URGENT UPDATE: Last-minute shoppers are on high alert as major retailers have just announced early closing hours for Christmas Eve 2025. Costco, Walmart, Target, and Aldi are all reducing their hours on December 24 to provide employees with more time off during the holiday season.
Retail giants are urging customers to plan their shopping trips carefully, as these shortened hours could impact last-minute gift and ingredient purchases. According to official announcements on their websites, here are the Christmas Eve hours for 2025:
– Aldi: 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
– Costco: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., varying by location
– Target: 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., varying by location
– Walmart: 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
This early closure means shoppers will need to hustle to secure any last-minute items before the stores close. Additionally, many retailers will remain closed entirely on December 25, Christmas Day, making it imperative for shoppers to be strategic about their purchases.
As families prepare for holiday gatherings, the pressure is on to ensure all necessary items are secured before these early cutoffs. The decision to close early reflects a growing trend among retailers to prioritize employee well-being during the busy holiday season.
With only hours left until closing, shoppers are encouraged to check their local store hours as they may vary. Make sure to grab those final gifts and festive essentials while you can!
