Despite it being common knowledge that Aldi reduces its opening hours during Christmas, people still need to get things at the last minute.

Sometimes it’s because they forgot to buy some ingredients for their Christmas dinner; other times, they are too busy to stock up before Christmas and must dash out before and on the big day. 

This article is focused on Aldi, so if you shop with Aldi, here are answers to your questions. 

What are the Aldi opening hours during the run-up to Christmas?

Whether you need to get everyday essentials, you need to get gifts, or cooking ingredients a few days before the festive fun, you’ll need to know if the store is going to open during the festive season and beyond. 

Aldi has a yearly ritual of adjusting spending hours to suit customers’ shopping needs. In the run-up to Christmas, they extend their opening hours. 

Their stores are open from 7 am until 10 pm the week before Christmas. 

On Christmas Eve, Aldi stores will be open from 7 am to 6 pm. 

The information above is usually constant; however, — due to some factors — it may vary from branch to branch. If there is any change in the opening hours, Aldi will notify customers on their website. 

Outlets in Scotland and Wales usually have different closing hours. 

Make sure you check the store locator for the opening hours of your local Aldi store. 

What are the Aldi opening hours on Christmas Day?

On Christmas day, all Audit stores will be closed for the day. The day after — Boxing day — all Aldi stores will also remain shut. 

This is nothing new as, since its launch in the UK in 1990, all Aldi stores have stayed closed on Boxing day. Aldi then opens the next day, December 27, and most branches are open from 8 am to 8 pm.

From December 28 through to December 30, all Aldi stores will stay open from 8 am to 8 pm in the UK, while in the United States, they may stay open till 9 pm or up to 10 pm on the East Coast. 

On the 31st, the opening hours are from 8 am until 6 pm. 

Will ALDI be open on Christmas Day in the United States?

As it stands, all Aldi stores in the United States will remain closed on Christmas Day, and just like its counterparts in the UK, they will be operating at reduced hours on Christian Eve. If you have plans for last-minute grocery shopping and need to get to an Aldi store, make sure you go early. 

Although stores will be opened on December 24, we recommend you call ahead to ensure what time they will be closing —there’s a big chance that they will close by 6 pm, but we can never be too careful. The exact closing time for Aldi stores may change annually. You can visit Aldi’s website for information on its operations.
