For those of us who are self-proclaimed procrastinators, leaving our holiday shopping to the very last minute is an inevitable event. And when it comes to Christmas Eve, though we may try our very best, we always end up with the same result: leaving it all down to the wire. If you happen to fall in this category (welcome to the club), you’re in the right place. We’ve already crafted your catch-all guide to Costco’s Christmas Eve hours so that you can have all the details on your one-stop-shop for your needs (like a last minute stocking stuffer or some cookies for Santa!).
Is Costco open on Christmas Eve 2022?
True to tradition, Costco will be open on Christmas Eve. Store hours may vary from location to location, but many will be open on a limited schedule from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Our recommendation: Confirm your local store's hours on the Costco website before hopping in your car.
Is Costco open on Christmas Day 2022?
While you shop, keep in mind that Costco will be closed on Christmas. That means, if you need something, Christmas Eve is the time to get it. Otherwise, you'll have to depend on CVS, Rite Aid and the limited selection of stores open on Christmas to have whatever you're looking for.
What other stores are open on Christmas Eve?
If, say, Costco doesn't have exactly what you need (hey, gifts for teens are tricky!), you're in luck: Major retailers like Kohl's, Target and Walmart will be open on Christmas Eve. Still, be sure to shop early since most stores close their doors earlier than normal, so all of their employees can go home and take part in the holiday festivities.
