Preparing for your Christmas dinner is a huge undertaking, between planning your holiday menu and actually buying all of the food—so we don't blame you if you forget to pick something up on your grocery list. If that happens, you may be wondering, "Is Kroger open on Christmas?" With over 2,800 stores nationwide, it's a fair question to ask. Whether you forgot an important ingredient for your signature Christmas ham or ran out of vanilla ice cream to pair with your crowd-pleasing apple pie recipe, you may be used to Kroger handling any food emergency you've encountered throughout the year.
It's for this reason that it's essential to stay on top of the supermarket chain's hours on Christmas Day. Although we highly recommend you start planning your food shopping well in advance of the holiday, we completely understand that you can't always be prepared for a shortage of items or any other problems that might arise. To help you plan ahead, we've done all the work for you and discovered whether or not Kroger is open on Christmas. That way, you'll be ready if anything takes you by surprise on Christmas Day.
Is Kroger open on Christmas?
Unfortunately, Kroger will not be open on Christmas this year. A representative for the chain confirmed to CountryLiving.com, "Most of [its] 2,800 stores are closed on Christmas." With that being said, now you can make your list and check it twice (sorry, we had to) before you leave the supermarket. However, it is worth double-checking to see if your local Kroger is one of the very few that's open on Christmas.
But if you do find yourself in need of a last-minute item, don't worry—some grocery and convenience stores will open their doors on Christmas Day. Whether you need to grab some coffee at Starbucks or pick up a Christmas card for someone on your list at Rite Aid, there are still many stores that are open on Christmas (and restaurants open on Christmas too!). However, you still want to check your local retailer's hours before you head out the door.
Is Kroger open on Christmas Eve?
If you're lucky enough for an "emergency" to happen on Christmas Eve, you may be able to head down to your local Kroger. Check the store locator, because many locations close early on Christmas Eve. However, if you discover they aren't open, just look at our list of grocery stores open on Christmas Day and Christmas Eve.
