With Black Friday 2025 (November 28th) just around the corner, and Cyber Monday (December 1st) following close behind, ZDNET is gearing up to provide comprehensive coverage of the best holiday deals. As ZDNET’s deals and shopping editor explains, the period between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday, known as Cyber Week (November 28th – December 1st), will be a prime time for savings. However, early Black Friday sales are already starting in November, with discounts continuing into December.

ZDNET’s team of experts rigorously tests, researches, and compares products, analyzing vendor listings, independent reviews, and customer feedback to deliver accurate and unbiased recommendations. While ZDNET may earn affiliate commissions on purchases made through its links, editorial content remains independent and free from advertiser influence. The goal is to provide readers with the most accurate information and advice to make informed buying decisions.

Major retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, Amazon, and Target are already announcing their plans, including early sales events, price match guarantees, and member-exclusive deals. To navigate the holiday shopping frenzy, ZDNET recommends creating a shopping plan, comparing prices, and leveraging trusted resources like ZDNET to identify genuine deals. While Black Friday traditionally focuses on in-store discounts and Cyber Monday on online deals, both have largely merged into a broader holiday shopping season offering savings across various product categories, including tech, apparel, home goods, and more.
