In a holiday season and year unlike any other, expect last-minute Christmas Eve shopping to be different as well.

Most stores will be open similar hours compared to Christmas Eve 2019 with the majority of major retailers closing by 6 p.m. with some exceptions. Best Buy stores close at 7 p.m. and Target stores close at 8 p.m., two hours earlier than last year.

But amid the coronavirus pandemic, the longest lines might be outside stores either in parking lots for curbside pickup or in front of stores as many are limiting the number of shoppers inside.

To help plan your last-minute shopping, here are Christmas Eve store hours for department stores, discount retailers and grocers.
