Few high-street retailers do quite as much as M&S. A place where the weekly food shop sits comfortably alongside design-led homeware, and in one fell swoop you can secure everything from dependable wardrobe staples to buzzy fashion collaborations from the likes of Bella Freud and 16Arlington. So it’s really no wonder the M&S Boxing Day sale is a fixture in so many calendars.
The retailer’s extensive range is its key draw. In previous years, shoppers have been able to pick up significant reductions across fashion, beauty, childrenswear and home, with discounts reaching up to 50 per cent in some categories. Whether you’re looking to refresh your workwear, restock skincare staples (yes, M&S also does beauty) or give your living space a January update, the sale has traditionally covered a lot of ground.
These days, the Boxing Day ritual looks very different. Early-morning queues have largely been swapped for online baskets, as retailers from Amazon and Currys to John Lewis and Next roll out their discounts digitally. And, frankly, spending Christmas vouchers from the sofa – pyjamas on, leftovers close by – certainly has its appeal.
Below, you’ll find everything to expect from 2025’s Boxing Day sale at M&S, along with some offers available to shop now.
