These Stores Will Be Open On Christmas Eve For All Your Last-Minute Shopping Needs

It's that magical time of year again. As snow begins to fall and decorate our lawns with fluffy powder, our loved one's holiday wish lists start to accumulate too. While we all do our best to be prompt gift purchasers, it's very easy to put it off between pot lucks and other festive events. If you're wondering what stores are open Christmas Eve 2017, I have some great news for you: there are plenty of places you'll find still stocked with good gift options on Dec. 24. The amount of stores staying open is enough to make you believe in Christmas miracles all over again.

Mini-North Poles in the form of tech depots to fashion shops will keep their doors open through Christmas Eve. When I inquired with shopkeepers on the status of their day before Christmas operations, the overwhelming response was a joyous "yes." So joyous, in fact, that it was if I were speaking to Santa's personal shoppers themselves.

So, fellow procrastinators, rejoice. Stores will be open and ready to help you pick out the perfect present. But, you'll have to gallop into stores to out pace Rudolph's route if you want to win the race against Santa. Most stores will have special holiday hours so that employees can get some family time in too. Merry last-minute shopping!
