Grocery Store Hours Christmas Eve and Christmas Day

Need a last-minute item for your holiday meal? Which stores are open?

Sure, we wish we were all Martha Stewart and hadn’t forgotten a single thing for those holiday meals, but sometimes you have to send someone out for fried onions for the green bean casserole or marshmallows for hot chocolate.

Here’s an idea of what’s open and what’s closed for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day:

  • Safeway: Closes at 8 p.m. on Christmas Eve; open on Christmas Day from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
  • Giant: Closes at 7 p.m. on Christmas Eve; open on Christmas Day from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
  • The Fresh Market: Closes at 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve; closed on Christmas Day
