Many major stores in the United States are adjusting their hours for Christmas Eve, reducing their operations or closing up shop early. This means that before heading out for any last-minute gifts or holiday shopping, it is important to check the specific hours for the stores you plan to visit.
Walmart will close at 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve, while most Target stores will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. However, it’s advisable to double-check local Target hours. Costco’s warehouses will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., with variations depending on the location. CVS Pharmacy locations will operate with normal hours, but some non-24 locations may have reduced hours or holiday closures. The same goes for Walgreens, which will be open with regular hours on Christmas Eve, but pharmacy hours may vary by location.
Starbucks, Kroger, and Albertsons will also have adjusted hours for the holiday. Additionally, there are several other grocery, convenience, and retail stores with modified hours on Christmas Eve, including ALDI, Harris Teeter, Home Depot, IKEA, Jewel-Osco, Lowe’s, Macy’s, Meijer, Publix, Rite Aid, Safeway, Sam’s Club, Sheetz, Sprouts Farmer’s Market, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, and 7-Eleven.
It is advisable to check the specific hours for each location, whether through calling ahead or looking up the schedules online, to avoid any inconvenience or disappointment. Remember to plan your holiday shopping accordingly and have a merry Christmas Eve!
