All the Grocery Stores Open on Christmas Day 2022

As millions around the country prepare to celebrate the Christmas holiday, like Santa, many are making a list and checking it twice to ensure that no gift is forgotten and no guest will be overlooked. Retail stores are filling up with long lines of customers, while mail couriers are working overtime to deliver everyone’s gifts before Christmas Day. 

This time of year many households will also host Christmas parties, featuring treats like tasty honey-glazed ham, creamy mashed potatoes, sweet gingerbread people, and boozy cups of eggnog. No matter how much you try to ensure everything goes off without a hitch, however, if you’re prone to forgetting key ingredients at the grocery store, you may consistently wonder which grocery stores are open on Christmas Day. Thankfully, though, all hope is not lost — a few stores have confirmed that they will be there for you in your time of need. 

Admittedly the options aren’t plentiful for grocery stores on open Christmas, because the major chains like Walmart, Kroger, and Target will all be closed. As always, hours of operation vary by location, so it’s imperative to confirm with your local store before making the trek.
