Does Costco close early on Christmas Eve?
Yes, Costco will have reduced hours on Christmas Eve (Wednesday, December 24, 2025). Most warehouses are expected to open around 10:00 AM and close at 5:00 PM, but some locations may open earlier to executive members or adjust their hours slightly.

What to do on New Year’s Eve?

What holiday deals does Costco have?
Costco is known for raising its prices during the holidays. Here are some great seasonal products:
- Discounted gift cards (e.g. $100 Instacart card for $80)
- Holiday gift baskets with gourmet food and wine
- Pair with family pajamas and seasonal outfits
- Outdoor decorations like oversized snowmen, reindeer and pre-lit garlands
- Buy large Christmas trees and interior decorations at warehouse prices
These items tend to sell out quickly, so it’s best to shop early in the season.
final thoughts
Costco is a go-to destination for holiday preparations, but it’s not the place for last-minute Christmas shopping.
