Minnesota Christmas Grocery Store Hours: Open, Closed — Cub, More

MINNEAPOLIS-SAINT PAUL METRO, MN — Christmas is nearly here. The presents are wrapped, lights are twinkling and holiday cards are in the mail. Everything is set. Then you remember — Nanny developed a mysterious gluten allergy in her later years. Holiday rolls are off the table and, more important, so are your Christmas cookies.

You need to whip up a gluten free dessert quickly. But it’s Christmas Day! Who could possibly be open in Minnesota? Fear not. We’ve been there, too. That’s why Patch reached out to major grocery chains nationwide, including Walmart and Target, to find out where you can go and when.
