No matter how much planning you do for the holidays, there's always that one thing you forget. Whether it's a white elephant gift for the family gift exchange or a turkey baster for your holiday dinner, these stores are open on Christmas Eve and available for your last-minute needs. (Oh, and in case you're wondering, these stores are open on Christmas Day).
Though the chains below have faithfully stayed open in years past for eleventh-hour shoppers, we'd highly recommend calling your local store to double-check specific holiday hours before heading out — and we'll be sure to update this list with any changes as they arise.
P.S. If you'd rather not brave the cold weather for those final gifts and extra household essentials, Amazon Prime members in select cities can get free two-hour shipping with Prime Now. Yippee!
