While many stores like Target and Walmart will be closed, others like CVS and Family Dollar will be open for shoppers, according to a list compiled by The Balance.

Additionally, movie theater chains and some restaurants will also be open on Christmas Day if you plan to spend the holiday out of the house.

Here’s a list of stores open this Christmas:

Pharmacies open on Christmas Day
