What is Cyber Monday?
Cyber Monday is a widely observed date but not a federal holiday. Cyber Monday is the Monday after Thanksgiving—the first Monday after the fourth Thursday in November.
Americans use this date for planning time off, travel, school events, and retail promotions. Mark it on your 2012 calendar early so team schedules and family plans stay aligned with public closures and local observances.
When is Cyber Monday?
Cyber Monday is the Monday after Thanksgiving—the first Monday after the fourth Thursday in November. The countdown and next-ten-years table above lists exact weekdays for 2012 and future years, including how many days remain until the next occurrence.
Floating holidays shift on the calendar; fixed dates like July 4 or December 25 stay on the same month and day every year. If the date falls on a weekend, federal observance may move to an adjacent weekday—confirm with your employer for time-off policies.
History and background
Coined by the National Retail Federation in 2005 to describe growing online sales after the Thanksgiving weekend as broadband access expanded.
Understanding the history helps explain why schools, media, and local governments schedule related events around the same season each year.
How people observe Cyber Monday
E-commerce promotions across electronics, apparel, and travel. Many deals mirror or extend Black Friday offers online.
Neighborhoods and workplaces vary: some close entirely on federal holidays, while cultural observances may continue with normal business hours. Check local listings for parades, sales, or volunteer opportunities tied to this date.
