TikTok Shop USA only runs two official sales events between now and the end of the year, but US shoppers are in deal mode for most of the quarter. This is a comprehensive breakdown of the US sales calendar for October to December 2026. We've put together an easy to read visual showing all the major event dates along with expected sales volumes. We also explore potential winning products and categories based on analysis of previous events.
PUBLISHED 28 SEPTEMBER 2026 · US MARKET
Q4 is when TikTok Shop does its biggest numbers. Over the four days from Black Friday to Cyber Monday in 2025, TikTok Shop sold more than $500M in the US, with roughly 50% more shoppers than the year before.1 A year earlier, the same four days were estimated at about $137M.2
The catch is that TikTok doesn't make its calendar easy to find. Campaign dates sit inside Seller Center, they tend to land late, and the events get renamed almost every year. So sellers and affiliates end up piecing it together from forum posts and last year's screenshots.
This page puts it all in one place for the US market. There are only two official TikTok Shop sales events left in 2026, Fall Deals and Black Friday & Cyber Monday. Everything else on the calendar is a general retail event that TikTok Shop sellers join in on anyway. We've marked which is which, and graded each one by how much of a sales lift to expect.
Each day is shaded by the size of the sales lift you can expect, from Small to Very large. Days with an * are general US retail events rather than official TikTok Shop sales events. Hover or tap a date for the details.
| Date (2026) | Event | Scale | Size (latest year) |

* General retail event, not an official TikTok sales event.
US market only. TikTok Shop dates are expected dates based on last year's pattern and seller reports, so confirm your shop's dates in Seller Center. Each day takes the colour of its biggest event, which is why Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday sit inside TikTok's official BFCM window without an * on the calendar. Blank sizes mean no reliable figure has been published. Sources: 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 13, 14, 15, 17.
This is the event that matters most on TikTok Shop USA, and it isn't close. The promotion window runs for about three weeks, but most of the money lands over the four days from Black Friday (27 November) to Cyber Monday (30 November). TikTok's own creator challenge is expected to run alongside it from 1 November to 1 December, with creators locking in the products they'll promote between 18 and 31 October.4
The creator challenge is a competition for creators in TikTok's own creator communities. In 2025, they picked up to five free product samples, joined a regional team, and posted shoppable videos and LIVEs tagged #TikTokShopBlackFriday or #TikTokShopCyberMonday, with double points in the final week. The top earners won $2,000 each, the top five creators by GMV won a brand trip, and the winning region got an exclusive sample giveaway from featured brands.23 For sellers, it means a wave of motivated creators looking for products to promote right when you need them.

In 2024 the event ran as "Brand Palooza" from 13 to 27 November, with a separate set of Cyber Five promotions from 30 November to 2 December.9 Charm.io estimated TikTok Shop's US sales over that Black Friday to Cyber Monday stretch at $137M, made up of $85.9M on Black Friday and $51.2M on Cyber Monday.2
In 2025 TikTok dropped the branding, called it Black Friday & Cyber Monday, and ran it from 12 November to 1 December.3 The four-day weekend then cleared $500M.1
TikTok also stacked shopper perks on top in 2025: gift cards went on sale, Venmo users got $15 off orders over $45, and anything bought between 12 November and 31 December could be returned until 10 February 2026.3 Expect something similar this year, though the 2026 details haven't been announced.
Pop Mart's SKULLPANDA x Wednesday plush was the top-selling item from any LIVE stream over the 2025 BFCM weekend.1 Collectibles, blind boxes and limited drops are built for LIVE selling, where scarcity and a countdown do most of the work.
TikTok's top categories over the weekend were fashion, beauty, kitchen and home decor, luxury resale, food and books, with lip plumpers and cushion foundations the standout beauty products.1 FastMoss's data shows which categories grew most when you compare November 2025 unit sales against October:6
| Category | October 2025 units | November 2025 units | Lift |
|---|---|---|---|
| Toys & Hobbies | 2.04M | 3.82M | +87.5% |
| Beauty & Personal Care | 13.00M | 19.17M | +47.5% |
| Phones & Electronics | 3.37M | 4.57M | +35.7% |
| Home Supplies | 5.00M | 6.78M | +35.6% |
| Sports & Outdoor | +31.2% | ||
| Health | +29.0% |
Beauty is still the biggest category by volume, but toys grew fastest heading into gift season.
