Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are just a couple of days away from us. Many of your favorite stores are anticipated to be fully closed on December 24 and 25.
The majority of supermarkets are closed on December 25, yet there can be an exception. For more information, contact your local store as hours may differ depending on the location.
While spending Christmas Eve and Day at home with loved ones is the norm, there could be a situation where you might need to make a quick trip to the store to pick up anything.
Before leaving the house, make sure you know the store hours, whether it's for a forgotten grocery store ingredient or a last-minute run to replace a dish that got "accidentally" burnt! This is because many retailers close for the holiday to allow their staff to spend time with their colleagues.
Do not worry! We've prepared a complete list of stores and their Christmas holiday operating schedules.

Christmas Day is in the midst of the week this year. Additionally, if you need to do last-minute shopping on Christmas Eve, you should plan ahead because many establishments close early.
The reason for this is on Christmas Day in 2024, many food stores will be closed, and at least one will be closed the day following.
