Whole Foods Christmas Eve hours: Is Whole Foods open on Christmas Eve? [Updated December 2022]

Forget something for Christmas Eve dinner? Whole Foods may be open.

Whole Foods is known for its unique food selection, with its higher-end items and its promise of organic produce. It’s not your run-of-the-mill local grocery store, it’s more of a place you go to if you’re looking for a specialty item. Something unique and only used on special occasions. Or it’s the place you go to if there aren’t any other grocery stores near you that are more affordable.

It’s not for everyone, and it’s certainly not known for its competitive pricing, but it does offer a unique line of food and items that you can’t find in your usual grocery store chain. For that reason alone they have a very strong and loyal customer base.

So if you’re looking for something unique to add to your Christmas Eve dinner, or you’re hoping to stock up for the next day or two with most everywhere being closed on Dec. 25, Whole Foods may be your next destination. That is if it’s open on Christmas Eve.

When does Whole Foods close?

If you’re hoping to stop by Whole Foods on Christmas Eve to get your last bit of groceries or to make sure your pantry is stocked for the coming winter snowstorm, you’re going to be in luck, as Whole Foods is open.

But be mindful, the grocery chain is like most other places on Dec. 24 and will in fact have adjusted hours of operation. The chain will likely be closed by 7 p.m. local time, though some stores may hold different hours depending on a variety of factors. It’s best to call ahead if you’re not sure what time yours closes at.

If you miss Whole Foods, Target will still be open until 8 p.m. local time and if you’re really hard up, Family Dollar will be open until 10 p.m. local time.