The top individual products tell a different story from the usual Black Friday playbook of big-ticket markdowns. FastMoss's top 10 products for November 2025 moved 1.42M units and about $23.2M in GMV between them:6
| # | Product | Price | Units | GMV | Commission |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Loaded Tea single packet | $3.50 | 263,646 | $718K | 14% |
| 2 | GuruNanda whitening strips | $19.49-45.49 | 161,881 | $1.86M | 15% |
| 3 | Toplux Magnesium Complex | $29.97 | 145,401 | $6.10M | 25% |
| 4 | Protein Loaded Coffee | $5.96-7.21 | 141,868 | $436K | 14% |
| 5 | Loaded Water | $3.00 | 131,450 | $355K | 14% |
| 6 | Dr.Melaxin Calcium Multi Balm | $23.00-57.33 | 128,360 | $2.95M | 15% |
| 7 | Magic fleece-lined leggings | $14.44-24.64 | 127,179 | $3.74M | 12% |
| 8 | Beauty of Joseon tinted sunscreen | $22.00 | 113,827 | $2.18M | 10% |
| 9 | Goli Zero Sugar trio | $35.80 | 106,267 | $3.65M | 25% |
| 10 | Women's mid-calf socks | $11.99 | 98,771 | $1.22M | 15% |
Four of the ten were under $12, and three were under $6. BFCM on TikTok Shop behaves like an impulse, high-volume event, with sweet spots of under $12 for units and $20 to $36 for revenue.6 A few other things stand out: one shop held three of the top five spots with variations of the same drink, cold-weather basics like leggings and socks climbed before any real discounting began, and a summer sunscreen made the list on the back of strong content, with units up 592% year on year.6 The highest-GMV products were also the ones paying 25% commission, which says a lot about what gets creators posting.
Across all US online retail, Black Friday 2025 brought in $11.8B (up 9.1%) and Cyber Monday $14.25B (up 7.1%), the biggest online shopping day of the year. The full Cyber Week came to $44.2B.7 Retailers discounted electronics hardest at around 31% off, followed by toys at 28% and apparel at 25%.8
That said, deep discounts aren't what drives TikTok Shop sales events. When we analysed TikTok's Deals For You Days in June and July 2026, the average discount was only about 3%, yet median product revenue rose 150%. Products with modest discounts still more than doubled their sales. The lift came from the event traffic, not the price cuts.21
Fall Deals is TikTok Shop's October sale and its first big push into the holiday season. It usually runs as a mix of seller-funded and TikTok-supported discounts, flash sales and LIVE events, and it's expected to run from 15 to 25 October this year.5,12
Like BFCM, it changes names from year to year. In 2023 it was the "Fall Sale", which ran from 6 to 10 October with two warm-up days before it.11 In 2024 it became "Fall Deals For You" and ran across October, with flash sales of up to 50% off from brands like The Face Shop and Benefit, and names like e.l.f., Pacsun and Dyson taking part among nearly half a million merchants.10 TikTok didn't publish public dates or results for Fall Deals 2025.
The categories that tend to lead are fall fashion, home decor, Halloween products (costumes, decor, party supplies and beauty) and seasonal food and drink.5 Neither TikTok, FastMoss nor any other source we could find has published sales figures for the event, so we've left its size blank on the calendar and graded it Moderate. We'll add our own Fall Deals 2026 data here once the event wraps up on 25 October.
Treat Fall Deals as a test run for BFCM. It's the last big event before November, so use it to find out which products, hooks and creators convert, then put your budget behind the winners for Black Friday.
TikTok Shop doesn't run its own campaign on any of these days. But US shoppers are hunting for deals across every retailer, and plenty of TikTok Shop sellers run their own promotions to catch that traffic. Here's what each one is and how big it gets.
Amazon's October sale for Prime members, confirmed for 6 and 7 October this year.13 In 2025 it drove $9.1B in US online spending across the two days, up 7.3%, with discounts peaking at 18% off.14 It's a competitor's event, but it's the moment a lot of US shoppers start their holiday deal-hunting, so it's worth watching how TikTok Shop traffic and pricing move that week.
The day after Thanksgiving, and the start of TikTok Shop's peak weekend. US online spending hit $11.8B on Black Friday 2025, up 9.1%, and it grew faster than Cyber Monday for the second year running.7,8 On TikTok Shop, it falls inside the official BFCM window.
Started by American Express in 2010 to push shoppers toward independent businesses. Shoppers reported spending about $18B at small retailers and restaurants on the day in 2025, down nearly 20% from $22B in 2024, and most of that is in person.15 On its own it's a small online event, but it sits inside TikTok's peak weekend, and a "shop small" angle can work well in content for smaller TikTok Shop brands.
