
- Returns: the release says nothing about holiday returns, so check the return policy on Michaels.com before you buy gifts. Our Black Friday returns and price matching guide covers other stores.
- Updates: we will add Michaels' 2026 hours when it publishes them, doorbuster prices if it publishes them, and a Cyber Week check on 30 November.
