Imagine this scenario: you've overlooked the sugar for homemade cookies or misjudged the macaroni required for that creamy macaroni and cheese. The solution appears straightforward—just make a quick grocery run to Publix, a reliable go-to.

For instance, the ever-popular Trader Joe's will be closed on Christmas. On the flip side, CVS will maintain its open-door policy on Christmas Day.

Great news, Publix fans. Publix will be open and potentially operating during its normal hours on Christmas Eve, but the store will be closed on Christmas. Unfortunately, Publix tends to close during multiple major holidays throughout the year. You can shop the day after Christmas to grab some supplies if needed to dress up all those leftovers, but unfortunately, you'll be out of luck on the actual holiday. If you plan ahead though, you'll be able to run out for anything extra you need on Christmas Eve with no issues.
