With Christmas just days away, Canadian deal hunters are in a race against time. This weekend, Amazon is brimming with authentic discounts on everything from skincare essentials to smart home gadgets, but the window for guaranteed pre-holiday delivery is closing fast.
Prime Members: Your Pre-Christmas Shopping List
For those with an Amazon Prime membership, a curated selection of products promises arrival before December 25th. The stakes are high as mail service reliability is expected to plunge, making these timely deals crucial for last-minute gifting and guest preparations.

For those battling dry winter skin or conditions like eczema, the French pharmacy staple Avène Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream is 23% off at $30.75. In haircare, R+Co Death Valley Dry Shampoo is 20% off, praised by shopping editor Emily Ruane for absorbing oil and leaving hair fresh.
Tech and gadget deals are also abundant. A rotating shower phone holder is discounted by 35% to $11.07, while Apple's classic wired EarPods are 16% off at $15.96, offering a reliable, no-charge-required alternative to AirPods. For the car, a Bluetooth car seat organizer with built-in charging ports and earbuds is 20% off with a coupon, priced at $26.39.
