SAN ANTONIO – If you’re scrambling for last-minute gifts, you’re not alone! Many stores will be open on Christmas Eve but plan to close early. Most major retailers, like H-E-B and Target, will shut their doors on Christmas Day.
Here’s a quick look at which stores will be open on Christmas Eve:
- Sam’s Club: open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. (*plus members*); 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. (*club members*). More details can be found on their website.
- Walgreens: While the stores will be open, pharmacy hours might vary. Check their site for more info.
And here are the stores closed on Christmas Day:
- Barnes & Noble
- Best Buy
- Costco
- Five Below
- H-E-B
- Target
- Whole Foods Market
Interestingly, a survey showed that 76% of shoppers plan to finish their holiday shopping before Christmas Eve this year. This trend might be due to the rise in online shopping and delivery services. In fact, a recent report indicates that online sales during the holiday season could increase by 15% compared to last year. This shift reflects how shopping habits have changed in response to convenience and accessibility.
What about city services? According to the City of San Antonio’s website, City Hall and other offices will be closed from December 24 to January 1 for the holidays. However, on-street parking meters will be free on December 24, December 25, and January 1 — a small perk for downtown visitors!
