Just like Christmas, most CVS stores will be open on New Year’s Eve, as well as New Year’s Day 2024, which falls on Wednesday, Jan. 1 this year. Of course, it’s always a good idea to check ahead of time on the store locator before you go as different stores may have adjusted hours.

All Costco warehouses in the U.S. are closed on Christmas Day. Many CVS Pharmacy locations will operate with normal hours on Christmas, but some non-24 locations may be closed or have reduced hours. Customers are encouraged to call ahead or double-check local hours online.

Your options are extremely limited today if you need to shop for ingredients for Christmas cookies, holiday meals or last-minute gifts.The big picture: Most grocery stores and retailers are closed Wednesday but drugstore chains and many convenience stores are open.
