Walmart will be operating from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve but will close its doors on Christmas Day. Similarly, Target will open its stores from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Christmas Eve and will also remain closed on Christmas.
Costco, a popular choice for bulk shopping, will not be open on Christmas Day, and customers are advised to check local warehouse hours for Christmas Eve.
For those heading to Pick n’ Save or Metro Market, both chains will remain open until 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve, with pharmacies operating from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on that day. However, like others, they will close for Christmas.
Aldi is set to have limited hours on Christmas Eve, while Whole Foods will implement modified hours—shoppers are encouraged to verify their local store’s schedule.
