If you thought your chance to save big on holiday purchases — for your Pilates-attending wife, power walking–obsessed mom, or sister who just loves to stay comfortable — is long gone, think again. Our editors have scoured the web for sales hosted by buzzy activewear brands that would be truly worth your time and have discovered that Athleta is marking down every. last. thing on its site for 30 percent off through December 21.

Santa, are you responsible for this kind of pre-Christmas magic? Yuletide did, indeed, come early, and now you can score everything that’s on your (and their) wishlist without killing your wallet: from Athleta‘s buttery-soft, high-rise leggings and perfect-for-winter fleece joggers to top-quality quarter zips that you can totally wear to Casual Fridays at work and the kinds of breathable tees that will help you hit your next PR in style.

The best part? If you order today, you can get your Athleta goodies delivered by December 24, meaning your loved ones are guaranteed to spend Christmas morning trying on their new, athletic threads while oohing and ahhing over their sumptuous textures and trend-forward designs. Craving some free shipping? Becoming an Athleta Rewards member can help you attain just that on all orders of $50 or more.

Now, moving on to the fun stuff. What’s actually worth shopping within Athleta’s extensive, online sale section? (Hint: We’re tempted to say “everything.”) If you’re looking to power up your cold-weather runs with pants that benefit from a brushed interior, not to mention high compression for keeping things tucked in, reach immediately for the Athleta Rainier High Rise Legging — the brand’s #1 cold-weather legging that now clocks in at under $75, one of its lowest prices ever. Our editors’ favorite part is that you can grab it in nine distinct shades, but many of the most in-demand ones (like the vibrant-blue Borealis) are already sold out in most sizes, so waste no time in securing what might become your best purchase of 2025.

Alternatively, if you or your giftee are already covered on the leggings front but are instead searching for a versatile pullover to call your own — one that’s composed of suede-like Tencel fibers that both feel cool to the touch and are able to insulate you from the chill — the brand’s Seasoft Quarter Zip is an apt choice, whether you end up wearing it mostly on the couch, eggnog in hand, or for all your gym sessions from hereon out.

So too do Athleta’s rare deals include all-new arrivals that have already managed to clinch no shortage of rave reviews, like the shaping Interval Sports Bra that’s best for medium-impact workouts; the Forever Fleece Relaxed Crew Sweatshirt in its assortment of candy-inspired hues, from the bright-pink Dahlia to the uplifting Honeydew; and the Form Knit Mid Rise Straight Pant, which will seamlessly transition you from the airport to the dance studio, boasting the kind of all-way stretch that will also go easy on you after that Christmas feast.

And if it’s a last-minute stocking stuffer you’re after for the woman in your life who tells you she has everything already (hint: Don’t believe a word she says), go for Athleta’s on-sale accessory collection. The All About Crossbody Belt Bag here is ideal for every pet parent who’s always on the hunt for a chicer solution to storing poop bags; the 40-percent-off Everyday Cap will make her style that much more It-girl-approved; the Athleta Everyday Crew Sock pack will finally convince your gift recipient that socks aren’t a boring, thoughtless present; and the Softshell Glove 2.0, a whopping half off as we speak, will allow her to text away during all those hikes, what with each pair’s touchscreen-enabled fingertips.

Go ahead: Fill your cart, fill your cup, and be merry. The holidays only come around once a year, and the same thing can be said about “The Wishlist Wrap-Up” sales event at Athleta, in which nothing — even the most coveted picks across categories — is off limits.
