Wegmans, Harris Teeter, Giant: Christmas 2018 Grocery Hours In MD

MARYLAND — Putting a Christmas feast for family and friends on the table has likely sent you to the grocery store multiple times, whether it's more potatoes, or whipped cream for the pies, or ingredients for appetizers. Drop-in guests can throw off your menu plan, so a last-minute store run might be needed.

Below is a list of grocery stores that will be open on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day 2018 in Maryland. Many have varying hours, so always remember to check with the store to make sure it's open. Patch has noted the stores that did not respond to repeated requests for Christmas store hours.

So these are the hours for Maryland grocery stores on Dec. 24, Christmas Eve, and Dec. 25, Christmas Day, plus links to their websites. The status for Maryland grocery chains is taken from their websites and emails to Patch.
