Which Stores Are Open and Closed on Christmas and Christmas Eve in 2023?

It’s last minute shopping season!

However, you’ll want to make sure all your gifts are purchased and wrapped before December 25th, as many brick-and-mortar stores close their doors for the holiday this year.

While you may not be able to snag an extra toy to put under the pine tree or pick up that forgotten ham to put on the table on Christmas Day, a wide variety of retail and grocery stores will be open on Christmas Eve.

However, it is important to note that store hours will vary by location. So before you run out to get that essential item, be sure to check your store’s local hours first!

In recent years, it has become increasingly common for stores to give workers the day off for holidays. In addition to Christmas and Christmas Eve, Thanksgiving was also the day many retailers chose to give workers a break before the official start of the holiday shopping season — a reversal from the previous trend toward holiday shopping.

Below is a list of confirmed businesses that will remain closed on Christmas Day and Christmas Eve, along with stores that will remain open on consecutive holidays this year.
