Walmart’s corporate newsroom (Nov. 17, 2025) tells customers to check their local store’s hours on the Walmart app or at Walmart.com/storefinder. Do that for your own store.

Are Walmart pharmacy, fuel or other department hours different on Christmas Eve?

The Walmart sources we could read do not give pharmacy, fuel or other department hours for this day, so we do not state any. Check your store’s page.
