Store Holiday Hours: Walmart, Target and Costco
Target has announced 2026 Christmas Eve and Christmas Day hours, Walmart says its stores will be closed on Christmas Day and Costco lists its closure days; Walmart has not announced Christmas Eve hours that we found. Every cell is from the retailer’s own pages, checked Nov. 7, 2026. A second table lists Thanksgiving and Black Friday for ten more stores, and a third lists the December days that Home Depot, Lowe’s, Starbucks, Whole Foods and Walgreens’ pages mention, checked Nov. 7 or Nov. 8, 2026.
Where a retailer has not announced a holiday, the cell says so instead of guessing. Click a cell for the full answer and the quoted source.

Frequently asked questions
Where do these hours come from?
Only from each retailer’s own pages: Walmart’s corporate newsroom, Target’s corporate fact sheet, Costco’s customer service articles, The Home Depot’s corporate newsroom, Lowe’s corporate press releases, Sam’s Club news releases, Walgreens’ corporate newsroom and Holiday Hub, Whole Foods’ holiday store hours page, Kohl’s investor relations press release, Best Buy’s holiday FAQ, Starbucks’ holiday hours page, Dollar General’s newscenter and McDonald’s FAQ. Third-party news is not used as an answer source. Checked Nov. 7, 2026.
Why does a Walmart cell say it could not be confirmed?
Walmart’s holiday help page returned a bot-check page to our automated request on Nov. 7, 2026, and we did not work around it. Use walmart.com or the Walmart store finder.
Are hours the same at every store?
Not necessarily. Hours can differ by location, so check your own store with its retailer’s finder: Walmart store finder, Target Store Locator, Costco Find a Warehouse, Home Depot store locator, Lowe’s store locator, Sam’s Club club finder, Walgreens store locator, Whole Foods store finder, Kohl’s store locator, Best Buy store directory, Starbucks Store Locator, Dollar General store locator and McDonald’s restaurant locator.
