Because you can't prepare for everything.

Although Christmas is a holiday that involves a lot of preparation (just think about all that decorating and cooking you have to do ahead of your Christmas party!), some things are bound to fall through the cracks. So, when the big day arrives and you realize you forgot something on your shopping list—be it a Christmas present or an ingredient for Christmas dinner—you might be wondering, "Is CVS open on Christmas?" While it may seem like an unlikely question to ask, the store is great for picking up small items that might have slipped your mind ahead of the holiday.

That being said, it's so important to stay on top of which stores are open on Christmas, because you never know when you'll run out of salt for your signature mashed potatoes recipe or need a Christmas card for your hostess. To help you out, we've done the research and discovered whether or not CVS is open on Christmas.

Is CVS open on Christmas?

So, is CVS open on Christmas? A store representative confirmed to last year that the retailer was operating on an abbreviated schedule.
