Who said holiday shopping had to end after Christmas? Just when you think sales have started to wind down, they ramp back up again leading up to 2022. After-Christmas sales offer some of the best deals of the year, and though shopping might not be top of mind, we found some deals on kitchenware that are too good to pass up. 

Williams Sonoma is a one-stop-shop for all things entertaining, and this year's End of Season sale is already making us want to stock up for next year's holiday parties. If you're burnt out on entertaining, don't worry, because this after-Christmas sale is also an easy way to equip your kitchen with everything from new cutlery to decorative bakeware at majorly discounted prices.  We found sales from editor-approved brands like Staub, KitchenAid, and Zwilling for our favorite cookware, bakeware, serveware, and kitchen appliances. If you've spent the last month giving gifts, now's the time to buy one for yourself. Read on for the best finds from Williams Sonoma's after-Christmas deals.

No matter how durable your equipment is, tools and cookware need to be upgraded just like everything else in your kitchen. Thanks to the end-of-season sale, you can get heritage items like a Staub Dutch oven and Zwilling J.A. Henckels Knife Set at once-a-year prices. If Santa skipped a certain cookware set from your Christmas list, treat yourself to one of these heavily discounted pieces.  

The holidays may be ending, but that's no reason to stop your festive baking habit. We love these seasonal pans from Nordic Ware that let you create snowflake-shaped bundt cake or mini cakelets. The perfect gift for any baker, these pans are durable and nonstick for easy baking and even easier clean up. Not quite the pro baker you aspire to be?
