Walmart's toy clearance is a semi-annual event that typically happens twice each year, usually once in June and again in December, with discounts starting at 50% and going as high as 80% as it winds down. During the June 2025 event, we saw markdowns on top brands like Lego, Pokemon, TMNT, Disney, Barbie, Hot Wheels, Melissa & Doug, and even viral plush crazes.
The best Walmart toy deals during these clearance events will be available in stores only , although we sometimes see a few Walmart clearance toy deals online too. And unlike Walmart Rollbacks and other Walmart sales, these Walmart clearance deals won't go back up in price after the sale ends — but they will sell out.

Walmart toy clearance happens twice a year, with toy deals of 50% - 80% off.
Walmart's toy clearance is a semi-annual event that happens two times a year, once starting in June and again starting in December. With each of the semi-annual Walmart toy clearance events, you'll find discounts of 50% - 80% on dolls, collectibles, and action figures from top brands like Lego, Fisher-Price, Barbie, and Melissa & Doug.
KCL predicts the next Walmart Semi-Annual Toy Sale will begin on Saturday, Dec. 27, 2025.
Walmart hasn't officially announced the next date for their Semi-Annual Toy Sale, but based on what they've done in recent years, we predict that it'll start Saturday, Dec. 27, 2025. Like most Walmart clearance events, there's no exact date, but count on the sale lasting a total of 4 - 6 weeks.
How did we make our prediction?
In 2024, Walmart started their in-store winter toy clearance on Friday, Dec. 27, 2024, and it lasted through the week of Feb. 13, 2025. We can expect to see clearance deals on toys right after Christmas.
The summer toy sale started on Thursday, June 12, 2025.
Keep in mind that Walmart toy clearance prices are sometimes cheaper than marked.
With all the different products and markdowns happening at any given time, it’s common to find items that get missed for a second or third markdown. Be sure to use our Walmart price scanner hacks to find hidden Walmart clearance on the shelves. All you have to do is download the official Walmart app (iOS/Android).
How to Check Clearance Prices In-Store: Just tap the barcode icon in the search bar of your Walmart app; then scan the item’s barcode with your phone to see the current clearance price. I always turn on location services (or connect to in-store Wi-Fi) for the most accurate prices.
Discounts vary by location, so visit multiple Walmart stores to score the best deals.
Walmart clearance prices can differ from store to store, so it’s worth checking out a few locations if you’re looking for the biggest savings. During the summer 2025 toy clearance, here’s what we noticed across different regions:
-
Atlanta : Discounts started at 50% and reached up to 80% by the final weeks.
-
Chicago : Limited signage, but deals were strong at 50% - 70% off.
-
Dallas : Discounts were at 50% initially, with select toys reaching 80% later.
-
Los Angeles : Clearance toys were up to 70% off, but the most popular items sold out fast.
KCL TIP: Visit stores early in the clearance cycle for the best selection; then return later for deeper discounts as the sale progresses.
Shop in-store for the best toy deals, but keep an eye out for discounts on Walmart's website too.
While the deepest discounts are usually found in-store, you can also find toy clearance deals online. These online deals may have different pricing or inventory compared to what’s available in stores, so it’s smart to check both. If you’re shopping online, filter by “clearance” under the toy category to easily find discounted items.
Look for markdowns on top brands like Disney, Lego, and Melissa & Doug.
Walmart’s toy clearance isn’t just about clearing out leftover inventory — it’s a chance to grab popular brands at a fraction of the cost. In June 2025, the clearance event included deals like these:

CoComelon Surprise Ball, $2 (reg. $5)

Flo-Magic Airbrush Art Set, $15 (reg. $29.98)

KCL TIP: Keep an eye out for endcaps and clearance aisles, where many hidden gems get stashed.
