About Boxing Day

What is Boxing Day, and what does it mean for travel?

Boxing Day is December 26, the day after Christmas, and it is Saturday in 2026. It began in Britain and spread across the Commonwealth, including Canada. The origin of the name is uncertain, with the usual explanations involving boxes of gifts or money given to servants and tradespeople. In Canada it is a statutory holiday for federally regulated workplaces and in Ontario, and the rules differ in other provinces.

For shoppers in Canada, Boxing Day means sales. Retailers traditionally cut prices on December 26, and the event has grown into Boxing Week, with sales running up to New Year's Eve. Travel brands follow the same pattern. Airlines, tour operators and online travel agencies run Boxing Day and Boxing Week offers, and some fare trackers have reported that Canadian airline sales are often among their strongest at this time.

It is also a natural time to plan. People are at home with time off, the winter cold has set in, and March Break and summer are close enough to book. TripRadr compares the same package across Canadian travel sites for your resort, dates and departure airport, so you can see which site has the lowest price before you commit to a Boxing Week offer.
