Christmas has officially arrived. If you feel like the holiday came up quick this year, you aren’t alone. Thanksgiving came late on the calendar, leaving just a handful of weeks between Turkey Day and Santa’s arrival.
Even if you got all your holiday shopping done in time, it’s entirely possible that you realized you forgot to pick up your prescription ahead of the holiday or remembered that you ran out of milk, wrapping paper or need a gift card for the family white elephant game. Worse, it’s possible you or another family member came down with a bad case of the Christmas crud just in time for the holiday. Whatever it is you still need this Christmas, you may be wondering what CVS Christmas hours are so you can swing by and pick up any and all forgotten necessities.
Given many retailers and grocery stores are closed in observance of the holiday, including Walmart, Target, Aldi, Costco and others, it’s hard to know which stores will be open and which ones won’t.
But what about CVS Christmas hours?
To find out everything to know about the pharmacy’s holiday hours this year, TODAY.com reached out to CVS for the specifics on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Here are all the details you need to ensure this year’s Christmas celebration is merry and bright.
