The hours that each Walmart store are open are typically listed at that website. It’s always a good idea to check individual store locations because sometimes hours can vary, however. Furthermore, Heavy discovered by calling Walmart stores that many are closed early on Christmas Eve – earlier than the store locator indicates – so the website appears to reflect typical hours, not holiday hours.
The stores that Heavy called close at 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve 2022 and are closed on Christmas Day 2022. Indeed, Axios reports that most Walmart stores close at 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve.
