Walgreens is there for you when you need a prescription or a wide variety of items. But will they be open on Christmas Eve for that last-minute shopping?

There are many reasons people love having a Walgreens nearby. Have a prescription that needs to be filled? Easy. Need some makeup? Got it. Vitamins or hair color? Yup, that’s there too.

The folks at Walgreens even have Christmas gifts to get you through the holiday season.

But there’s never a better reason to love the pharmacy than when it’s Christmas Eve and everywhere else is closed.

If you forgot that Christmas White Elephant was coming or are missing that key ingredient for baking, chances are Walgreens has you covered thanks to their Christmas Eve hours.

Walgreens Christmas Eve hours: Is Walgreens open on Christmas Eve?

Walgreens stores across the country should be open with their normal hours on Christmas Eve and Christmas in 2021. So if your local pharmacy location is open 24 hours, expect them to be open 24 hours as the holidays hit.

Of course, it’s always best to double-check the normal store hours for your closest or favorite locations, just so you don’t run into any surprises. The official website has a store locator with up-to-day hours for your local store so you can be sure before you head out the door.

So fear not, that last-minute shopping trip can be as painless as possible on Christmas Eve and even on Christmas. It’s one less thing to worry about during the holidays.

If you need a prescription filled, it’s important to call beforehand to ensure the pharmacy will be open. The Walgreens store itself may be open but they may not fill prescriptions on Christmas Day and they may have limited hours on Christmas Eve.
