These Are the 45 Stores Open on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day
This holiday shopping season has been the most unusual in recent memory, given the COVID-19 pandemic. While many stores remain open for the holidays, they have reduced the number of customers allowed inside, instituted face coverings and social distancing and may be opening later and closing earlier than in past years. Before COVID-19, many shoppers would hit the retail stores on Black Friday — but now, in an effort to remain safe, all shopping bets are off this year.

However, many stores will still remain open on Christmas Eve, and even Christmas Day in some cases. If you need a last-minute Christmas gift or prefer to pick up your holiday dinner supplies while they’re fresh, many stores also have curbside pickup and even delivery options. Here is a list of retailers and grocery stores open on Christmas.
