Christmas Eve Shopping Hours for Those Last-Minute Gifts & Groceries

With less than two days left before Christmas, families all over are preparing for the rush associated with last-minute shopping, either for gifts or groceries. Due to Covid -19 restrictions, late-night holiday hours have changed from the normal 11 pm until midnight range to 9 pm.

Online shoppers who are still waiting on deliveries are also hoping that their gifts arrive before Christmas morning. Delivery companies including Fed Ex, UPS, Amazon, and USPS have been working around the clock to get shipped merchandise delivered ‘somewhat’ on time. While some stores will be closed on Christmas eve, there will be a few that will be open (with special hours) for those who need a couple more items before the big day.  Below is a list to help you with your last-minute Christmas Eve Scavenge.
