Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, has typically represented the start of the holiday shopping seasons. Over the past few years, more stores open their doors a day early to compete for the holiday sales. Major retailers, including Target and Toys R Us, slowly have pushed opening times into Thanksgiving night.  

Walmart said Tuesday that it will hold two major sales events at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. Thanksgiving day, two hours earlier than last year.

Walmart will offer 21 "guaranteed" products this year- 18 more than last year - if customers stand in line for them during the 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday events, according to a company press release. 

The Walmart Black Friday 2013 deals includes a 16GB Apple iPad mini for $299 with a $100 Walmart gift card, an iPhone 5C for $45 or a 5S for $189, both with a $75 gift card, and an Emerson 50-inch LED HDTV for $288.
