Do you know what Kohl’s return policy after Christmas is? this is one of the questions our readers ask a lot. Well, we´ve got you covered.

Kohl’s is the largest department store chain in the United States. Beginning from a single store in Wisconsin in 1962, to over 1,100 stores currently, Kohl’s is known for selling exclusive and national brands at reasonable prices.

Kohl’s is also known for having an excellent return policy, offering a generous 180-day return window for most items.

So, what is Kohl’s return policy after Christmas? Kohl’s return policy after Christmas has two main differences from its usual policy. First, premium electronics bought between November 1st – December 25th can be returned through January 31st instead of the usual 30-day policy. Second, Sephora items bought between November 1st through December 2nd can be returned through January 31st instead of the usual 60-day policy.

Kohl’s return policy after Christmas

Normally, Kohl’s requires premium electronics to be returned within 30 days of the purchase date with its retail packaging and with the original receipt.

Kohl’s extends this time window over the holidays. According to Kohl’s holiday extended return policy, “Premium electronics bought between November 1st – December 25th may be returned through January 31st with the account lookup  or with original receipt in original packaging.”

Similarly, Sephora items are usually required to be returned within 60 days, in new or gently used condition. However, for the holidays, as noted on Kohl’s website, “Sephora items that are purchased November 1st through December 2nd may be returned in new condition through January 31st with a valid receipt or account/tender lookup.”

What about Sephora items bought between December 3rd – December 25th?

After December 2nd, the standard Kohl’s return policy for Sephora beauty products applies. This means you have up to 60 days to return new or gently used Sephora products to any Kohl’s location.
