Which stores are open on Christmas Eve and Day in Sacramento? Here are holiday hours
Christmas will bring limited hours and full-day closures to businesses across the Sacramento area — so don’t forget to plan your shopping ahead of time.
This year, Christmas Eve falls on Sunday, meaning several government offices, including the U.S. Postal Service, UPS and most banks would ordinarily be closed. These entities will remain closed on Monday for Christmas Day.
Here’s what is open and closed between Sunday and Monday across the capital region, from supermarkets and pharmacies to shopping malls and coffee shops. The following businesses were vetted by The Sacramento Bee but your nearest location may have different hours.
