Christmas Eve Retail Hours Shortened Nationwide, Most Major Chains Closed on Christmas Day

Early stock-market close today accompanies adjusted mail and shipping schedules.

Overview

  • Target stores open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. today, while most Walmart locations operate 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., and both chains will be closed on Christmas Day.
  • Warehouse clubs shorten Dec. 24 hours — Costco 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sam’s Club and BJ’s generally until 6 p.m. — before closing on Dec. 25.
  • USPS offers post office service and delivery today but closes Thursday, as NYSE and Nasdaq end trading at 1 p.m. today and remain closed on Christmas.
  • Limited options on Dec. 25 include select CVS and Walgreens locations, some 24‑hour outlets, and convenience chains like 7‑Eleven and Circle K with reduced hours.
  • Retailers, grocers, and shippers advise checking store locators for local schedules because hours vary by region, format, and franchise.
