According to the popular couponing website, RetailMeNot, 74% of shoppers are planning to do a little last-minute Christmas shopping this year. 57% are fine with waiting until the last minute to purchase gift cards. 51% of shoppers are planning on doing their shopping the day after Christmas.
So, if you’re a part of that 74 or 51%, you’re probably wondering what stores are open on Christmas? Although most stores are traditionally closed on Christmas Day, such as Walmart and Target, a few choose to keep their doors open for customers.
Through today, Target and Kohl’s will be open from 7 a.m. until midnight. After today, their hours will be shorter. They will be closed on Christmas Day.

Ideas for Handmade Christmas Gifts
Now, you may or may not be a crafty person, but that doesn’t mean you can’t come up with something creative for a present. Many of the stores listed above are also likely to have what you need to get the job done on time.
If you enjoy baking, you can put together a sweet goody bag. There’s no one option. You can do cookies, brownies, candies, or cake-pops!
You can make someone’s Christmas tree extra special by making them their own ornament. Or, if you’re handy with yarn, you have the option of knitting or crocheting something unique.
Remember, not everything special has to come with batteries, chargers, or expensive jewels!
