Bay Area residents face limited shopping options on Christmas Day
Most Bay Area retailers will be closed on Christmas Day 2025, with only select pharmacies and convenience stores open on limited hours, prompting residents to plan ahead.
Christmas Day 2025 will bring widespread closures across San Francisco and the wider Bay Area, leaving shoppers with fewer last-minute options. Most major retailers and grocery chains, including Costco, Target and Trader Joe’s, will remain closed throughout December 25. Only a limited number of pharmacies, convenience stores and select outlets are expected to operate, often with reduced or location specific hours.
