If you want to stock up on cheap holiday candy but can't wait for the clearance deals after Christmas Day, don't miss the Kroger Holiday Candy Sale in mid-December. You'll save at least 33% on all holiday candy during the annual sale. I say "at least" because the digital coupon stacks with their sale prices, meaning you'll likely save quite a bit more than the advertised 33%.

The Kroger Holiday Candy Sale is a 7-day sale that gives you 33% off ALL candy (with a digital coupon).
We like shopping Kroger's annual Holiday Candy Sale in December because it's 33% off the lowest marked price, which means the discount gets stacked on top of any current sale prices.
Similar to the Kroger Halloween Candy Sale, there are also no exclusions with their Holiday Candy Sale — meaning every bag of candy is eligible for the 33% off deal (as long as it's in stock). You'll just need to clip the digital coupon in your Kroger account before you shop.
KCL predicts the next Kroger Holiday Candy Sale will happen Dec. 10 - 16, 2025, in stores and online.
Kroger hasn't announced the next dates for their Holiday Candy Sale, but based on when they held the sale in 2024, we here at KCL expect it'll take place at all Kroger stores (and at Kroger affiliate stores like Smith's and Fred Meyer) from Wednesday, Dec. 10 until Tuesday, Dec. 16, 2025.
If you shop online with Kroger delivery, the Holiday Candy Sale coupon can typically be applied to delivery orders scheduled during the entire sale week too.
How do we make our prediction?
In the past, we've seen the 33% off sale arrive during the first weekend of December, but it was a little later in 2024. Here are the prior sale dates that inform our prediction for 2025:
Dec. 11 - 17, 2024 (Wednesday - Tuesday)
Dec. 1 - 3, 2023 (Friday - Sunday)
Nov. 30 - Dec. 6, 2022 (Wednesday - Tuesday)
Dec. 3 - 5, 2021 (Friday - Sunday)
Remember to clip the digital coupon in your Kroger account before you shop.
The holiday candy savings won't apply automatically at checkout, so don't forget this step. Just log in to your Kroger account and look for the "Save 33% on Holiday Candy" coupon. Then clip it.
Keep in mind that this coupon will disappear after the final day of the sale.
If you can, wait until after-Christmas sales to save 50% - 70% on Kroger's holiday candy.
By waiting just a few weeks until after-Christmas sales hit, you'll save even more on Kroger holiday candy — no digital coupon needed. That's because Kroger typically has a "Seasonal Closeout" after Christmas (usually around Dec. 27), where candy gets marked down by at least 50%.
Sometimes, they skip 50% and go straight to 70% off, depending on the location and how much is left on shelves.
Here are some of the best deals you could shop during the Kroger Holiday Candy Sale in 2024:
