Major Grocery Store Chains to Close All Locations on Christmas in CA This Year

The holiday season is a busy time of the year. With all the decorations, the wrapping, the baking, the gift buying, and all that goes with the season, it is often easy to forget something. Perhaps you forget to get an ornament for someone, a certain gift you planned on buying, or worse, you forget something you need for the feast that is taking place on Christmas Eve night or Christmas day. Normally, when you forget something you need to finish a meal, you will send someone to the store to get it, but during the holidays that isn't always an option. Make sure to get everything you need before Christmas, because some major stores will be closed, making it impossible to make a last-second run.

Walmart Closed on Christmas in California

One of the best parts about Walmart during the holidays is that it is a great place to do Christmas shopping for gifts, as well as get everything you need for your Christmas feast. If someone plans to stop by to get a last-minute dessert on the way to someone's home, or perhaps a last-second gift, you will need to do so before Christmas day, as the popular store will be closed all of Christmas. 

Trader Joe's Closed on Christmas in California

Trader Joe's is a popular choice for those wanting to eat healthy around the holidays, but make sure to have everything you need before Christmas, or you will be out of luck. Trader Joe's will be closed on the holiday, making it impossible to get whatever you need. 

Costco Closed on Christmas in California

Similar to Walmart, Costco is a great option for getting any food items you need for your holiday feast, especially if hosting a large group of people, as well as offering plenty in terms of gifts for others. Still, there will be no last-minute shopping on Christmas, as all stores will be closed in the state of California on the holiday. Dealing with Christmas Eve crowds won't be fun either, so it is best to get what you need before then as well. 

Whole Foods Closed on Christmas

Similar to Trader Joe's, Whole Foods offers plenty of healthy food options, and everything you need for your meal on Christmas day, but their doors will be closed on Christmas. When out running your errands in the days building up to Christmas, make sure to stop by Whole Foods and get whatever you need before it is too late. 

Albertson's Opened and Closed on Christmas

While most stores will be closed on Christmas, letting their employees enjoy the holiday, there will be at least one grocery store open, giving last-minute shoppers an option this holiday season. Select Alberton's stores will be opened on Christmas, and likely will close early on the holiday. If there is one nearby where you live, you can call to check if they are one of the open ones before heading to the store.

There will not be many options when it comes to last-second shopping for groceries or gifts this holiday. Make sure to make time to get to the store and get everything you need before it is too late. Wait too long, and the items you need may be off the shelves, and wait longer, and you won't be able to get into any stores. Have a Merry Christmas and enjoy the gifts, the food, and the time with your family, and make sure to get everything you need before it is too late.
