As the Christmas 2025 shopping season gets into full swing, Mallorca has authorised two Sunday trading days this December, providing a crucial opportunity for those who prefer to shop outside regular hours. During the upcoming December bank holiday weekend, shops and shopping centres across Mallorca will remain open on Saturday, December 6th (Constitution Day), whilst closing on Monday (Immaculate Conception Day).
Specifically, Sunday 21st and Sunday 28th December have been designated as the days when retailers can open their doors, potentially boosting sales during one of the most profitable months of the year. This measure addresses demands from both consumers and retailers seeking more flexible shopping days during the peak consumption period. In the midst of a Christmas season that remains a crucial driver for the retail sector, these Sunday openings provide expanded options for customers and workers, within a calendar that traditionally limits Sunday trading.
Extended shopping hours for Christmas season
Mallorca's two authorised Sunday openings aim to expand shopping hours during the peak Christmas campaign, offering an extra window in a context where competition for consumer attention and spending continues to intensify. This calendar has been designed to facilitate access to shopping during periods of significantly increased demand, as many consumers prefer to use weekends to purchase gifts, products, and services associated with the holiday season.
The authorisation for Sunday openings follows a tradition that tends to be reinforced year after year due to the positive impact on sales and the stimulation of local and regional commerce. Retailers across the Balearics are preparing for what they hope will be a strong Christmas season, with these additional trading days potentially making a significant difference to their annual results.
