A Sneak Peek at the CVS Holiday Collection
CVS is going all in on the holidays this year, with aisles filled with festive decor, gift sets, and exclusive CVS collections. Based on the sneak peek we got, you're going to see everything from classic Santas and the Grinch to nutcrackers, beauty Advent calendars, and small gifts ready for stockings. Here are a few of our favorites:
Joyward Holiday Decor
Their Joyward decor line mixes pastels with traditional holiday decor. Think reindeer, nutcrackers, Christmas trees, and Santas, all styled in soft, modern colors. Everything coordinates, whether you’re decorating your mantel, entryway, or a small space that needs a little sparkle.
Grinch and Character Finds
For something a little more nostalgic, CVS is leaning into the classics with Grinch-themed plush decor, snow globes, stockings, coffee mugs, whimsical trees, and more.
Beauty Advent Calendars
CVS always has great beauty options, and the beauty Advent calendars are seriously fun. You’ll see the 12 Days of Beauty Advent Calendar this season, plus a full lineup from L.A. Colors, including the Main & More, Shiny All the Way Lip Gloss, and Haul-iday Surprises calendars. Each one is filled with mini skincare and makeup surprises that make great gifts or the perfect self-treat for December.
Gift Sets
CVS has plenty of grab-and-go gift sets across categories like beauty, self-care, and wellness. Many are priced under $10 and packaged in festive designs, making them easy to gift as-is.
Stocking Stuffers
If you love the thrill of filling stockings, CVS has aisles full of small, budget-friendly finds ready to go. Think mini bath products, travel-size beauty items, candies, and small toys. It’s the perfect spot to score a few last-minute add-ons without breaking your budget.

Sign up for a CVS ExtraCare account before you shop.
Having an ExtraCare account is practically essential for holiday shopping at CVS. Without it, you can't access sale prices, earn ExtraBucks rewards, or receive exclusive coupons in order to maximize your savings. You can easily sign up for an ExtraCare account online or in stores. Here’s why you'll want one this season:
-
ExtraBucks Rewards : You’ll earn ExtraBucks on many Black Friday items, which can be applied to future purchases. These promos stack with sale prices to maximize savings.
-
Weekly Ad Deals : As an ExtraCare member, you unlock access to special promotions and savings exclusive to your account, which means more ways to save during Black Friday week.
-
Birthday Bonus : Get $3 in ExtraBucks during your birthday month, which can come in handy if you’re shopping Black Friday deals near your birthday.
-
2% Back : Every purchase adds up, earning you 2% back to spend on future trips.
If you’re a seasoned deal hunter, use your earned ExtraBucks to “roll” between transactions, lowering your out-of-pocket cost even further. Don’t have an account yet? Sign up online or in-store before the sale kicks off to make sure you’re ready to stack those savings.
Use your ExtraBucks to pay less out of pocket.
Use your existing ExtraBucks rewards to help pay down your out-of-pocket total. And if you’re a pro, don’t forget to roll CVS ExtraBucks between transactions to minimize your out-of-pocket cost.
