There are just two weeks left of 2025 and that means, aside from us welcoming in the New Year and the fresh tech it might bring, we can also start thinking about Boxing Day sales in Australia.

We are of course hoping for a solid selection of Boxing Deals on AV and audio gear, especially given the number we saw during the recent Black Friday sales.

Boxing Day AV & audio sales 2025: FAQs

Boxing Day sale 2025 dates: when do Boxing Day deals start?

While it would make sense for the Boxing Day Sales to start on the 26th of December (you know, Boxing Day), the reality is that retailers tend to drop hot discounts ahead of this date, catching anyone who (somehow) missed out on Black Friday savings and still want to score a deal just before Christmas. We expect most Boxing Day sales to be live by Christmas Eve.

Boxing Day sale 2025 dates: when do Boxing Day deals end?

Once again, you would assume they would end once the 27th of December rolls around, but that isn't typically the case either. Most major retailers will keep many of their deals live until the new year, although it's unlikely there will be fresh discounts added during this time.

As for the January Sales, this encapsulates all of the Boxing Day deals that remain live into the new year, with many retailers adding fresh discounts throughout the month. This is the best time to bag a bargain until the 'end of summer' and Afterpay day sales in February and March.

How to get the best deals in the Boxing Day sales

Because of the huge number of deals and discounts that take place during the Christmas period, it can be difficult to know which ones are good and which ones aren't. This page will round up only the best prices on kit we have reviewed and can recommend, so you can be safe in the knowledge that you are making a sensible purchase as opposed to a risky dud.

After all, we believe it's better to hunt for the best prices on the best products than to simply chase after the biggest discounts, which could just see a bad or average product being slightly better value.

Our expert buying guides, comprising five-star and award-winning products, can help you know which products to look for:

Be sure to keep a careful eye on your budget – an especially important consideration during these hard economic conditions – and try to stick to your wishlist. And if you are planning to do your Boxing Day sales shopping in-store this year, be sure to get there early to beat the queues, so check opening times.
