Boxing Day deals are worth going out in the cold for, and here's where you can shop in the province on December 26.

While Boxing Day is a stat holiday in Ontario, most malls will be open bright and early. But if you need to stop at the bank first, you'll probably have to take a rain check.

Working hours are flexible during this time of year, with plenty of closures on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and the rest of the holiday season, so you'll want to be prepared.
