Will Nordstrom be open on Christmas eve? Store hours and everything to know

If you’ve waited until the last minute to start your holiday shopping, fear not: Nordstrom will be open on Christmas Eve 2025. Both Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack have announced that they will be open on December 24 with “limited store hours” (times vary by location).

Shoppers are encouraged to check Nordstrom’s store locator online or call their local store directly for the most precise opening and closing times.

Many retailers have reduced hours over the holidays, but Christmas Eve is one of the busiest shopping days of the year. Nordstrom’s move to remain open offers shoppers one last chance to grab gifts, return items or avail themselves of in-store services before Christmas Day closings.

Nordstrom has no predictable national hours for Christmas Eve, but that could mean individual stores will close earlier than they normally do.

Most locations have closed by 5 p.m. and 7 p.m., historically, but that could vary based on region or the mall hours of operation.

Nordstrom Rack stores have varying hours, and generally close earlier than regular store business hours. Hours vary by store, so it’s crucial to check before leaving the house, particularly later in the day.
