Aldi officially announced that most stores will close by 4 p.m. on December 24th and December 31st. That’s right—you’ll need to channel your inner speed-runner to grab those essentials before the doors lock.
And here’s the kicker: on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day, all Aldi stores are completely closed. Zip. Zilch. Nada. No hunting for discounted eggnog at 8 p.m. while wearing pajamas. Sorry, my procrastinating friend.
Why So Early, Aldi?
Look, I get it. Employees deserve to go home, eat too many cookies, and argue with relatives like the rest of us. Aldi is famously good to its workers, and giving them Christmas Eve off early is actually kind of sweet.
Plus, think about it: you don’t want to be that person glaring at a cashier because the store is out of cranberry sauce at 5:59 p.m. on Christmas Eve. (And yes, I’ve been that person. No judgment.)
