I can’t be the only one who thinks December is weirdly flying by. Considering that Black Friday was a week later than usual this year, it makes sense, but it still seems like we went from early holiday shopping to last-minute ordering uncomfortably fast. All of this is to say that I was downright shocked to realize that the window for guaranteed Christmas delivery of online orders is rapidly narrowing, and others might feel the same.

And so, behold: a list of all your favorite retailers who have announced cutoff dates for timely Christmas shipping. If you’re searching for Hanukkah gifts, some retailers have advertised cutoff dates for the first night of the holiday (which falls on Dec. 22 this year); I have noted those when provided. Keep checking back too, because I’ll be updating as more retailers advertise their dates. Happy shopping!
