Stores Open on Christmas Eve, Open and Closed on Christmas Day (1)

Looking to finish some last-minute Christmas shopping?

The holiday is one of the few days that most retail stores in the U.S. close. Blue laws in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Maine even prohibit Christmas Day retail activity.

Trying to remain competitive during the holiday shopping season, malls and department stores often remain open for longer hours in the days preceding Christmas. That cycle usually ends on Christmas Eve, when many major stores close at 6 p.m. local time.

For those who want to shop on Christmas Day, online stores might be the best option. However, those needing last-minute gifts can still find skin care, fragrances and beauty products, including holiday-branded collections, at Walgreens, Duane Reade and CVS stores on Dec. 25.

According to Statista, holiday retail sales are projected to reach $957 billion this year.

And while there’s a decline in mall foot traffic, a study from Shopify revealed that more than a third of shoppers between ages 18 to 29 said that having in-person experience is a key factor when making purchases this season.

Here’s a list of some of the stores that are closed on Christmas Day, and the ones that will be open, but at reduced hours on Christmas Eve.
