What’s Open and Closed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day 2024
As we approach the holidays, the question of what’s open and closed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day is something many people will be pondering, especially when last-minute errands come up or you realize you’ve forgotten an important item for your holiday celebration. For 2024, Christmas Eve falls on a Tuesday, and Christmas Day lands on a Wednesday. With so many businesses closing or adjusting their hours, it’s essential to plan ahead to avoid disappointment.
Starting with grocery stores, big names like Albertsons and its affiliates—Safeway, Jewel-Osco, Shaw’s, and more—will be open on Christmas Eve, though most will close early, and some will remain closed entirely on Christmas Day. Similarly, Kroger and its various brands, including Ralphs and Smith’s, will operate as usual on Christmas Eve but will shut their doors on Christmas Day. If you’re planning to shop at Whole Foods, Aldi, or Trader Joe’s, be prepared for modified hours on Christmas Eve. However, all these stores will be closed on Christmas Day.
Warehouse clubs like Costco and Sam’s Club have their own schedules for the holidays. Costco will be open on Christmas Eve from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., but all locations will be closed on Christmas Day. Sam’s Club will also close at 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve and will remain closed the next day.

Retail stores will be impacted by the holiday too. Walmart will close at 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve and remain closed on Christmas Day. Target will be open on Christmas Eve from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., but all stores will be closed on Christmas Day. Many other stores, including Macy’s and Kohl’s, will have reduced hours on Christmas Eve but will be closed on Christmas.
Banking services will also follow the holiday schedule, with most teller services closed on Christmas Day. However, mobile banking and ATMs will still be available. Notably, the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ will not operate on Christmas Day either.
For those needing pharmacy services, CVS and Walgreens will remain open on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, although their hours may vary. Walgreens, in particular, will have 24-hour pharmacies operating through the holidays, though most locations will be closed on Christmas except for select stores.
Finally, postal services will be impacted, as the U.S. Postal Service will not be delivering or sending mail on Christmas Day. FedEx and UPS will adjust their hours, with limited services available on Christmas Eve and very limited operations on Christmas Day.
As always, it’s a good idea to double-check with your local stores, as many businesses adjust their hours on holidays. Whether you’re wrapping up last-minute shopping or looking for a place to pick up holiday essentials, knowing these schedules can save you from holiday stress.
