Last-minute shopping guide: How late are stores open on Christmas Eve?


Stores Open On Christmas

There are only a few hours left before Santa makes his rounds, and last-minute holiday shoppers are hitting the stores for deals during extended hours.

This year, many retailers encouraged procrastinators that were holding off on their holiday purchases by offering Christmas Eve specials and by staying open through the night.