The biggest online shopping day of the year. US shoppers spent $14.25B online on Cyber Monday 2025, up 7.1%. Buy now, pay later accounted for $1.03B of that, and 57.5% of sales came from phones, which suits a mobile-first platform like TikTok Shop.7,8 It closes out TikTok's peak weekend.
Coined by eBay in 2007, Green Monday is the second Monday of December, defined as the last Monday with at least 10 days to go before Christmas.16 It was originally picked as the last safe day to order online and still have gifts arrive in time. There's no reliable recent spending figure for it, but it's a good day for "last chance to get it by Christmas" messaging.
The last Saturday before Christmas. The National Retail Federation expected a record 158.9M US shoppers on Super Saturday 2025.17 Most of that is in-store, with discount and value retailers seeing the biggest bumps in foot traffic.18 For TikTok Shop sellers, it's about last-minute gifts, fast shipping and gift cards.
The week after Christmas mixes clearance deals, gift-card spending and returns. Returns jump 25 to 35% between 26 and 31 December compared with earlier in the season.19 Demand doesn't stop, though. TikTok's own research found 81% of users plan to spend the same or more after the holidays, and 67% of post-holiday shoppers prioritise self-care purchases for themselves.20 No reliable single-day sales figure exists, so we've left its size blank.
Officially, no.
That doesn't mean December is quiet. Christmas is still the biggest gifting period in US retail, and TikTok Shop is no exception. Sellers and creators treat 1 to 31 December as a gifting window, full of gift guides, stocking stuffers and #GiftGuide content.5 In 2025, TikTok said 26% of its users had bought or planned to buy gifts they discovered on the platform, and its trending holiday categories included cosy wear and matching Christmas pyjamas, party games, sweet treats and K-beauty sets, which grew 132% year on year.3
So plan December as a gifting month rather than an event: giftable bundles, gift-framed content, and stock that can actually reach customers before 25 December.
A calendar tells you when to show up. It doesn't tell you what to sell. Last year's winners were a $3.50 drink packet, a magnesium supplement and a collectible plush, and very few people would have guessed that list in October.
RapidTok tracks TikTok Shop product and creator sales as they happen, so you can see which products and categories are gaining ahead of each event, which creators are actually converting, and what happened to sales once the event started. We'll be adding our own Fall Deals and BFCM 2026 numbers to this page as each event wraps up.
TikTok Shop USA's Black Friday & Cyber Monday promotion is expected to run from around 11 or 12 November to 1 December 2026, peaking over the weekend from Black Friday (27 November) to Cyber Monday (30 November). TikTok confirms exact dates in Seller Center, so check there for your shop.
Not officially. TikTok Shop USA doesn't run a named Christmas sales event, and its official BFCM window ends on 1 December. Christmas is still a huge gifting period on TikTok Shop, as it is across US retail, so most sellers treat December as a gifting month with bundles, gift guides and stocking-stuffer content.
Fall Deals is expected to run from 15 to 25 October 2026. Past versions ran as the Fall Sale (6 to 10 October 2023) and Fall Deals For You (across October 2024).
Black Friday & Cyber Monday. TikTok Shop sold more than $500M in the US over the four-day BFCM weekend in 2025, with around 50% more shoppers than 2024.
No, it's Amazon's own sale for Prime members, running 6 to 7 October 2026. It's worth knowing about because it kicks off holiday deal-hunting across US retail, but TikTok Shop doesn't run a campaign alongside it.
Sellers register for campaigns through Seller Center. Reviews can take 5 to 14 business days, so sign up early, ideally by early October for BFCM.
Low-priced impulse products do the volume. Four of FastMoss's top 10 products for November 2025 were under $12. By category, beauty sells the most units, while toys, electronics and home products see the biggest jumps heading into the holidays.
In 2025, TikTok Shop USA let shoppers return anything bought between 12 November and 31 December until 10 February 2026. The 2026 policy hasn't been announced yet.
Yes. Every date and figure on this page is for the US market. TikTok Shop runs different campaigns and dates in the UK, Southeast Asia and other regions.
TikTok Shop USA's campaign dates for 2026 haven't been published publicly yet, so the dates for Fall Deals and BFCM are expected dates based on the 2023 to 2025 pattern and current seller reports. Retail dates like Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Prime Big Deal Days are fixed or officially confirmed.
Size figures are the most recent full year available, which is 2025 for every event. We've labelled whether a figure covers TikTok Shop only or all US online retail, because the two aren't comparable. Where no reliable figure exists, we've left it blank rather than estimate. The Small to Very large grades are our read of how much each event lifts TikTok Shop sales specifically, based on those figures and our own data from past TikTok Shop events.
We'll update this page when TikTok confirms its dates, after Fall Deals, and after BFCM.
