Confirming your store
The app is updated by each owner, and some do not set Christmas hours until December 23 or 24. If the app shows regular hours on Christmas Day, that is not confirmation. Call the store on the 24th. Google Maps holiday hours are usually accurate once set but are blank until the owner sets them.
After Christmas
December 26 through 31 most stores return to normal hours. New Year’s Eve is a regular day at almost every location. New Year’s Day some open an hour late. See the full holiday list.
