It’s time to start planning for Christmas! And no matter how careful we are when we make our grocery shopping list (we check it twice, of course!), we inevitably need one more trip to the grocery store. Whether we’re putting the finishing touches on Christmas dinner or need to get one more batch of Christmas cookies in the oven, a last-minute trip to the grocery store happens every year. But before you head out the door, you need to find out what grocery stores are open near you on Christmas Day.

Your options are much better on Christmas Eve, of course, so try to dash out for any last-minute Christmas gifts or necessities at that time. Come the next day, you’ll have fewer choices. But you’re not entirely stuck. Make sure to note that each of these stores’ hours may vary by location, so use the online store locators or call ahead before you head out the door. There’s nothing worse than spending 10 minutes scraping windshields and piling in the car just to be greeted by a locked door at your destination.

Here are the openings we know about so far, according to press representatives who’ve independently confirmed their hours with Country Living and reporting from The Balance. Keep in mind that in-store services like pharmacies may be closed even if the store is open.
