The stores over here have big sales on Boxing Day, which is the day after Christmas. The sales actually continue for another week or two afterwards. Summer clothing and all sorts go on sale, even though we're only mid-summer at the moment.
Weird, and a little annoying, how everything is out of season. Getting last minute things for Christmas on the 23rd December I found the supermarket had condensed them down to a small section ...and shortly after I saw the hot crossed buns!
