Shopping at the last minute? When Knoxville stores are open Christmas Eve, Christmas Day

The closer Christmas gets, the more stressful your shopping can get – and the more crucial it is to keep track of when the store you need will be open for that emergency trip.

This year, Christmas Eve falls on a Tuesday and Christmas Day on a Wednesday. The weeks leading up to the holiday are likely to be busy enough for those looking for that perfect surprise and culinary masterpiece to dazzle this winter’s festivities – never mind those last few days.

Most Knoxville businesses will be closed on Christmas Day, and many could be closing earlier than usual the night before, so last-minute shoppers should be aware of those holiday hours (or lack of hours).
