As the leaves turn and the air grows crisp, a familiar buzz begins to fill the atmosphere. It\u2019s that time of year again\u2014Black Friday is just around the corner! But when exactly does this shopping extravaganza take place? The answer lies in a simple formula: Black Friday falls on the day after Thanksgiving, which is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November each year.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to 2025, where Thanksgiving lands on November 27th; thus, shoppers can mark their calendars for Black Friday on November 28th.<\/p>\n
But what makes this day so special? Originating in the United States, Black Friday has become synonymous with massive sales and frenzied shopping sprees. The term itself has two popular theories regarding its origin: one suggests it refers to heavy traffic caused by eager shoppers flooding stores post-Thanksgiving dinner; another relates to accounting practices where red ink indicated losses while black ink signified profits\u2014hence businesses hoped for a profitable start to holiday spending.<\/p>\n
Today, it’s not just an American phenomenon anymore.
