Christmas Day is around the corner. It is common to have a pending grocery list with the ongoing festivities. The festive season is for unwinding and relaxing. It is also an opportunity to sit for a hearty meal with friends and family. This can sometimes lead to unplanned and last-minute shopping on December 25.
Customers can expect most major retailers to shop for groceries on Christmas Eve. However, most grocery stores will remain closed on Christmas, and resume services on December 26, 2024.
Grocery stores that will be open on Christmas Day for last-minute shopping
Whether you need an extra batch of baked cookies, or a wholesome dinner on Christmas, you may have to be prepared for last-minute errands. While some stores will open on December 25, 2024, it may be for adjusted hours and at the store's discretion. Some stores that will be open on Christmas Day are:
- Albertsons: Open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Check local stores for timings
- CVS and Walgreens: Open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Although these are pharmacies, customers can find basic groceries and frozen foods.
- Safeway: Open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Check local stores for timings
- 7-11: Open 24x7, even on December 25 to stock up on essentials
- Bravo Supermarket: Open 9:00 a.m to 8 p.m. Store timings vary based on location
Major retailers, including Costco, Sam's Club, Trader Joe's, Walmart, Whole Foods, Kroger, and Target, will remain closed on December 25, 2024. But, some of these will remain open on Christmas Eve and you can check the timings by visiting their websites. Since Christmas Day is a federal holiday, most major retailers give holidays to their employees to rest and recuperate.
Some retailers will be at customer service on Christmas Day as well. However, consumers are advised to check their local store timings and plan their holiday shopping accordingly. Since most retailers will be open at regular hours on Christmas Eve, you can stock up on your favorite treats, and essentials for the cozy festive season.
