Christmas Day 2025 Hours
Stop & Shop stores are closed on Christmas Day, Thursday, December 25, 2025. This nationwide policy ensures employees enjoy the holiday with family, a common practice among major U.S. grocers[1].
Today's closure means no access to fresh produce, bakery items, or pharmacy services at Stop & Shop. Shoppers should have stocked up earlier to avoid inconvenience during celebrations.
Local variations are rare, but calling your nearest store confirms exact status, as some managers adjust based on community needs[1].
Christmas Eve and Post-Christmas Hours
On Christmas Eve, Wednesday, December 24, 2025, Stop & Shop operated with reduced hours, closing at 6 PM. This allowed last-minute purchases of ham, pies, or decorations[1].
Tomorrow, Friday, December 26, regular hours resume, typically 6 AM to 10 PM or similar depending on location. This quick return supports post-holiday needs like returns or restocking[1].
Other holidays follow patterns: regular hours on New Year's Day and reduced on Easter Sunday. Always verify locally for precision[1].
Tips for Holiday Shopping
Plan around closures by shopping mid-week or using online ordering where available. Stop & Shop's holiday busyness underscores the need for advance preparation[1].
Alternatives today include 7-Eleven or Circle K with varying hours, or select Albertsons locations open modified[2]. Pharmacies and convenience stores fill gaps for essentials.
Check apps or websites for real-time updates, as policies evolve. This ensures smooth holiday logistics amid high demand[1][2].
