A1: Seasonal inventory begins landing on store shelves right after Halloween, usually during the first two weeks of November. The most popular beauty boxes frequently sell out before Thanksgiving.

Q3: Can I return a holiday countdown box if I open the doors?
A3: CVS maintains standard return policies, but opened cosmetic packaging or unsealed holiday mystery items typically cannot be returned once the perforated cardboard doors are punched through.
