Major Grocery Store Chains to Close All Locations on Christmas in ID This Year

The holiday season is a busy time of year. There is much to do before Christmas gets here and with work, errands, and normal routines, life is already busy. Add to it that you need to shop, wrap gifts, buy food for the holidays, bake cookies, hang decorations, and potentially pack or get ready to host, it can be overwhelming. With so much happening during the holidays, it is easy to forget something, which is why it is nice to make a last minute trip to the stores in case you do. The problem is that on Christmas if you forget something, there will be many major stores closed. Make sure to get everything you need before Christmas day, because if you forget something, you may be in trouble as the following stores won't be open.

Costco Closed on Christmas in Idaho

Costco is one of the more popular stores to visit around the holidays as they have clothes to keep you warm for the holidays, food to feed your guests, and gifts to make everyone happy. If you are hoping to make a last-minute run on the day of Christmas, you are out of luck as they will be closed until the following day.

Whole Foods Closed on Christmas in Idaho

It is easy to forget something when cooking a meal for many people, especially if it is something you don't often make. Sending someone to the grocery store for a last-minute item seems like an easy solution, but Whole Foods will not be the place they will be going as they will be closed on Christmas this year.

Trader Joe's Closed on Christmas in Idaho

Similar to Whole Foods, Trader Joe's would be ideal to run in and out of for an item or two for the Christmas meal if you forgot something, but they too will be closed all Christmas day, making them not an option if looking for that needed item.

Walmart Closed on Christmas in Idaho

Similar to Costco, Walmart offers everything you need. You can get holiday food, gifts, clothes, and everything you may have forgotten in one place, but the problem is that on Christmas day the doors will be locked as all Walmart's in the country are expected to be closed on Christmas day. Make sure to make a run to the store on Christmas Eve before they close if you need anything. 

Albertson's Opened and Closed on Christmas in Idaho

In the past, Albertson's has been a store that is often open on holidays, making it the best option if in need of something dire on Christmas. This year, not all stores will be open. Select ones will be but may close early on Christmas. It is best to call ahead before heading to the store or ask before Christmas day to know if they are an option or not.

If you need to go to the store on Christmas, good luck because these major stores will not be options.
