Get a protection plan on all your appliances
Did you know if your air conditioner stops working, your homeowner’s insurance won’t cover it? Same with plumbing, electrical issues, appliances, and more.
Whether or not you’re a new homeowner, a home warranty from Choice Home Warranty could pick up the slack where insurance falls short and protect you against surprise expenses. If a covered system in your home breaks, you can call their hotline 24/7 to get it repaired.
For a limited time, you can get your first month free with a Single Payment home warranty plan.
Scoop Whispy Jacket
Price: $56
If you're looking for a textured faux-fur jacket, Scoop's looks far more expensive than its price tag suggests.
The plush finish, hook-and-eye closure, and clean silhouette mimic styles selling at Zara for $100. It's the perfect holiday wardrobe centerpiece that spells luxury without the investment.
Chaps Men Quarter Zip Sweater
Price: $20
A versatile piece, this Chaps sweater features a refined ottoman texture and quarter-zip design that mirrors Tommy Hilfiger pieces, which cost $80 at Kohl's.
With six colors to choose from, the crisp mock-neck design and structured knit make it equally at home in the office and at a casual gathering this December.
Joyspun Pajama Set
Price: $19.98
There's no better way to decorate and enjoy December than in a PJ set. This three-piece offering includes a knit top, joggers, and soft socks that keep you comfy as you add the final touches to your tree.
You can get it in 10 festive colors and prints that shoppers love. "These pajamas are superior. They are so soft, wash perfectly, and are just wonderful," writes reviewer TNVol.
Sofia by Sofia Vergara Boyfriend Velvet Tee
Price: $22
With its soft drape and rich velvet texture, this tee is truly "stylish and a nice fit," as one Walmart customer puts it.
Whether you pick one in black or brown, its flattering seams make it easy to dress up, which is a must in December.
Avia Women's Quilted Vest
Price: $24.98
Heading out to the cabin for Christmas? With this quilted vest, you'll have the right sporty-chic energy, and revellers will doubt you didn't buy it from Athleta or Lululemon for over $200.
Besides, this premium-looking, value-packed layering piece will keep you warm, an important consideration in December.
Time and Tru Cardigan Sweater
Price: $19.98
Available in 10 colors that can match any wardrobe, this fine-gauge cardigan is silky to the touch: an elegant, smooth knit similar to the Lands' End sweater, which sells for $57.56 at Kohl's.
With its flattering fit and refined texture, it can elevate your Christmas Day look for an unbeatable price.
Lee Men's Regular Boot Jeans
Price: $34.90
Jeans are always in, so get this durable cotton-blend, classic boot-cut design for yourself this December.
Shoppers love these stylish pants. "These jeans are perfect and fit is super comfortable. In fact, I'm wearing the overdyed black right now," writes reviewer Diamond Dave C.
Holiday Time Christmas Sweater
Price: $19.98
Can Christmas sweaters look expensive? This festive sweater, with its detailed knit patterns and dimensional accents, certainly does.
For a novelty piece, it looks surprisingly polished and more akin to the Beach Riot $158 Anthropologie crewneck, especially in the Tree Fairisle color.
Scoop Pleated Wide Leg Jeans
Price: $28
Not all jeans look high-end, but these wide-leg jeans with structured pleats, a high waist, and trouser-like drape are an elegant option you can wear at any festive gathering this month.
Shoppers agree: "I have several expensive jeans and these are up there with a great price point. I will be ordering another pair to have as a backup," writes reviewer Olga.

Maqroz Mens Vintage Trench Coat
Price: $25.32
Pick a trench coat for your piece de resistance this holiday season. This knee-length coat has a notched collar, slim tailoring, and double-breast buttons.
It's available in seven neutral colors, and, at $25, it's an affordable dupe of Banana Republic top coats, which sell for hundreds of dollars.
Scoop Ruffle Maxi Skirt
Price: $28
A maxi skirt can look festive, especially in glittered gold and accessorized with the right heels, and this Scoop model can help you achieve that exact look.
The layered ruffles and chiffon-like movement of this shirt make it look like the Free People Morning Mist skirt, selling for $228.
Free Assembly Midi Dress
Price: $32
Pairing a fitted bodice with soft pleating, this affordable dress with pockets comes in two colors: black and plaid. Both are on trend this winter, and the minimalist silhouette looks like Reformation's $248 Tyra dress.
We agree with reviewer Joyce that this is an "adorable, quality Christmas dress."
Scoop Trouser Pants
Price: $28
With a high waist and sculpted shape, these tailored barrel-leg trousers are a direct dupe of Aritzia's Effortless Pant, except for the $158 price tag.
They're a must-buy this December, as they will look impeccable with heels, a bit of sparkle, and a dressy top at your Christmas party.
Free Assembly Cable Cardigan
Price: $26
December is the month for cardigans, and this thick cable-knit piece uses a premium cotton-blend and a modern mock-neck button-front design in three colors, including black and white.
The buttons, shaped like sparkly snowflakes, elevate it, making it "the most darling sweater" at an unbeatable price.
Free Assembly Long Wool Blend Coat
Price: $59
If you love wool but can't justify paying $248 for the BGSD long wool blend coat at Kohl's, this one's for you.
Especially in grey, it features clean lines, a wool-like finish, structured shoulders, and a straight silhouette, making it one of Walmart's strongest winter outerwear offerings so far.
Bottom line
Walmart's December lineup is packed with designer-level clothing that has it all except the premium price tag. Once again, the retail giant ups its apparel game, proving it's not just a place to save money on groceries.
If you're still crossing things off your Christmas list, check Walmart's "New" and "Rollback" sections weekly for high-end items that sell out fast as the main event approaches.
