25+ Minnesota Stores Closed on Christmas 2025 – Don’t Get Caught Unprepared

Last Saturday was one of the biggest shopping days of the entire year.  The guess is that about 159 million people were out and about shopping for those special gifts on Super Saturday for the upcoming Christmas holiday.

While many people finished off their Christmas shopping list, about 48% of people still haven't finished buying all of their gifts the week before the big holiday.  In other words, some last minute shopping WILL be happening.

If you were hoping to head out to a store on Christmas Day to grab a few last-minute items, you may want to go to the store now.  Unfortunately, doors will be locked on over 25 stores in our area.  See the full list of stores that are closed below.

Santa just dropped off all of the gifts under the tree.  Sadly, he forgot that your little ones' new favorite toy that he just unwrapped requires 6 AA batteries.  You looked through all of the stockings (and drawers in the house) to see if Santa left a few batteries for you to use.  But of course, this is the one time you can't find ANY AA batteries in your house.

A rush to the store for batteries or that ingredient you forgot for the Christmas meal is now on your early morning to-do list.

Before you hop in the car to rush to the store, look real quick at the list of spots below of places that have decided to lock their front doors to shoppers on Christmas day.
