Many retail chains will be closed on Christmas day. But is Walmart one of them? Christmas is this Sunday. If you're putting off gift shopping until the very last minute -- and we mean the very last minute, you might be wondering: is Walmart open Christmas day?
Walmart has some of the best deals on the most-wanted Christmas gifts of 2022. Right now you can shop Walmart and save on top-rated tech, kitchen gadgets, home essentials, beauty, toys and more. These deals are also available online. But you'll need to buy your gifts ASAP if you want something to bring to your Christmas festivities.
Walmart retail stores will be closed on Christmas Day.
That means you won't be able to enter a Walmart store to grab a last-minute gift before you head to a holiday party. So buy your Christmas gifts from Walmart now while you still can.

You can always shop Walmart online. But if you want your Christmas gifts delivered before Dec. 25, there is a shipping deadline you need to pay attention to.
The last day to order from Walmart online and have gifts arrive by Christmas is Dec. 22. Walmart offers two-day shipping on most items. All Walmart customers receive two-day shipping for free on orders $35 and over.
Walmart obviously can't guarantee that you'll receive your order by Christmas day, which is why it's always a good idea to order ASAP.
Walmart+ members can select same-day delivery on most items. You can even get free local delivery from your neighborhood Walmart store. But hurry -- same-day delivery is subject to availability, and delivery slots will likely fill up quickly that close to Christmas.
Another way to get your gifts before Christmas is to order from Walmart online and pick up at your local Walmart store. You can even reserve a pickup time. According to Walmart, your local store will deliver in as little as 1 hour as long as you order by 4pm on Dec. 24.
If you're picking up, Walmart is offering a free money deal that's not to be missed. Right now, Walmart will give you $10 off your first three orders at Walmart.com when you choose in-store pick-up or same-day delivery (with a $50 minimum purchase). Just use code HOLIDAY10 at checkout.
This offer expires Dec. 31, 2022.

Enjoy free same-day and local delivery, plus special member prices on gas with a Walmart+ membership.

Simply scan the QR code that appears on the Walmart gas station pump screen to get started, and save cash. But wait, there's more: Walmart+ members are also eligible to fill up at Sam's Club fuel centers and enjoy the special prices that are offered there to Sam's Club members.
