Christmas Eve is finally here, and with it a rush of last-minute shoppers trying to wrap up holiday preparations and Walmart will play a big part in this holiday weekend of shopping.

Walmart’s Christmas Eve hours
On Christmas Eve, December 24, 2024, Walmart stores open at 6 a.m. and will be closing early at 6 p.m. local time but times may also vary across cities. That leaves consumers with an entire twelve hours to go shopping for last-minute gifts, groceries, and holiday things before the stores close for Christmas Day.
It is worth noting here that while most stores will be following these hours, not all stores may necessarily observe the exact hours as that sometimes pertains to the store locations themselves. Customers can find their local store hours via the Walmart app or website for more accurate information when preparing to head out35.
