Best WordPress Christmas Deals and Discounts (2026)
WordPress Christmas deals are the second-biggest discount window of the year for WordPress hosting, themes, plugins, and tools — second only to Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Most major WordPress brands run Christmas + New Year promotions from roughly December 15 through January 7, with the deepest discounts on annual plans and bundles. I’ve tracked these deals every year since 2018 and the patterns are consistent: the same companies run reliable, genuine sales, and a smaller cluster of marginal vendors run fake-markdown promotions that aren’t real savings.
This page lists the WordPress Christmas deals I trust, organized by category. Deals refresh annually starting in mid-December. If you’re reading this between January and November, treat the categories below as your shortlist for which brands to watch when the new round opens.
Deal status: This page is updated each December with the live 2026 Christmas deals. Outside the Christmas window, the brands listed below still run their next-best price (annual billing discount, free trials, etc.). Click through to the brand’s official page for the current offer.

WordPress Hosting Christmas Deals
Hosting is where the biggest absolute-dollar Christmas savings happen, especially on multi-year plans. The brands below have run consistent annual Christmas/New Year promotions for at least five years running.
| Host | Typical Christmas discount | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Bluehost | 60-70% off year one | Beginners and first sites |
| HostGator | 50-75% off year one | Shared hosting on a tight budget |
| Cloudways | 30-40% off 3 months | Mid-tier managed cloud hosting |
| Kinsta | 2 months free on annual | Performance-focused managed WP |
| WP Engine | 4 months free on annual | Enterprise managed WP |
| SiteGround | 70-80% off year one | Small business hosting |
| Hostinger | 75-90% off long-term plans | Cheapest entry-level |
Two consistent rules across all hosting Christmas deals: the first year is heavily discounted, and the renewal price returns to standard. Always check the renewal rate before committing to a multi-year plan.

How to Spot a Real WordPress Christmas Deal (vs. a Fake One)
Not every “70% off” badge is a real saving. After ten years of tracking these promotions, here’s the filter I run every new deal through:
- Check the renewal price. If year one is 75% off and year two reverts to full price, the multi-year cost averages out to roughly the regular price. It’s still a saving, but smaller than the headline number suggests.
- Compare to the Black Friday discount. If a brand’s Christmas offer matches or beats their late-November Black Friday discount, it’s real. If it’s clearly smaller, you missed the better deal.
- Look for lifetime deals. The deepest genuine Christmas value tends to come from one-time lifetime upgrades on plugins that normally only sell annual licenses. Bricks Builder, SureCart, and several smaller plugins do this.
- Avoid “ending soon” timers on private deal sites. Real WordPress brands publish their Christmas pricing on their own domain. Third-party “deal vault” sites running fake countdowns usually mark up an affiliate link to a regularly-priced product.
- Skip the bundle if you only need one item. Plugin bundles look attractive but are only a deal if you’d use 60%+ of the included tools. A $399 bundle for one plugin you wanted is a $399 bundle, not a discount.
When Should You Actually Buy?
If you’re choosing between Black Friday, Christmas, and “later”:
- Black Friday + Cyber Monday (late November): deepest discounts of the year, biggest savings on long-term and lifetime plans.
- Christmas + New Year (Dec 15 – Jan 7): second-deepest. Often matches Black Friday for hosting and SEO plugins. Worth waiting for if you missed November.
- Anniversary / random week-long sales (March, July): usually shallow — 15-25% off. Only buy if you need the product immediately.
