Fact: Christmas celebrations take quite a lot of preparation. You spend the day prior baking Christmas cookies for Santa and putting the finishing touches on your decorations. But wait! Wasn't dad supposed to pick up the family Christmas pajamas? And how could you forget the ham?! You might not have planned for it, but you'll likely need to make a trip to Walmart in the eleventh hour (that is, if it's even open on Christmas Day). 👀
While the aisles of Walmart aren't exactly where you picture yourself come December 25, there's a pretty good chance you'll want to know all the stores open on Christmas Day, including whether Walmart is open on Christmas in 2024. Just in case! Even if Christmas seems to be living up to your expectations, you're bound to experience a reality check at some point.
Maybe you might be on the hunt for a few last-minute stocking stuffers. And God forbid you run out of wrapping paper! Either way, when it comes to holiday shopping, the retail chain is your best bet for everything from groceries to gifts. (Just check out Ree's holiday gift guide for plenty of presents you can find at Walmart.) But is Walmart open on Christmas? That is the real question. Read on for Walmart's holiday hours, including if they're open on Christmas and Christmas Eve.
So, Is Walmart Open on Christmas 2024?
Sorry to break the news to you, but no, Walmart will not be open on Christmas Day in 2024. In fact, it's one of the few days of the entire year that Walmart closes its doors completely to customers. A representative for the store says that shoppers can expect the store to resume its regular hours the next day—so, if your errand isn't pressing, you can always check back on December 26 at 6 a.m. And if it is pressing, you can try to make it to the store sometime on December 24.
Is Walmart Open on Christmas Eve 2024?
To answer your next question: Yes! Most Walmart stores will be open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. local time on Christmas Eve. Make sure you check with your specific store before heading out, though, as these hours may vary. You can even use the online Walmart store locator tool or the Walmart App to get that info.
But if you find you can't make it to Walmart in time, you can always head to Walmart.com to shop their Christmas deals—including items from The Pioneer Woman's holiday collection. There are also plenty of other convenience stores and grocery stores open on Christmas. (Check out these restaurants open on Christmas Day, too!)
