Hey, Tacoma, wondering what’s open Christmas Day?
Whether you need to grab groceries, make a drugstore run, or get the in laws out of the house-I’ve got you covered!
Here is a brief guide to where to shop, eat, and play on Christmas Day around the greater South Puget Sound. I hope it helps!
Restaurants Open
If you want to go out to eat you can search via Open Table.com.
Denny’s is also open on Christmas, as are select Ihop’s. This post has a full list of national chains with hours on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Note that I haven’t verified these, and I would call first, as franchises can set their own hours.
Chinese food is the other usual option!
Entertainment Open
- If you want to hit a movie, here’s the link to Fandango. Most area theaters are open.
- Zoolights is open this evening.
- Fantasy Lights is also open.
Grocery and Drug Stores Open
Walgreens is open Christmas Day, including pharmacies at most locations. Use the store locator to check yours.
7-11 is open
Fred Meyer, Costco and other local stores are closed.
Safeway is open early in the day. Most locations close around 4PM. I believe the same is true of Albertsons.
Worship Services on Christmas Day.
Celebration Lutheran 2500 Shaw Road Puyallup 10AM with carols and Communion
St.Andrew’s Episcopal Tacoma 10AM carols and communion
I want to thank you for allowing me to be a small part of the time you enjoy with your precious families. Your readership and encouragement are gifts to me year round. Enjoy our, “Santa Out Take,” and Have a Beautiful Day! Oh, and do be sure to check back tomorrow. We have more giveaways coming you won’t want to miss! You can also check out our post on Winter Break ideas if you need to keep the kids busy once they’re done with their toys (or the boxes)!
any word on walgreens?
Sorry, Ro,
I was off line most of yesterday. I do think most were open. Hope you found what you needed!
